I am currently in the process of buying a website out and I want to know how much revenue should I expect if the CTR on there site is 5% supposedly.

I heard this is not even possible maybe I am heard wrong. I just need a rough esimate on what they could be making.

They have an average of 4,000 - 9,000 unique visitors per month.

If there is any other information you need to figure it out let me know.

This is what the owner wrote to me

" If you advertised your products vi banner ads, etc.. with a click through rate of just 5%, at .10 per click you'd save over $900/year.
Assuming you could find another website with a 5% click through at only .10/per click. "

5% is quite achievable, but I'd try to get some independant reporting of the actual traffic and earnings level of the site. AdSense stats, Google Analytics, site logs, etc.

That's like asking How high is up. You should take a lot of other parameters in perspective.

Simple math: average 6,500 visitors. If they see on average 5 pages per user you have maybe 33,000 page views per month. If you put adSense on every page and will get eCPM of $3.00 you are looking at about $100/month from adsense. If you want your money back in 2 years the website is worth of $2,400 (24month x $100). Since you cannot trust them and the page views can be less than 5 pages per user I wouldn’t pay more than $1,200 for this website.
