Ask HN: What level of traffic do you need for ad sales?
Anyone have any insight into the level of traffic your site needs before you can make decent money on advertising?
If you had a vertically focused site, say on video games http://www.quicksavegames.com, how many thousand visitors a month do you need to make $5000 on advertising? Is it 10k, 50k, 100k?
- noodle 17y agodepends on your definition of "decent money", as well as a lot of other factors. the short answer, though, is however much traffic it takes for you to convince someone to pay you what you want.
- Readmore 17y agoYeah I understand that. What I'm asking is if anyone has any experience with ad sales and could share their insight into it.
- noodle 17y agoyou'll very likely be able to find success at $1 CPM or an equivalent. depending on the site, you could bump that up pretty far, but its a good starting point to test the waters.
