Of all the startups/websites that use Google Adsense as their main revenue model (according to <a href="http://www.bizak.com" rel="nofollow">Bizak.com</a>) their earnings per visitor (EPV) is just $0.06. That's not what they earn per click but rather based on the number of visitors they have. In order to make $1,000/month they need over 16,000 monthly visitors - not an easy feat. Better to monetize with services ($1.67 EPV) and/or subscriptions ($1.02 EPV). Even with these poor earnings 22% of startups/websites rely on Adsense as their main revenue source. 17% services and 8% subscriptions.

I wonder if these numbers are still the same after the last Google Update. Dexter, we all started somewhere. $2 a day is a good start.

None of the blogs I write for have your alexa ranking and the owners are expecting at least 6 figures for each. But, I suppose you're just high on Alexa and real unique traffic is quite low... based on your page views. The only blog I know who sold well was Ensight, and the owner get to continue writing it. which makes it a case of selling your cake for a fortune and getting to eat it too.

They bring in traffic but usually they can't maximize on it. Take malls for example. Lots of traffic and lots of conversion, i.e. lots money going into the stores. Blogs don't have this earning power. And you can't really sell blogs. Any thoughts about this? Blogs aren’t really good internet business models, are they.

Keep in mind that no Adsense top earner will divulge their income. The reason for this is the same in any human endeavor. Human nature and economics dictate that the upper strata don't divulge their class. In other words, the rich don't need to tell you he's rich, he doesn't need to prove to you that he is, because he is secure of his position.

Yeah, but do they pay taxes? Anyway, I've been asking around for someone who knows how to monetize a blog. One blog I write for gets about 4k unique visitors a day. I need to get more money flowing in for this traffic. Know anyone and how much will it cost? Marhgil. Yeah, but do they pay taxes?
