Are you big or small publisher?

[cocacolafun]

I am just wondering what google would call a small publisher and a large publisher.

Very Large = +1000$ per day
Large = 500$-1000$ per day
Medium = 100$-500$ per day
Small = 50$-100$ per day
Very Small = -50$ per day

Do you think I am close or far from the reality?

[jbayabas]

I think 100$-500$ per day is already "large".

[abbeyvet]

Very Small = -50$ per day

I think you'd be surprised by the number of AdSense publishers who are happy to reach the point of getting paid monthly.

[Genuine1]

You do?

Doesent this need to take into account all the arb sites some of which make a fortune and talk about telephone numbers and some of which spend almost as much as they get earnings?

A 999 dollar a day guy would be a fairly big earner if he didnt spend 998 to get it?

And how do companies with many employees to pay fit in?

Personally I am medium but without knowing the above and other expenses its meaningless.

True ... but the question was more how google sees you.

In my case, for google, I think I am small. (50$-100$)

[netmeg]

Some days I'm medium, and some days I'm small, and some days I'm very small, and some days I'm eety beety beety beety tiny, and some days I don't exist.

*poof*

not really sure I see the point of the question

[jatar_k]

I am guessing that G would look at it from a traffic standpoint, while factoring in market and clicks

I don't think earnings alone classifies you as anything

[JonSimmonds]

by that I'm a small publisher, but for me my target is to use adsense to enable my hobby site to cover its costs and to maintain it as a free community to my members, somethings are more important than money.

I have a feeling that a large number of publishers, perhaps the vast majority of them, are in the $0 - $5 a day range.

That's a question for Google, but I'd imagine that a "large publisher" or "very large publisher" would meet Google's minimum level of traffic for "premium publisher" status (which normally means at least 20 million page views per day).

[greatstart]

I'm in this category - Very Small = -50$ per day

I always thought it was somewhere in the middle range.

[AussieWebmaster]

lol.... $500 a day is not large.

[BigDave]

At 310 pounds, I'm pretty sure anyone at google that sees me would consider me one of the larger publishers.

[sailorjwd]

I'm close to you BigDave at 308.

I can really throw my weight around... but not on the internet.

And there goes that guy with the silly hat saying 'That's a question for Google'. Speak to the hand or I'll sit on you.

[Thez]

Currently in the medium range. New website done soon, I'm expecting to hit the large section within a year.

Very Large = +1000$ per day

I'm with Genuine1, it's the nett earnings which count. I know several publishers earning in excess of USD 1,000 per day but after all expenses some are doing well to clear USD 100.

Most of the posters here are not the mega corps with multi-million page views per day therefore you'll never get a real view of what's going on however I seem to remember a thread about 2-3 years ago in which anyone netting USD 100+ per day was considered very successful.

You only have to consider that Google used to believe that USD 10,000 per month was considered important enough for cheques to be sent by UPS and that equates to USD 333.00 per day.

[Genuine1]

And I never got one! Well by UPS anyway...

At Commission Junction, a few hundred dollars a month will get you into the top tier of affiliates. I'd guess that anyone earning four figures per month from AdSense is in a high percentile, and anyone earning five figures is in very select company.
