How much traffic is enough?

    So I have a domain that's been parked for about year and has earned a total of about a dollar. It gets about 80 uv / month that I'm pretty certain are from back links so I assume that the traffic is targeted. I've been toying with the idea of redirecting the domain to an affiliate product that's in the niche and my question is - is it worth it do so with only 80 uv monthly? Does anyone out there have a very low traffic site that still converts, because the traffic is pretty targeted?

    If they are relevant/related topics go for it! I have a website that gets about 2 visitors a day but it made me >$50 last month because the few people who show up are interested in the product I'm selling.

    Targeted traffic is gold for the targetee! I know, not a real word but you know what I mean :) If the product is unique and hard to get by, you can earn what you deserve :)

    Honestly that's just not enough traffic. Not to mention the fact it could be your competitors, etc.

    Obviously its not enough traffic to go retire on a tropical beach, but if the choice is between a parked domain serving adsense ads about the product or sending those people to his own affiliate for that same product, the decision should be a no-brainer. The only opportunity cost is the $1 in ad revenue...

    Thanks for your thoughts :) I think I'm going to give it a shot since it's wasting away on sedo anyway
