Thx for any information.
I get about 125k visits a day about 1,000 unique people a day
This is confusing. 125.000 or 1.000?
Let's assume 1000. 5 page views per visitors and $2 CPM makes $10 a day.
But consider, based on the confusing input and the wide range of possible performance, I could be total wrong.
THat is very strange for me. How long does your visitor stay at your site? It doesnt make sense to me. Anyways, from 1k unique and gaming field, i guess you can have an average of 10-20 per day.
If anyone knows a better stat catcher that I can install personally I would be happy to use it because I don't know how accurate this one is. I think these page views also count the forum I have is probably why page views per user is so high.
Its not just a forum....The main part of the site is the actual site itself, but I have a forum with about 600members and most don't even post actually hardly any of them do heh. Forum says i get on average of 63 posts a day, but i guess thats alright i dunno.
All the main information they find is on the site.
I have signed up for adsense before and never activated because I seen it required tax info and I never done that stuff before. So I know I will get approved.
Withoug all the log files to download
for own evaluation, You are lost.
I have now about 60 GB log files.
When I have a new idea how to evaluate a certain trend, I could check it in all my log files from 1997 to 2005
Well for the price and the host reliablity this is the only host I can use. I use about 200gb transfer a month on my site. and I can get that for $20 a month cheapest I could find and its a very reliable host.
You state 30.000 visitors
You state 200 GB
makes 6,66 MB per visitor.
My average, no downloads, large pictures is 300 kB per visitor.
Do You have big downloads?
I think Your numbers do not match together.
Without accurate data nobody can give a guestimate. And that's all it would be anyway.
What I don't understand is why are you asking how much you will make when it is just as easy to sign up for adsense and give it a spin in the real world? Surely the fear of having to pay taxes on profits is not a genuine deterrent?
He really bleived to have 4 million visitors a month.
I told him, that according to the Alexa data of his web site, I think it's more 5.000 to 25.000 visitors a month.
After this, he wrote about 10.000 users a month.
The discussion started after he wrote do have been disabled from AdSense.
He wrote to have several hundred $ after 2 weeks until he was disabled.
I thought maybe artificial activities in the statistic, which made him belive to have 4 million visitors.
Same symptoms here. Numbers which absolut not match together.
I would not risk to try AdSense on this hosting, because it could happen the same like to the owner of this German game site.
You may be right , 125K is possible but it is not at all only .htm or .asp pages, the over all total 125K will surely include .gif and .jpg files , thatswhy you are getting that total.
Upto my expereince 1:10 is the maximum.
That is your page views schould be only maximum 10000 per day.
find your .htm or .html or .asp ... files data in your web stats and divide it with 30 or 31 days.
good luck
my site prints about 100,000 pages per day, but i get around 6,000-7,000 unique visits
We received 185,000 page views with 6,050 unique visitors
My adsense ad views were showing 75,865 for today
1,000 unique people a day suggests 30,000 unique people a month. Otherwise why say 1,000 unique people a day?
Sorry, your figures just don't add up. This thread is wasting people's time.
Geez - impressive stats. Do you use AdWords to drive in traffic, or...?
We were making a living off AdSense 'til the Bourbon update. Live and learn, we didn't diversify fast enough.
I'd be worried if I relied on it as my sole source of income, due to the horror stories of those who've been kicked out, not to mention things like finding health insurance, etc. on your own and the costs therein. But obviously some people on here have taken the plunge and are doing great with them. I commend them for both their success and for having the courage to go "all in" with it.
1000 uniques a day, 125,000 page views. Seems that your stats program is counting images(etc.) as impressions. Visitors to image laden pages will give you inflated numbers. Say, an image gallery with 50 thumbnails per page could produce the inaccurate stats you are talking about, for example. They'd really only be visiting 2.5 pages each. Pages with actual games that cause your pages to reload as folks are playing can also give you inflated numbers like the ones you mentioned.
Gaming sites, in my experience, will give you a CTR of less than 1% and an EPC under 10 cents. So, for 1000 visitors... don't quit your day job just yet or worry about having to pay much, if anything, in taxes... after you deduct expenses.
I "work for" Google full time. My idea of diversifying is offering more pages for Google to work their magic on. I can't think of a better company to "work for". Sure, I worry about "getting fired"(account disabled), but not any more than I would with any other job. I cross my t's and dot my i's... and hope Google appreciates my work as much as I appreciate them.
Yesterday's stats
5300 unique's, 38,979 ad impressions. Roughly 70,000 pages served (the counters a bit off for a variety of reasons).
We were making a great living off it, until May 21. But of course, we'll be starting new projects, working to make our way again.
Everyone says it, but let me reiterate it anyway. DON'T depend on any one thing for all your income... whether its a salary or AdSense.
I installed a shrine in my spare bedroom to facilitate the positive vibes of the worshipping a Google Mug on a pedestal, and there's incense and a little gong next to it. We chant our mantra sitting on a wicker mat in a yoga position for one hour every day!
Chant with me now:
"AAAAH PAAH TUM EEEE ZAAAY SHUN ooommmm AAAAH PAAH TUM EEEE ZAAAAY SHUN ooommmm"
WHOA! I've reached enlightenment now, I'm seeing a vision, a vision of Ben Franklin and he's trying to tell me something, he's faintly whispering, I can barely make it out, he's saying I can achieve 2 US Mint editions of his portait daily if I believe and YES! I BELIEVE!
Whew! That was some awesome shrooms!
OK, back to work.
