Digg and its earnings?

Hi, I visit Digg sometimes when I'm bored (okay, maybe all the time) and recently I noticed that there was Adsense put up on the front page. I knew there were ads there, but I didn't know they were provided by Google.

So I was chatting up with my friend who is also a Digg user, and he told me that Digg makes well over 5 figures everyday with the number of traffic that it receives.

Well, I don't really believe him but is this true? I'm pretty sure with the huge amounts of traffic, not every individual is going to click on an ad, for sure.

If this is true, then it really mind boggles me and inspires me to do better with my future experience with Adsense.

 

Digg gets major traffic every day, so it's not surprising they get a 5 figure daily income.

 

Yeah. Big sites like myspace, digg, facebook do make over 10k a day with AdSense and other CPC programs. Wish i owned one of those.

 

Around $50,000/day I guess. I'm not surprised, coz I have....

 

Please don't keep us in suspense. We would like you to complete the sentence.

 

digg is also a premium publisher, they can get a guranteed ecpm according to some rumours from people who have premium accounts

Digg Earns Lot More then us
See the proof

It comes in top 8 Biggest Google Adsense Earners
Actually it ranks 2

 

yup...means more then 50k

 

yup, the creator of the site was even on some business magazine on how in 2 years or something took a simple idea into like 30 milliion dollars or something.

i read an article that myspace makes around 25million a month on ads.

 

wow, this stuff is really inspirational.

 

I don't think they earn that much, the crowd that uses digg is a very tech saavy crowd and they avoid ads like the plaque...

If Digg was doing that well they would need to be raising cash which they just did.

 

i can not guess the exact amount of their earning but i can say that they are earning so much money from adsense

 

It's a whole load of money that's for sure.

I'm not sure where people are getting that $50,000 a day figure from, but according to this Business Week article, Digg has an estimated $3 million in annual revenue which works out to a little more than $8,200 a day.

And that is not all AdSense revenue, they use FM to sell ads as well.

 

Digg gets mucho earnings id say 5 figures daily easily.

 

also note that article is from august 2006, and since than digg's userbase and traffic have increased a great deal.

 

Actually, the article is from Aygust (some of the events reported happened in June), and Digg's traffic hasn't grown too much in the last six months, here is the Alexa graph :

 

still their making a good chunk of change to me...i still say $XX,XXX ;P

 

I wonder how they dodge getting banned from adsense

 

they are a premium publisher with adsense lol
