example ( just dream it ) - you have an article site. you want to make daily 200 $ or more maybe 300 for this : how much unuqie hit will you need daily? ( daily 5.000 or 10.000 or how much? - to get this hit daily, how much $$ will you need for advertisement of this article site? lets discuss it..i need your advices.. Thank you and regards
I think you'd need way more than 5000-10000. I've received that amount in one day and only made $40. Skinny
I've always wondered if people with article sites earn anything... I mean, most of the visitors would be webmasters, and we all know that webmasters are the ones that never click ads.
Your right i really dont think keyword rich article sites with thousands of unique articles and dripping with pr will make much, maybe a few thousand dollars a day.
picasa : thanks. i only want to learn about adsense skinny : do you make with 10.000 hits only 40 $ ? what kind of site do you have?article? fryman : many people interest in articles. ifyou have good content why not waiting comments please..come on..
not sure why you think many people are interested in articles. If you have new unique content then why waste it on an article site? you should start a niche site and put your articles on there so you get targeted traffic and not just webmasters.
i didnt say only for " webmasters ". it will be general article sites. well. how much $$$ can be budget for this?for advertisement.. lets talk about this a bit..
And who visits those sites? With duplicate content you sure won't be getting good ranks at search engines. There are already like 100 million sites full of articles, since any lazy bum would rather use them than writing their own content or adding original content to their sites.
But it will not duplicate content ( all of them. at least %50 will be ours - university content and unuqie )
Most article sites are too "unfocused" to do reliably well. The article are about all subjects, so you don't know what ads you'll be getting from Google or even if a visitor will be interested enough to click on one of them. If you have a site that specializes in a particular area like medical articles, then you have a better chance of making money. You know that your ads will all be medical-related and that your visitors are looking for medical information so they'll be more likely to click on the ads. Web marketing rule #1: FOCUS! If you try to be everything for everyone, you will end up not being anything for anyone. Pick an area of specialization and focus on it. Scott
By reasonable estimate of 1% CTR and 20 cents per click, you need 100,000 page views to make 200$. Thats a reasonable estimate from my experience, but it could vary a lot, depending on your site, visitors, topic etc.
its not only how many people you get to your site. Its about the keywords you use, your keyword placement and your overall site quality. One of my sites only gets 1.5k uniques per day but make $40 a day.
I run some general article directories and some niche sites...believe me most of the traffic should come from search engines...my sites are about 3-6 months old and starting to get some traffic. I hope I'd make some real bucks when they mature. I spent nothing on promo...yet i receive traffic and alexa ranking is about 75k
I disagree, the webmaster market is huge. We all buy domains, hosting, possibly servers, programs, computers. I would agree that webmasters dont click any old ad, but they do click ads of interest. Neil
I require Javascript to be enabled on some of my sites in order for files to be downloaded. I use PHP with mySQL to enforce JS enabled on the server side. Even with that, only ~65% of visitors have JS enabled. This means that ~35% of visitors aren't even seeing the ads. This is a mainstream site. For technical sites only about ~40% of visitors had JS enabled before I started requiring it. Then it went up to about 50%. What you need to look at is your clickthru rate. The number of impressions versus the number of clicks. If this is less than 1% then you're doing something horribly wrong like hiding your ads. Use the large rectangle, set the background color to match your web-sites background color and then put it at the top of your article. If people don't know the ads are there, they aren't going to click on them. The next thing you have to look at is the number of clicks versus the amount earned. If you're only making a few pennies per click, you need to rework your article. Put high quality keywords at the top of your article. That should get you better returns pretty quickly.
