Someone once told me if you make anything below 25 cents per visitor on average, then you may have to rethink your business model.

I get 5.4 cents per visitor. So, I might have to rethink my strategy.

How about you?

It totally depends on how much traffic you get, what kind of traffic it is, and how much (if anything) you pay for it. I can tell you that if I earned 5c per visitor, I'd be writing this from my palace in Monaco.

Yeap, agree with jomaxx. I am making ~0.25 cents per visitor!

Super competitive areas can earn top ranked websites over $1.50 unique. These same sites that are ranking in the 20-50 will earn considerably less. Your mileage may vary but the non competitive areas tend to earn less unless you are in a niche market that has no compeitition.

@moltar

How do you do that? What do you use? Thanks.

This interests me as well, as I'm receiving on average of 1000 visitors to my site a day.

Which would equal to:

1000 visitors X .25 cents = $250 a day

But I'm making closer to $2 a day right now.

Do you mean $.25 cents per visitor on average from selling stuff?

Like $.25 cents per visitor is what it comes out to when averaging out 1000 visitors, say 50 buy something = $.25 per visit? Is that what you mean? Or something else...

Being this is in the "Advertising Sales and Affiliate Programs category" I'm curious if it's from ad's or from sales, cause if just from ad's if your averaging $.25 cents a visit, I need to check this out! ;)

Ok here's an example...

When I get about 1k visitor a day, my revenue is close to nothing... more like $300 A MONTH. Calculation on profit per visitor would be trivial at that time. Now that my site receives 6k visitor a day, my revenue is close to about $300 a day.

Your earning per visitor increases somewhat proportional to your site traffic... As your site grows, the overall value grows... You get more lucative partnerships only if your site has significant amount of traffic to lure companies.

PFOnline, what site do you run?

Notice: it is not 25 cents. it's 0.25 cent (quarter or a cent) per visitor :)

I am making $ only from adsense. I do not sell anything. There are not that many ads in my area and most of them are pretty much the same...

Average for the last 6 months is currently running at 13.45 cents per visitor. I would love to see that 25 cents per visitor.....either I'm doing something very wrong or that figure is way to high.

I have conservatively 60,000+ number one positions in both Google and Ink, millions of page one terms, and sell products that are very expensive (high value)....25 cents per visitor sounds unachievable to me.....but I would love to hear from someone that does it on a large scale purely from SE promotion :)

I can't see how you can get a ballpark figure for this. Clearly the figures are going to vary wildy from if you are selling a common product, unique product, or just reaping affiliate fees.

I run a subscription site where punters pay a monthly fee so this is again different to the type of sales sites listed above.

If I divide the total sales per month / number of visitors per month I get 24 cents to 28 cents per visitor.

But how many of those visitors are actual subscribers and how many of those visitors are new punters?

This is why the figures are flawed and I have no way of knowing the true sales / visitor figure. All I know is that sales is directly proportional to visitor count.

The other problem is that old bugbear of AOL assigning the same user a different IP address throughout a session thus looking like x different visitors; proxy servers making dozens of unique visitors look like one; and dhcp assigning the same physical person a different IP address each day thus looking like 30 different visitors in september.

We have affiliates who average $0.001 per visitor to affiliates making $5.00 per visitor.

It all depends on your site and traffic.

irock, is it possible you have repeat visitors that have seen your ads and are now used to them and where they are positioned?
