mr x:You nailed it. The best method for really making money on your traffic is to contact the advertisers directly. I’m giving PW a month to perform for me and we’ll see what happens. Right now, I am probably spending more than I’m making, with about 500 ads placed on PW. My traffic on this blog is up to around 4,000 visitors per day, and I’m hoping this campaign drives it much higher, but we’ll see.

My 2 sites get 4 million pageviews per month (and got over 5 million in some top months), and still, publicity doesnt make almost any money out of that (about 200 dollars a month)

So its seems that if you go with adsense, project wonderful and such, and according to your numbers, my numbers and other numbers I’ve seen around, you’re expected to make about 50 dollars per million pageviews. Which completely sucks… 1 million pageviews per month worths way more than that!. This might be improved a bit by adding more publicity spaces, but then the pages would get too cluttered with publicity, and the extra income doesnt worth it.

Probably the way to go is to somehow get direct contact with potential advertisers, but then, your site content has to be very well targeted.

Eddie: Less than my $99/month server bill. I shouldn’t be giving away $100 here and there. Technically, I’m losing money blogging. =)

Do keep us posted about your rendevzous with JC. It is impossible to believe that 1.8M monthly traffic that don’t give ‘much’ dough? How much is that ‘much’ are you talking about? Don’t be humble now :)

Nhuong Son and mikster: Thanks. I hope I get it, too. I had a dream the other night that my wife and I were having food with John Chow, but it was in a mall food court, of all places.

Best of luck on this. And on a completely different note I see your advert through entrecard is on my site. I hope you get some decent traffic over the next 24 hours from it. Have a super weekend! mikster's last blog post..Deserving?
