What are good traffic levels?

There is no proper answer for this question. Decent levels of traffic depend firstly, on your expectations. How much money are you planning on making? Do you want $500 pm (per month) or $3000? Secondly, your chosen AdSense niche could limit the number of people that visit your site. For example, it may be that only seven hundred people search for information related to African grey parrots per month on search engines. In the event of this, seven hundred becomes your upper limit in relation to getting Search Engine traffic.

Thirdly, the behaviour of people at your sites, have a major impact on what could be considered decent levels of traffic. If you have extremely good click-through-rates (CTRs) let’s say 10% and you have reasonably low financial expectations (about 330 pm) and you have a AdSense website that contains average priced ads ($0.50) then you would be satisfied with traffic levels in the region of 200-350 or so impressions a day.

But if people are less inclined to click on your ads and you had a CTR of only 2% then you would need 1000 or so daily impressions to make the same amount of money per month. So, as you can see a number of different factors determines the levels of traffic required to make a website on AdSense success; the primary factor been your expectations…

  1. One thing that really lets adsense down is its reliance on so much traffic. You really need to have loads of people going through your website to make the scheme count. The people that really make loads of money from the scheme are those that have thousands of people passing through their sites everyday (i.e experienced webmasters or companies that have been doing internet stuff for ages).

  2. Good click through rates is the way forward. You can have really low levels of traffic but if you have ctrs around 10-20% you only need decent amounts of traffic to make reasonable adsense money.
