    $100 a day, from 10,000 page views, but I have a topic that gets quite high keyword bids (people tracing). And that's from just one skyscraper adsense ad - I figure I'll make maybe $250 a day when I put more units on each page, and given them better positions

    I think this is an AdSense question, not AdWords. In short, Alexa rankings mean little, particularly if you're not in, say, the top 10K. Furthermore, it's going to depend on all sorts of other factors... placement on the page of the ads, number of ad units, number of other things to click on, how good the integration is, etc. etc. etc. So, in short, you simply can't say an Alexa ranking of x will give a return of y.

    Alexa rankings have little meaning unless you are at least in the top 20,000 or so. Its very easy to manipulate Alexa and there does not seem to be any consitency i.e. a site getting 100 inques can reach Alexa 100,000 while another getting 1000 uniques is not in the top 400,000.

    Anyway, to reach 40,000, one would assume your site would need at least 15K unique vistors a day, but its very difficult to answer precisely how much you could make with that much traffic because it would epend on the type of site, the ad placement, the amount of new visitors, etc. However, to give a rough figure, you should be able to top $100 a day assuming the site draws pretty well paid ads and not 1-2 cent average clicks.

    I think they would be in the top 10,000 if they make that much.

    no... it is 300,000 because that 900,000 was in canadian dollars.... look at the check.. CAD 901,112.45 or whatever. SO that equeals around 300 grand.

    I think Plentyoffish also has a large expenditure on pay per click advertising, certainly, not all of it is profit.

    Well you could just do some conservative calculations to work out what you would make. If you had a site in the top 50,000 of Alexa I'm just going to assume that you'd be getting 10,000+ uniques a day.

    Now the big thing is what sort of site would you be running. I mean there is a big difference if you run a site that is full of articles or a forum. If you ran a information site that was basically just full of articles and information you might be able to more aggressively integrate AdSense. I mean even a conservative figure might be a 4 - 5% CTR but if you had some more aggressive integration you could pull a CTR anywhere from 10% - 30%, but for these estimates lets just go with 3%.

    Now how much are you earnings per click. Again this is something that vary dramatically, it could be anywhere from $0.01 - $1.00 per click, but I think a fairly conservative estimate would be around the $0.10 mark.

    Now whilst you may have 10,000 unqiue visitors a day, how many impressions is that a day? Well again you might like to be conservative about it and say 20,000 or 30,000. For this conservative estimate I'd go with 25,000.

    From there it's just maths.

    25,000 Impressions x 3% CTR x $0.10 per click

    $75/day.

    Again that is fairly conservative. It could be ALOT more or it could be considerably less. I know I personally earn closer to $150/day from around 8,000 uniques a day with somewhat similar stats to above.

    I actually have a website thats pulling about 2k unique visitors a day and its below 40k in Alexa. Alexa is rubbish though, people are selling services that actively manipulate the rankings.
