    Finally! I hit 1 million visitors in a month! Last month, I hit just short of 700,000.

    How much money do you guys think I should be making with that kind of traffic?

    There is no guarantee.. I have owned a site that has a traffic of around 9 million, still earnign less than 2000$. Also there are sites that earn more than $10 per unique visitors. It all depends on niche and your traffic quality. SO I am not going to guess anything!

    Yup, cpm will do best. Your bounce rate is 80%, which is pretty high. 41 seconds average for 1 million visitors will provide *good enough* time for cpm.

    Depends on your site and audience.

    If you had a site selling gold bullions, with a 0.1% conversion rate, you'd be minting it.

    If you have a proxy site with CPM ads, it would be a lot less :p

    Put ads on the website and see

    It is all about CTR niche and from where visitators come

    with a low CTR and poorly performing keywords I can only imagine that a million hits per month should be $400 to $600 per month.

    (Im basing those figures on a really poorly performing site Ive got with 500,000 hits per month)

    If I had your site I would personally be able to VERY easily make way over $3,000 a month.

    Are you purchasing this traffic? 40 second avg visit is pretty low

    Yeah, between the high bounce rate and low pages visited and the low time on the site, doesn't seem like very good traffic. CPM might earn you a couple hundred, depending on the company. If users click ads who know how much. :)

    No, I'm not purchasing traffic. I have never advertised at all either. It's just google, google images, yahoo, a good fan base, and constant updates.

    Well, then, your traffic seems to be organic, which is the best kind to have. Not necessarily for revenue, but these guys are interested in what you have to say- Seth Godin calls this permission marketing.
    I'd recommend you find out where these visitors are coming from and what they want. Maybe even do a survey on your site. Then improve your bounce rate. If you have 1 million dedicated visitors, you can probably quit your day job.

    If you happen to have a blog, you could sell reviews. there are lot of sites you can sign up with to sell reviews. Also consider affiliate programs.
