how many visitors per day are needed to make adsense ads worthwhile?

Question

If you have a website that has a constant traffic flow, and you want to monetize the traffic with adsense ads is there a rule of thumb that would determine how many visitors you need per day to make it worthwhile.

Are we talking 100, 1000 or 100,000 visitors per day?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Ok... so the answer depends on how much money makes it worthwhile.

Here is how you do the math.

Figure that a well designed website going after a good niche will get push between 2% and 5% of visitors to AdSense.

So, on average, 1,000 visitors a day may yield 40 clicks through to your adsense.

Then, the question is how much will you make per click? That depends on the niche you are targeting. If you target a niche in the financial services sector for services that generation hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales, you will make more per click than if you target keywords related to scrap-booking.

So, let's say that you target an average niche that you can make 10 cents per click on.

That 1,000 visitor per day site, generating 40 clicks to adsense a date, makes you $4.00 per day, or $120/month.

Is that worth your effort?

No?

Maybe $1,200/month is more worth your effort?

If so, you need 10,000 visitors per day.

$1,200 is worth my effort, but $120/month is not... so to answer your question:

On average, and with many assumptions included, you need 10,000 visitors per day to make AdSense worthwhile.

My friend,,
That really does depend on a number of factors:

CTR - Real important because this number controls how much you make (IMHO). Many feel that traffic to your site is the main key to your site's earning power and that is true to a certain extent. For example, 100 visitors a day to your site sounds good but not if the CTR is 3% (3 clicks), especially when compared to a site that gets 50 visitors a day but has a CTR of 30% (15 clicks). All things being equal I prefer a site with a high CTR because once you have that then you can focus on getting more traffic to the site.

Traffic - This is a close second to me because once you know that your site can achieve a good CTR then increasing the traffic to that site should become a major priority.

Payment of Clicks - Naturally, more is better when it comes to click payouts. Because I generally focus on niches that pay out well I have always been pleased with my payouts. Once you can get an idea for what 1 click pays on yoru site you can then start to compute how much you can earn based on an increase in yoru CTR and/or your traffic. This is probably the most inflexiable of the variables because it's difficult to control (you can't force an advertisor to pay more then they do). However, you can influence what Google will pay you (smart pricing..etc). I believe that a site with a good PR and some history behind it (meaning having been online for a good amount of time) will earn more then a brand new site.

If you can get a rough estimate of what a click is paying on your site then you can obtain an idea of how many articles need to be submitted. Let's say your site pays out 5 cents a click. To earn $1 from that site each day you would need 20 clicks. Now the CTR factor comes into play because if it's relatively low you will need to have more traffic, if the CTR is high then less traffic is needed to make the $1. However, one thing remains constant, at 5 cents a click at least 20 clicks is needed to obtain the $1.

There is probably some mathematical computation you could use where you plug in the CTR, traffic generated, click payout to determine the number of submitted articles needed but sadly I don't know it.

Here is what I do know, once you get your site to an earnings point that you're happy with ($1 a day, $2 a day or $5 a day) I have found that adding 1 new article on the site and 1 new article submitted each week will keep that earnings at the current level or increase it. In fact 1 new article submitted every 2 weeks and 1 new page a month on a website has proven successful for me in terms of maintaining my earnings from that particular website.

Keep in mind that if you have a site making $1 day that's $30 a month - doesn't sound like alot but what if you have 100 sites that make $1 a day - now you have $3000 a month in earnings.

I personally have over 150 websites online with some making as much as $20 a day. The reality is that it's possible to make 5 figures a month just from adsense alone.

I wrote a very popular report which I give away fro free (no email or opt-in required) at http://www.articlestrategies.com that talks about how I built a 5 figure a month business from nothiing but free article submissions. Most of my income comes from adsense.

Like I said the information is free and it has helped many people significantly increase their adsense earnings.

Best of luck,

There's really no set # of visitors to make adsense ads worthwhile other than not having any traffic.

Many factors are involved in Adsense ads: placement, visitors, clickthrus, cost per keyword, etc.

You can make money with 100 visitors or 1000 visitors it all depends on the website and what your visitors are looking for.

Answer 4

i think it is the rule of trial and error rather than the rule of a thumb that matters.
There are plenty of variables to consider
- how well is optimized your text structure in terms of encouraging clicks? Is it just a plain text information or it is well structured mix of informational text plus 'tickle effect' words that support ads for any related tools that eventually will help readers to achive what they are looking for.
- what is the profile of your visitors? Are they just landing by accident on your page or they actually browse inside your site?
- how much have advertisers paid to get their ads on your website? usually you will receive 50% or less than what they have paid.
- how much do you want to earn from it? 'worth-it' has different meanings in Dubai and Bombai.

Good Luck
