10,000 page views/day = $10,000 a month?

Maybe I'm crazy or full of it, but I can swear I read this formula somewhere once. Or else I worked the formula out myself based on a thread somewhere about people's stats.

Basically, it's that on average, you get $1 a month for each page view you get a day.

For those with more experience, does this sound reasonable, or off, or waaaay off? I know it depends on a large number of factors, as CTR differs wildly between (and within ) sites.

But as a general rule, what do you think? I may have even moved the decimal around. What would you say an average monthly income for 1 page view a day would be?

 

I would think between $300-$600 per month

 

It's impossible to arrive at any formula that x pageviews equates to x $

It's dependent upon
1)advertisor pool
2)smartpricing effects

 

I think you could increase your CTR rate and do better than that!

Let's see...
10,000 page views a day = 300,000 a month
x 5% CTR = 15,000 clicks
x $.25/click = $3,750/month

Of course the trick then is to maintain a 5% click rate and $.25 per click average. Not impossible, depends on the niche. I think my formula is toward the top end. Well that's the goal everyone, go for it

 

Nonsense to predict any formula in general.

 

Even the CPC is hard to predict and how can you predict a formula?

 

In theory its possible, but in reality, highly unlikely.

 

it depends what type of sites you have.

 

i woult think between 500-1000$ a month which is good

 

as stated above..its all about the site you have, your content, and what the people are paying per click in that field..I don't think there is any certain "formula" you could use to calculate that.

 

Yeah, what everyone else said.

But I have this to add - if your page views are on interesting content and your ad placement is strong, then you are more likely to gain a decent CTR than on say a photo upload site or a viral marketing page. The exceptions to this would be a message board which are notorious for low revenue, and those certain sites we all know that users come in for 10 seconds, then click on ads just to get away from the site.

 

That sounds crazy. I'm getting 10,000 pageviews a day and I'm struggling to get $300 a month. Adsense is really killing me.

 

It is crazy, I think I was off by a decimal place. I was thinking 10,000/day = $1,000/month.

Of course there is no formula that can be applied across the board, but you can use this as a goal if it seems right. If you optimize, you can take best advantage of the traffic you should be building.

Never be complacent! Be happy with the 5% that click, but your goal is the other 95% Some are like me, and would never think to click an ad, but a dent can always be made in that traffic.

 

It is hard to make a formula for adsense earnings, why even bother with it

 

You are not going to be able to get accurate stats from those calculations, but if your figures were accurate I would be a millionaire in 2 months

But it does not happen like that!!!

 

I have 3 sites that are well established, (around 1-3 years old), but for the life of me I cannot get any of them over 1%.
Maybe I am doing something blatantly wrong, (and you are welcome to correct me), but I think that 5% is not what most sites see.

But I agree with the .15c/.25c per clicks.

FFMG

 

I think its difficult to calculate this way. All depends on the value of keywords that your site targeting.

 

Many say that niche sites often pay well, the nichier the better (very generally speaking, of course). Also, that non-technical sites do better (for example, housepainting sites as opposed to web design sites). So I don't think it's so much keyword related as demographics.

 

It all depends on your niche, if your site is very general the clicks are going to be lower.

 

my view niche is the most important for that
