Is 100 unique daily visitors worth $?

[bigtreble]

Just curious if I'm on the right path...

I'm getting 100 unique visitors every day on my blog. I'm averaging about $0.25/day from adsense (approx 1 click daily).

Should 100 visitors be worth more than quarter? I'm thinking about experimenting with overture or affiliation.

[fsmedia]

That's about right, as far as conversion goes. I reach nearly xx,xxx people per day and barely peak at what I want it to. just start building up link exchanges to get some more traffic. write unique content and if you're looking higher contextually paid ads, write different kinds of content. ad placement is key as well. you may consider placing your ads in a different part of your site in order to gain better contextualization for the ads.

[bigtreble]

I reach nearly xx,xxx people per day

May I ask HOW? Or is the question how many domains?

[DavidAusman]

100 unique a day should worth more than that. But it all depends on your industry. I had several website that has 100 unique a day that earn around $4each.

[bigtreble]

Interesting. Are there any search engines/site to lookup keyword value?

[fsmedia]

For AdSense/AdWords, not really. There are 'high paying keywords' lists out there and there is an Overture tool which you could use for pricing, but the Overture tool is only for Yahoo! and not for Google. Some commonly known high paying keywords are 'law', 'loans', 'money', 'travel', and things of that nature.

try to increase your ctr. 1 click from 100 visitors seems a bit low, although this depends on your industry and target audience as well. check out the adsense heatmap to optimize adsense placement.

[raven2424]

yes 1 click per 100 vistors is low i started a site and so far ive been getting amzing results and im very plaesd im at about 30 uniques a day cant wait to hit 300 its gonna be great.

[dsm56]

Depends also on what topic your site is, how the clicks pay.
I used to make $1 a click on one of my sites for a while, that was awesome, now its dropped to $0.08.

I am still baffled as to how this could happen, but hey, c'est la vie

[miko67]

Should 100 visitors be worth more than quarter? Yes!

You need to work your way through a lot of change. Some technical and some content wise.

In the end you will probably be able to reach anywhere from a quarter to $10 per day.

There is absolutely room for improvement. Post the URL and add a question or two about how to improve. Or just read a few of the many similar threads around here.

Also be nice and report back when you've experienced success as a way to say thank you for advice to others and - more importantly - as a way to help others as you were helped (hopefully).

Hope to get more uniques and get 10$ a day.. :)
im now getting 30-60 uniques a day... hope to get more uniques..

[Brad Callen]

This really all depends on the topic of your website. Some Adsense clicks are worth a heck of a lot more than others. For example, I have a new website I don't spend any time on, that only averages about 45 visitors per day, get only roughly 10 Adsense clicks/day, yet makes $5.00/day.

So, it depends entirely on what types of adsense ads are being displayed on your site.

Brad

[DavidAusman]

ho ho ho ...
45 visitors a day with an earning of $5 must be something related to investment or pharmacy. That's great! I never earn $5 with that number of visitors.

[orcunyucel]

i have no more than unique visitors daily. i am getting only one click in 1 week:(

[MattEvers]

This should be in the adsense forum.

[Crusader]

1 click per 100 visitors is about right. Blogs tend to be rather difficult to make money from, unless you have a very popular blog. Your main concern should be on trying to get more traffic to your site. More traffic = more clicks = more money.

Getting traffic is the hardest part though. Good luck!

[bschneider5]

I think it all depends on the topic of your blog. If it's a personal blog, and the topic is different from post to post, you're doing ok. If it's a niche blog, where the subject matter is all relative, then there might be room for improvement.

[KingSEO]

Think about the two magic factors:

1) How many visitors you have to your site.
2) How many sites you have.

Almost anyone can put togheter a site that gets 50 uniques / day. Everyone can register 100 domains. Thus, it's very doable to make a sensible income from for instance adsense. You just need to find 100 interests.

[tri]

It all depends on the template, niche and whether your ads are on topic.

But 1 click out of 100 is waay too low.Place your adsense wisely and match their color with the colors of your theme, place small link units in the menu, install the adsense-delux plugin and place ads in your posts, if using wordpress of course.Having high CTR on a blog isn't that hard, I had a blog with more than 50% CTR.It depends almost 80% on the template.

Hope it helps, but you have a lot of room for improvement.

[Dustin07]

I would have thought it sounded about right...
but:100 unique a day should worth more than that. But it all depends on your industry. I had several website that has 100 unique a day that earn around $4each. sounds high to me... maybe somewhere in the middle?

[skyraider]

Yes!

$10 per day? Even with a 5% CTR, you'd have to have a very high CPM to make that. Are there keywords out there that still pay $2 a day? Most, like mesothelimoa, have gone down significantly.

[tlainevool]

One thing to consider is how you are counting your visitors. Some stats packages count anything as a unique vistor. Since you have a blog you probably get a lot of visits from blog crawlers. Obviously these crawlers aren't going to be click on ads!

[wwm]

i have adsense on 3 websites (one of them makes 99% of revenue)

i hope the other 2 will bring in the exponential revenue growth that i seen in the last year with my first site!

