This is a forum and therefore you are going to get a lot of pag views per unique visitor. I think its excellent earning, but you may able to push that up further by optimizing the ads even more.
Hi again, Thanks for your tips - I do appreciate it very much - I will try those things. I notice that many people are talking about myspace.com - I guess you are creating a blog via that site - but why are you able to make so much money doing this instead of just creating a regular website ? Is there a book out on this ? Thanks! Ken
Forum ads tend to get few clickthoughs than those on other sites. $90 is not bad for 9,000 on a forum site, IMO.
OK, now I feel like crap. I've had a banner day today. One of my pages hit the top of Google, and the traffic has been nuts. So far, about 11,000 uniques, with a CTR above 4%, but I I've only made about $30 today. It's better than nothing, but still...
I have a blog that i started 3 months ago that gets around 9k uniques a day ,i have yet to put ads on it because im scared i might do something wrong by accident and get banned (im new to webmastering). but seeing how i could get $100+ a day i might have to reconsider and put adsense on asap .
Take some advice from me: Anybody that is telling you how much $ to expect for a certain amount of visitors, does not know what he/she is talking about. Secondly, you must understand. There can't be something like 60% returning unique visitors. If a visitor is returning, he/she is not unique. So you have to first find out if you are receiving 9000 unique visitors or 9000 page views. Third, eCPM, impression, etc, will all depend on how many returning visitors and how many advertisements you are showing per page. If you are showing, 3 ads under the same channel per page, your total impressions are tripled. Fourth, you have to blend your ads and think like the visitor. If you are a visitor, would you click it? Yes? No? If not, improve placement, colors of links, ad format, you name it. Anybody that tells you how much you are supposed to be making with x amount of unique visitors automatically doesn't have enough knowledge to help you in this category. I have 1 website that has 1000 unique visitors per day that makes $300 per day. I have a second website that gets 900 visitors per day which avgs $27 per day. As you can see, you can't just forecast revenue based on visitors.
Hi, You make $300.00 a day with a website ? I'm guessing that is affiliate income, but not just adsense income ? Either way, that is amazing ! You should write a book, because lots of people would buy it. May I ask what your secret is, or main way of generating this kind of income ? Send me a private email if needed. Thank you.
Many people make many times that amount per day. The secret is hard work and quality sites that give the users reason to come back. Also good knowledge of SEO, PPC and other related promotional methods can be handy.
Hi, I just heard a successful internet guru say that having adsense on your site is a bad idea because it drives people away from your site and you don't pick up ther email address to contact them later. I'll create another post about this right now and call it - "adsense a bad idea ?" if anyone wants to read it. Thanks.
You get 9 thousand unique visitors a day only after 3 months ? That's very impressive. May I ask what method you are using to build traffic ? You must have a great deal of knowledge in that area. Thanks.
You mean 9000 visits and 30000 pageviews. I don't know how you get $90 a day unless you have very high CTR or are well payed for each click. Assuming average values of 1% CTR and 0.1$ a click you should make 30$ a day from 30000 pageviews assuming you have adsense everywhere. If you can get higher CTR or get better payed keyword it could be more. Say, with 5%CTR and 0.2$ per click on average what would be excellent value, you would earn $300 a day. I wouldn't target more than $150 a day with 30000 pageviews if you get that you can only try to increase your traffic. However if you have a forum and returning visitors your CTR will be low.
