What would be considered a large amount of visitors every day ...

I was just wondering what would be considered a large amount of visitors to a site per day. I am hearing about people wich get 1000 visitors a day. Others are happy with 200. I know it depends on what your goal is. But what 'average' would be considered a 'busy site' ?

I'd say 100,000/day.

I'd say 100,000 is a large amount & 10,000 is a reasonable amount.

Also depends on the ratio of users to income, and the amount of people who are actually interested in the topic of your site.
If one of my sites was getting 100,000 visitors a day I would probably by the top adsense earner in the UK, but there just isnt that much potential interest in the topic.

Certainly the ratio of visitors to income is most important. So if 1% generate income, that's 100,000 X 1%= 10,000 visitors generating income, but if only .01% generate income, that's only 100 visitors generating income.

So it's all about finding ways to turn more of your visitors into visitors who generate income.

I'd say 100,000 is a large amount & 10,000 is a reasonable amount.
I'd say about the same amount as well, although I would be content with even half of that.

Oh I'd be happy with half of that too!!

1000 targetted visitors a day would be a good first target. It largely depends on the niche though, 1000 visitors per/day could be owning the market in some niches, whilst be very little traffic in others.

LOL...shoot. I'm in such dire need, A fractional percentage of a smidgen of those visitors would do me justice...

You have a large amount of visitors when your hardware cannot handle it. Everything else is just not enough :)
