Generally I agree, except for a couple points:
5-10K uniques/day? Congrats you can get into the premium CPM networks.
Not all traffic is created equal, so just hitting those numbers won't get you a decent ad deal.
1m uniques a month? Congrats you can start direct selling your advertising, without getting hung up on.
Again, depends on the site. 1MM/month is not the big deal it used to be. 1MM to a tech blog would be a big deal, 1MM to a meme photo site is not.
i.e. how college humor started threadless tees to sell tshirts.
BustedTees, not Threadless, but your point remains. (BTW, I think you meant e.g. instead of i.e., and you should always follow either with a comma)
- ianbishop 17y ago5-10K uniques per day would be much more than 70K per month, no?
- qeorge 17y agoYou're quite right, excuse me. I will edit my post. Thanks for the catch.
- vaksel 17y agoActually 5K is the official requirement for Tribal Fusion: http://www.tribalfusion.com/publishers/siterequirements http://www.tribalfusion.com/publishers/siterequirements But yeah if you are in a very saturated niche or mediocre(lolcats) niche, you might need much higher numbers to get in. And yeah quality always counts, but 1 million uniques should be a good enough point to start selling ad space. You may not get the top of the line advertisers, but you should be able to get some. Yeah you right, I meant to say Busted tees that's it, got them mixed up.
- qeorge 17y agoThanks for the link to the TF specs. They specify 5k/day, which is more than it used to be (150k/month as opposed to the 70k/month as I'd remembered it). My math was wrong anyway so I edited that out, but you were definitely correct. My apologies.
