Just go ahead and guess $0 cpm. You won't be far off.

  Why is this being upmodded? I guess it's funny if you don't have a clue how to make money with advertising... CPM rates vary massively with sector. Try it out and see what sort of rates you get, I don't think you can estimate these sorts of things well. I run a 'free stuff and competition' website, and that typically gets $5-$10cpm. For a finance or gambling site, probably multiply that by 10. For a social network site probably divide by 10-20. Also remember adsense is only one form of advertising, which works well on some sites, not so well on others. You can often get better payouts going for per lead or per sale affiliate programs.

    How good of an answer can you give to someone who asks for a revenue estimate for advertising without telling you anything else at all? He either doesn't understand any of the relevant factors, in which case it's laughable, or he's for some reason not sharing them, which is begging for nonsense in reply. Given that he's trying to do "revenue estimates" in this manner, I'd guess the former.

      Ah perhaps I was reading too much into your post then. I thought you were suggesting ad-supported isn't a viable model or something ;) I agree, the original question is extremely vague, and hints at some naivety... If the revenue estimates are for a business plan, or to show investors, may be best for him to step away from the computer and stop now.

      He wasn't asking us to tell him how much he would make in advertising on his site. He was asking us for resources online that he could read/research/utilize so that he could make the estimate himself.
