From my experience, 500,000 pageviews a month will turn a decent profit. Absolute minimum seems to be 100,000 a month, which is extremely easy to obtain these days.
- patrickaljord 16y agoHow much can you make with 100,000?
- symptic 16y ago100,000 at $1 CPM = 100,000 * .001 = $100 If you are just throwing up a generic banner ad network, it's probably close to $.10-.25 CPM. Then multiply by how many ad units displayed per page (networks usually don't allow any more than 2-3). So: 100,000 * .00025 = $25; x3 = $75 Very rough estimates. With a site with such a particular niche, he can probably get a higher CPM. I also count 7 ads on the home page.
- iaskwhy 16y agoMy numbers from January: 159k pageviews (137k with ads, one per page at the bottom), $84 in Adsense.
- maneesh 16y agoHrm, my January numbers: Page Impressions, 12900; AdSense, $340
- iaskwhy 16y agoWell, it's public how numbers vary so much. Mine's a niche music site so I don't think I should expect much more than what it's doing right now. I could easily improve the banners placement though, I just think it isn't worth it.
- SeamusBrady 16y agoOK - I'll bite :) Could you qualify why you think it is easy to get 100,000 pageviews a month? I am intrigued.
- oldstrangers 16y agoI consider 100,000 pageviews a month easy because I can achieve that number organically (without paying for traffic) within a few months. My niche is probably a bit easier than some others, though. I also consider it easy in comparison to the fact that it took me 2 1/2 years to get to 600,000 a month when I first started. I could probably do 600,000 organically in half the time now.
