    Can a site with 100-200 quality uniques a day and 10-20 pages of unique content expect to make $10-15 a day in Adsense?

    I know this depends on a lot of factors like CTR, CPC, etc.... but on average don't you need a lot more traffic than 100-200 uniques a day to get in the $10-15 a day range?

    I have several sites which have over 100 uniques a day and none of them make that kind of money. Do my sites suck or is the person who told me this blowing smoke?

    What are your traffic and earnings stats?

    Yes it's possible.

    If your site is well designed and the ads are attractive (inticing) you can EASILY see a CTR of 20% or higher.

    If your traffic is high quality, US based traffic... and your niche is known for high paying keywords; you could easily average OVER $1 per click.

    The math: 200 uniques/day * 20% CTR * $1 AVG/Click = $40/day

    Easier said than done... but VERY possible.

    I know its possible but how likely. Can you really expect to continually build sites with that low of traffic and that high of earnings?

    Lets be realistic.

    I would say the norm for CTR is around 5% and for CPCs is around $0.20-$0.50.

    That isn't possible. You would need around 50 clicks or more pending on the type of content of your website on your google ad to make around $10.00. Then the next day you would need another 50 clicks, that would be half of your visitors that clicked. So, the total you could make with the same 200 visitors would be $40.00. Then when they click again and again it wont count because google sees that the same IP is clicking over and over again. This is why you would need around 3,000 visitors daily to make around $10.00 daiy. Also, just so you know, not everyone will click on your ads. You may just get 3-6 clicks a day. So, the best way to earn more is to earn more traffic. :)

    It's possible but very unlikely. Most likely you will earn $1-2 per-day.

    When I was using google adsense I had around 150 to 200 visitors per-day and i was making around $0.75 to $1.50 per-day.

    That is what I was thinking too. This guy is trying to say you can turn out 5-10 page sites and have them making $10-15 within 3 months but simply doing the basic keyword research, writing unique articles, submitting to directories, adding a new articles once a week and link building. He goes on to say you can produce one of these sites a week for one year and you will be making close to $200,000 a year.

    Then I saw one person ask about traffic and he said 100-200 uniques is enough to make $10-15 per site. I didn't think everything sounded legit.
