    5,000 uniques per day can only generate $300-1000? There are plenty of people on here that only have 1500-2000 uniques per day and generate $40-60 a day...

    If you saw a website, and they wanted to sell you ad space, and they have some crappy statistics tracker, and they claim they are extremely popular (through their crappy tracker), how would you tell if that site actually is worth the money?

    You would use Alexa to get a general idea of how many people do visit this site, it's not 100%, but it's similar to Political polls (they poll a few, and then claim to know who's winning), this is the same with Alexa. Statistically, it's pretty accurate.

    If you tell me your alexa, I can tell you an approximation or a range of unique visitors you get, and hence the table with the approximate adsense.

    But since I am making 1 guess to determine another guess, that is why you hear a bunch of people that say "WELL THIS DOESNT LOOK ACCURATE" of course it isn't, it isn't a SCIENCE, it's an educated guess.

    People can look at the table and say "well i'm making way over this" that means you are the ABOVE other sites that have similar stats (it means you did a good job), if you are BELOW the range, that means, well you could do more and actually make more money.

    The only reason I increased the high-end range, is so that people who kept saying "well i make ____,____ with the same alexa" --- it's so that, well, if that guy is telling the truth (which I'm taking his word for, even without proof), then maybe with that alexa ranking, you can make that much money.

    So the maximums are more inaccurate than the minimums.

    Yes that can happen too, which is why the minimum is so low , but I'm sure you can make about 5$ a month, with a little more improvement.

    You're right, that's why the range, for 5,000 uniques per day (Alexa ranking of around 100,000-->50,000) can make Avg. Monthly: $100.00 -- $50,000.00 range.
    That includes the 40-60$ a day.

    The number was based on a site that had 7,000 uniques PER DAY, and was only making 400$ a month.

    i have 3 medical sites and all sites total of around 6000-7000 UV per day.but what good is that i usually get around $2-$10 per clicks when i'm lucky so my earning goes high with less clicks.

    And yea i don't have alexa installed on my sites.

    Yes, since my expertise is usually computers, sites I've owned in the past, have been mostly gaming related or development related. Hence, very low revenue and too much competition definitely.

    I'm sure you make a lot of money with those medical sites.

    Seriously great job on the 6000+, that's really difficult to do without an original product or extremely unique content. How long did it take you to accomplish that?

    I just said, generally this place is full false information. Now you personally might not be offering ' i-made-$9000--per-minute-from-adsense-SO-CAN-YOU' style nonsense... but your 'look-at-my-earnings-chart-that-I-made' post certainly looks like the same style of empty misinformed novice so called information that is all too common here. I stand by my comment.

    At first I thought I was an adsense newbie, I've been using adsense for years, but even so didn't really get into it and therefore thought I was a newbie. After reading this site for a few weeks, I've revised my opinion, i'm a ****** expert compared to some of the **** posted on here.

    I stand by my comment, there's so many subtle intricacies involved in adsense earnings. Site ranking only being one, small, not exactly significant, (Alexa even less significant) part. which makes throwing up a chart based entirely on Alexa ranking, completely nonsensical. Futher you then negate most of it by saying oh add a few % if this, take a few % off if that... By your own admission wasting your time with your earnings == rankings chart. Wth your comments above you further dilute your earnings chart with... oh er some sites earn more some will earn less... no shit.

    No. It doesn't. Sorry if it offends... but idiotic time wasting rubbish bothers me.

    Good day

    lol, sweetfunny.

    What about the below info?!? - We'd better tell sites like MSN & yahoo that they can make billions a month displaying Google Adsense ads :)

    Alexa Ranking Range of 100---> 1 :: Avg. Monthly: Millions, and probably Billions of dollars.

    Obviously after 100->1, you will have more specific advertisement, non-adsense usually. Adsense is used for sites that need advertisers and can't get it themselves, google does it instead. MSN has its own advertisers they dont rely on adsense, and losing commission/money to google.

    @plingboot
    You are a noob, you think this chart is rubbish, but I use to think how much this could have helped me if someone had posted this years ago, so I know exactly how well my website is doing and when I will begin to make money. If someone has alexa ranking of 600,000, they do wanna know how much they can make, and they are curious as to whether they are making a lot or a little.

    I'm sorry, I see you made an effort there, but this is actually a waste of time. There's no meaningful way to calculate how much you 'should' earn - there are WAAAAAAAY too many variables for this. At the end of the day it's just going to end up being a guessing game.

    Best get back to doing some real work, and not worry about what you 'should' be earning from your little AdSense critters. :)

    You've obviously spent a lot of time on the table - Many apologies for the criticism you've received from DP members

    I think that the OP doesn't deserve all the negative comments I read, there are many people who'd like to know the relationship between Alexa rankings and Google Adsense, me included.

    At least we are exchanging interesting informations based on the experience of professional webmasters.

    Think how much it helps when you have a range of $1k and $250k, or between $100 and $50,000?

    It doesn't help one little bit sorry. You are probably far better off basing your formula off this: http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~ssanty/cgi-bin/eightball.cgi

    Except the Alexa rank I gotta agree with the earnings. Niche is a big factor.

    Tarkhan you could fix a lot of this by taking in to account the broad variable in content niche. PPC returns are much higher for terms related to say "DUI Lawyer" than for something like "Floor Wax". I manage a number of web sites and I can tell you that if traffic were equal on all sites, returns would vary widely.

    Then you have to take into account things such as demographics. What age groups and gender are more likely to click an ad? Sites about gaming may have higher clicks then sites about bed linens simply because the audience is more easily swayed by ads - who knows?

    The variables start to really play games with the results. Your chart needs a bit more meat added to it and some parts are just too tough to call.

    But I like the concept and what you are trying to do.

    I have 2 sites: one ranked 13,829 and the other ranked 23,564.

    I wish the chart were accurate, even for the minimum range. I'd be looking at 300g's a month.

    Reality is I'm pulling about 5g's a month. :eek:

    I'd also like to point out that Alexa stopped relying so much on their toolbar stats way back in April when they announced that other traffic factors would be coming into the mix to give a more accurate reading. It makes the whole "technical vs non-technical" traffic stats less obvious.
