I don't think its possible. If the clickthrough rate is about 5% then you only get 500 clicks. That would be 100$ a click.
i don't think you can get $5000 a month with only 10 000 i have 2000 visitor per day and adsense only pay me $8 to $14 per day . this my visitor this my adsense http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9124/adsensen.png i generate with my site at my sig
Yeah, Adsense isn't as it used to be. I would concentrate on affiliate commissions for the real income. It is much more lucrative.
The absolute best way to maximise your earning potential is with selling products, preferably your own. You need LOTS of traffic to make a living with Adsense.
you can not say that a visitor worth x amount of dollars. It's depends on so many things, specially on the niche, some sites can give you $0.05 per visitor and some can ever reach $3 per visitor in some expansive niches,
Its highly impossible to make 5000$ from 10K hits. One of my blog get more than 14K hits per month. But hardly making 25$ per month.
My Daily Uniquee visitors are around 9-10 k and i earn 6$ daily....now you can think how much you can earn.
With the global recession going on Adsense earnings are way down from what they used to be even 12 months ago. You will need one hell of a lot of traffic and clicks to do $5k
That CPM rate is too low. You can earn atleast $65-$75 if you have a good niche. For getting good rankings. Continue postings everyday. Submit your site to google webmaster. Create backlinks, give best keywords. read google guidelines on keywords.
My site gets 90,000 hits some days and adsense is still making around $1 to $2 per day. (Only using text links)
The only way you could make $5,000 from 10,000 unique visits is if the traffic was very targeted to the products or affiliate products you are selling(targeted traffic from organic search, or targeted ppc). For example, if the 10k visitors bought your clickbank affiliate product at 1 out of 100 uniques and you got $50 per sale, then you could make $500 per 1k visitors(10 sales from 1k visits at $50 per). Good niches to try this in would be credit card affiliate programs, web hosting, and make money online programs (products with high conversion rates), but you need targeted traffic.
You need to work on it one at a time. First you need to work hard to have 10,000 UV, if you already achieved that you work double harder to earn 5K per month. If you want to achieve the 5K in one website alone, you much have a unique website or website that will be loved by internet users. Facebook had it, that it why the owner of that site is the youngest billionaire that I know.
If you have 10,000 clicks a month (not visitors), you have the chance of getting $5000 if your clicks value averaged at $0.50.