[miko67]

$10 per day? Even with a 5% CTR, you'd have to have a very high CPM to make that.Well, we were talking about a situation of 100 uniques and a click through of 1% resulting in $0.25 on a daily basis.

What I try to say is that, you should be able to make your number of clicks pr. 100 visitor rise from 1 to anything from 2-10 which would result in an income of $0,50 to $2,50.

An average of $0,25 per click doesn't sound bad, but there might be room for improvement in the long run by continuing to focus on higher paying keywords. It's a difficult game, but one of the ways might be to only show one or two ad-blocks thereby getting the higher yielding clicks only.

Still, $10 on a hundred unique visitors would always be considered a very good result indeed :cool: and difficult indeed.

Also take into consideration how many outbound links you have on your ad pages. You'd want to leave your adsense as a last resort for clicking away from your page, but you'd rather have adsense clicked than an outbound link, right? Keep this in mind...

Another popular approach used by many webmasters is to make your webpage good enough to with selfesteem send a user away from your page without fearing they'll never return.

The key element to succeeding in this is to offer content worth bookmarking / returning too. Then you can enjoy the luxury of repeted adsense clicks from your visitors.

[MtraX]

I agree. Regularly updated content will contribute to this.

[Gaara]

imo, not worth the hassle.

[loopy62]

Take a gander on this sites:

It may help or not.

[Alan Murray]

I think you should get more than one click per 100.

[MtraX]

Guys, it all depends on the niche that you're in. Some keywords pay a few cents and others pay more. It's called 'keyword research'...

Some sites like forums don't pay that much, since users are just there to read, and if you have regular return users it means that they're coming back to read your content, not to click on your ads again (allthough technically it does increae your chances of getting clicks).

[Brad Callen]

100 uniques with 1 click?

You should have be able to get alot higher then a 1% ctr on your ads.

Some adsense sites I have can get up to 60% ctr rate.

Having said that, alot depends on exactly the subject your adsense is on, and if you have been smart priced or not (I hate that).

What sort of placement do you have for your adsense?

Brad

[dsm56]

60%? wow...do you have a lot of adverts on that page?

[SportsOutlaw]

and that all goes to hell when mcdonalds is bombing your site with chicken sandwich ads. :)

[Brad Callen]

It depends on the site layout dsm56,

On some of the high ctr's I have a very very "cute" header graphic.

Then a large banner directly below that.

Also have a Large rectangle block mixed in with my text, Either spanning to the left or to the right.

Also have text link ads mixed in with my navigation menu.

Also all the traffic is targetted traffic through search engines. I find this makes your visitors much more likely to click on your ads.

Brad

[ahearn]

A technique I'm using successfully to get high CTRs is breaking my content into narrowly focused sub-topics on multiple small pages. Visitors to those pages are more likely to click on ads related to that sub-topic. CTRs in high double digits are common. One had well over 100% (due to link unit + ad units) but I removed the link unit due to low per-click payout, which reduced CTR but increased revenue.

Good SEO techniques on each page helps get highly targeted search engine traffic to each page, which helps insure high CTR on relevant ads.

What's a narrowly focused sub-topic, some may ask? For example, if you have a site about cars, a sub-topic might be "buying cars" and a more narrowly focused sub-topic might be "buying cars with poor credit". Another might be "buying flood damaged cars."

[skiper]

im happy that my site now gets 100-150 uniques per day with an average of 6-10 clicks and giving me few cents.. im averaging 0.50 a day
hope to get a higher click value....

I used searchfeed, are there other ppc good enough as adsense?

[Asian Playboy]

I have to agree with shoemoney.com's assesment, which is IPU. Income per Unique. The average that you should be making is $0.02 per unique.

I'm just about there, depending upon if blogspot.com is fucking working or not. I've blended ads, done optimal ad placement, increased my traffic at least 2x fold in the past month (hopefully blogspot's downage hasn't permantly affected my efforts), SEOing, etc. etc. fucking etc.

I may not have as much traffic as the "big boys', but I AM pulling in the bare minimum IPU.

[kawebspy]

Actually I have a site with 50 uniques a day but still earning much. I think it depends on the keyword being targeted by your site. I have also a site that receives morethan 1000 uniques and with higher CTR but then it is earning lower than the first site.

[Matthius]

I would like to get some feedback on my site. Is it against ToS to post my site URL for review? We average maybe 40 uniques a day, and yet we make no money from adsense...Well we made 1.73 the first day, but now on our third day we have no revenue at all...Anyways if its ok to post my site please give me the nod.:)

[Matthius]

Anyone? I'd really like advice on this...

[tlainevool]

You're in the wrong forum for this. Try the "AdSense > Placement Help / Reviews" forum

What are you, slow? The other guys have been pointing the other dude to the right forum, and here you go asking for a review of your own site here. Sheesh!

[MtraX]

LOL Jack!! Was just thinking the same thing... ;-)

[mobilebay]

yeh yeh i no the script , no wonder I got red but hey .

[mobilebay]

To be honest so many people concentrate so much on correcting people they stray from the point , it was an enquiry while also mentioning my unique visitors, by your logic , if Im mentioning visitors I shouldn't be posting in ad placement string, hence combining to points.
