What do you consider the minimum visitors for adsense?

[naitsirhc26]

What do you think I should be getting in terms of unique visitors before I add adsense to my site?

[Alioc]

2+ :)

[BeeDeeDubbleU]

It very much depends on your page content and value of the clicks. Ten clicks per day at a dollar a click would be worthwhile but if you are earning one cent per click well ...

[naitsirhc26]

Well, my site is a web design help site. I am talking about if people could mess with the system with a small amount of visitors.

[Richie0x]

I would say about 150 unique visits per day.

Depends on what your objective is.

If you are setting out to make a profit then you need lots of page views so that the CTR averages out.

If you just want to offset some of your hosting costs then just go for it but CTR will be far more eratic.

[naitsirhc26]

Yeah, I just want to offset hosting costs, and it would be nice if I started making more when I get more visitors. I get a little less than 100 unique visitors per day, and I think I will wait untill I start getting a little more than that. Probably a solid 100 visitors every day. Thanks for the input.

[naitsirhc26]

Anyone else?

I have quite a few small niche sites that get only about 20~50 page impressions per day yet earn between $10~50 per month each.

It depends on the sector and quality of visitor etc.

I would say about 150 unique visits per day.

Yeah, I'll agree on that one - 150 uniques would let you pay off hosting + domain.

300 uniques a day would provide the hosting domain and also a small marketing budget to get more uniques.

The main thing to be careful about is to ensure you dont overflow the content with ads when you do implement the adsense.

Less is more.

I had been over 250 per day in uniques, then I dropped out of google ... it may have been doing an update as my site is quite new ( launched in may), I briefly appeared in the first page for a couple of terms and just disappeared.

I get a trickle of google traffic daily but have no idea how people are finding my site as all terms I checked for basically have it lower than I would normally look. Msn has taken over as the main provider but it is just over 50 uniques per day.

At the minute I am just covering my hosting costs, but as it is low traffic it is somtimes the case where I get very low revenue from a few clicks, and then other times just enough to cover hosting from almost no clicks. (dont want to reveal actual numbers of anything so generalising it).

I am hoping that the reason why I am not ranking as high as I wished for in google is that my site is new - however, many sites that scrape my content outrank me on several search terms and that is worrying... using my content and gaining priority over me - they use rel="nofollow" and I am hoping that google are not categorising my site as a spam site due to these scraper sites stealing my content and labelling my site as an untrustworthy site.

I get no answers from google, but seriously hoping it is just that my site is new and that I will rise up rankings naturally as I spent 3 months+ writing the content, deisgning the site by hand & restyling the site... I dont want to be getting penalised for hard work, while other sites scrape my content and get rewarded for my work.

In summary, you could try out one style of ad per week while your traffic grows, it may not give enough information to see what truely works, but may give you some indication on what could work... and so using the time as trial and error will enable you to better monetize your website as traffic grows. (that is what I am doing at the minute basically, waiting, and hoping the site is not under any penalty apart from being new as I followed google guidelines to the dot).

I would say 50-100 uniques per day.

[mlduclos]

In my experience, to make a reasonable amount, you need about 2000 uniques a day. This will generate about 100 dolars/month.

Thanks
