Ask HN: What should I do with my content site?
I have a web property that generates 200k impressions on Google with about 3k click-through to various pages (monthly). I have no idea whether that is a lot or a little, and whether I should care about this number or maybe even try to monetize these clicks in some way. Can someone provide a reference point? Is it worth growing, and if so, what is the target where something interesting could happen? Thanks!
- PaulHoule 5y agoGotta know what kind of content this is. If it's a programming blog or an anime image board you could have 20M impressions and make 50 cents a month. If you picked a topic at random from a list of topics you'd probably get one that monetizes pretty well. If you sampled a random person who's asking the question odds are they picked a topic which doesn't monetize well.
- kirillzubovsky 5y agoThanks! It’s a collection of podcast segments, where each audio bit is a response to a particular question. (SmashNotes.com) For example: “what is fever?” Answered by an actual doctor. Lots of interesting questions, but the topics are all over the place.
- PaulHoule 5y agoThat sounds very good but you have to have enough textual content that the ad engine can figure out what the page is about. (Because of pervasive privacy concerned I think behavioral targeted and user profiled based ads are going to decline in effectiveness.)
