Adsense income as a function of Alexa ranking

[a1call]

Hi,

I would like to start a survey as a road map to see how much traffic you need to generate x amount of AS revenue. I think we could all benefit from such data.

Please provide the following:
* Average daily AS revenue per site
* Alexa ranking for that site rounded to the closest 100

Well, lets start with Google

* Average daily AS revenue per site - $1,5000,000
* Alexa ranking for that site rounded to the closest 100 - 3

Hi novice,
Thank you for the reply. The rounded number to the closest 100 though would be 0, I think.

Here are my data:

Average daily revenue: $0.52
Closest 100 Alexa rank 100k

I expect to see a logarithmic relationship with the top 1000 sites earning the majority of the revenue.

The alexa ranking thing has been discussed before... apparently there isn't much relationship. for instance my monthly revenue is 1/3 of my alexa ranking. Do I make a lot or a little?

When I look on the Alexa stats of my site, I can see exactly when I was on vacation.

Visiting my sites by my self has a great effect on the Alexa stats.

So a rool is:

A site can not be better than the Alexa results,
but a site can be far worth.

One of my clients has a real estate web site. He installed the Alexa toolbar on 4 computers in his office and made it to a rank around 50.000

Hi jetteroheller,

Thank you for your reply. I don't have Alexa toolbar myself because the yahoo toolbar declares it as spyware or something. I see the point now. I think we can collectively agree to let this thread sink.

Alexa ranking doesn't have anything to do with adsense. Alexa ranking is based completely on the Alexa toolbar. I've tried this experiment on three new websites with zero traffic. Simply install the Alexa toolbar (make sure to unblock spyware on your computer)and visit the site once a day. I was able to bring all sites with zero outside visitors down to under 40,000 in Alexa ranking in three months. Once I realized Alexa is a complete fluke i stopped looking at my rankings...it's ridiculous. Try it for yourself.

Alexa ranking is irrelevant to google traffic.

Ad placement, ad value, smart pricing and geographic location of visitors are all factors in pricing that aren't measurable by alexa ranking.

Alexa ranking is a terrible way to gauge traffic, in any case. Webmasterworld is in the top 1000, but is obviously not one of the 1000 most visited websites online.

Webmasterworld is in the top 1000, but is obviously not one of the 1000 most visited websites online.

It's far more likely, that a web professional has the Alexa toolvar than the reader of all this "computer magazines" creating fear from all this spy ware.

Most funny experience with the toolbar:

An owner of a dating web site contacted my internet promotion company for SEO.

I visited his site and found in the impressum a visitor statistic absolut not matching his Alexa stats.

So I wrote him back

"With all my experiences as a SEO, we can improve the site so much, that You will reach in 6 month the statistics, You already claim in Your impressum"

I got no contract, but the statistic disappeared.

I think this might work only for sites in the top 10,000.
I also see my Alexa stats are affected very heavely for me alone.

Average daily revenue: $80.00
Closest 100 Alexa rank 140,000

(Look above for someone making pennies in a similar Alexa position.)
