Trying to estimate my AdSense earnings

by Taylor Stewart G
6 replies
I have a site in the pet bird niche that gets about 300 unique visitors a day right now. It's not approved by AdSense, because it doesn't have sufficient content. It has two really long pages. How many pages do I have to have for it to get approved? Or, it just because I have blank pages?

How much could I expect to make on AdSense per day with this if it was approved?

I also have a bodybuilding website I want to try to build, as well as a cat site.

What kind of CPC could I expect on these niches? Do people make money in AdSense anymore?

I need solid information before I invest a lot of money.

    You used to be able to swag (Scientific Wild Ass Guess) a CPC before Google uncoupled the search and display networks. Adsense paid ~60% back to the publisher.

    They still do, but bid prices on the content network seem to be a fraction of those on the search network.

    From what I've read, ads on the content network (Adsense) tend to be about 10% of those on the main search network.

    So,if G shows $1.00 CPC on the search network, you can swag a $0.10 CPC on the content network, with a net of about $0.06.

    Continuing to swag, if you could get a wildly optimistic CTR of 10%, your 300 uniques would generate 30 clicks, which at 6 cents each would be $1.80.

    1% is a more realistic clickthrough, so figure on about $0.18 per day.

    So, once a month you could buy yourself a drink at the beach. IF you skip the umbrella drinks and settle for low end draft beer.

    I think you could probably make more money with your own ads. If you went to clickbank or amazon and set up an affiliate account, I bet you could find some high converting offers and then place banners on your site. The adsense money is small percentages from what I understand. You could make 15-20 dollars per sale instead of 1 or 2 cents per click.

    I'm wary of AdSense as I've recently been targeted by clickbots (see my scary thread in the ad networks sub-forum).

    So I would look around for affiliate schemes in related niches. You could make much more from these as well.

    Or have bigger ambitions and source some OEM products you could use to build a brand of pet supplies.

    To get Adsense you have to add few more content to your site. If you website have quality content than google also serve high quality ads on your site which will give you few bucks extra. Add more content and than apply for Google adsense.
