I have been running a site now since December and I've built up about 2000+ pages in several languages in Google. I place really well for some keywords and am still trying to target some phrases that I think are essential. I've also built 8000+ external links to my site (according to Google Webmasters Tools) and I draw in about 150-200 uniques per day, who view, on average 2.4 pages per visit. The focus of my site has been to provide information on a topic and to increase traffic. I have never implemented any form of advertising but I feel as though I may have the potential to make some bucks to at least pay for the monthly hosting. So here has similar visitor and pageview stats as well as number of indexed pages and would be willing to provide me a ballpark of what kind of revenue they receive. Is having 500+ pages translated into several languages good for five months' worth of work? Granted they're not all full posts but I do provide my own content and link to the source article, but I do write two weekly columns (in addition to updating the site several times a day with new stories with commentary). I guess what I'm trying to ask is what I should expect. Any ideas? Thanks.
Nobody can truely know that or tell you that, why not begin to experiment with a little adsense and see how it goes, add some, see what works, shift the ads around, try blending, swap and change, only you can find out.
Exactly what pipes said. Putting up numbers on a wall and throwing darts would probably give you the same numbers people could "predict" about the daily revenue. Best bet is to just try it out.
What was the point in creating your site? And now the need for monetizing it? What was your plan? And if you had no plan to profit form the site, what does it matter what it "might" make? If your plan is to cover the cost of hosting, you'll probably be able to do that. The average Adsense Webmaster makes about $50 a month. You get that number by taking the published revenue and dividing it by the number of participants.
