I think your math is off. 150k daily uniques, at a conservative $0.01 CPM is about $1.5 a day.

- jacquesm 17y agoSorry for not being more clear. If you had to go and buy that kind of traffic you'd end up paying $1500 per day, that is its value. You can probably sell it for some multiple of that because 1ct per click is ridiculously low. So we're talking about at least half a million dollars per year here and probably substantially more, 100% pure profit, near 0 expenses. Here is a sample of the data of such a site: http://ww.com/adsense.png http://ww.com/adsense.png , these pages have three adsense tags on them, two with pretty good conversion, one a lot less (but still 3x better than the 'overal average' of all adsense tags that I run. 21,500 euros is roughly 30,000 dollars, 3 million impressions is also roughly 3 million uniques on sites like this, so figure dividide by 20 to get to 150K uniques, which is just about 1500 dollars per day. And that's just adsense, you can bet that people that live of this stuff tend to put a few more tags on those pages. The CTRs are ridiculously high because the user doesn't have much choice, they can either click an 'ad' or click 'back'. Not a very honorable business model though, but then again, would you say no to a free $0.5M per year ?
