Normal conversion rate is around 3% with respect to the visits made. Do some mathematics to calculate how much traffic you need based on the sales target you may have.
The rule is 100 unique visitor for a sale. But some people do better, and againyour product can affect your conversion rate too. Work on getting 700 unique visitors and you will be just fine.
I agree. If you have a bunch of traffic, but it doesn't convert into any $ then it's kinda pointless to have a bunch of traffic. I would suggest doing some market research and seeing what would create more conversions for you.
Wow some of you guys are getting some great numbers. Is it mainly through SEO or other avenues like PPC?
I didn't read the rest of this thread HOWEVER to answer the OP's question it really depends on the site you have and your niche. Additionally what are you trying to make money off of? Adsense? CPA offers? Are you actually selling your product? Or for that matter where is your traffic coming from. Is it free? Or is it coming from PPC? Because if it's the later you have to factor that into the equation as well because you aren't really making money if you're paying more than you're bringing in. As for how much I'm bringing in? Well I have quite a few sites so depending upon the site anywhere from 200-15,000 views a day. I've been doing this quite a while.
My Blog is only 1.5 months old and i am getting 1000-1200 UV per day, with my adsense i am getting arround $5-$10/day, hope it increases! I have smowtion as well, earnings are low, $1 /day!
Tech news website is the best niche to go for, your site seems new, keep updating dailing and keep building links! Best will be submitting to Rss directories, your website will get lots of subscribers! within a month bro, you will be getting more thn 1500 uniques! and it will be increasing!
There's really no such thing as "the best niche", and in fact I would say that tech news is actually quite saturated.
It really does depend on your niche. As an example anything in the financial niche tends to pay much higher commissions, so even with a smaller amount of traffic (500 visitors daily) you can still earn a good monthly income. Some niches simply do not pay well at all whether it is with adsense or affiliate programs so even a lot of traffic may never pay well.
