In terms of scale, how many people have to visit your website on a monthly basis to make $500 a month? $5,000? $500,000?

Just looking to get an idea...

LOTS ... :) I actually saw something about this a while back, and yeah you need HEAPS.
I had a site that was during over 500 000 impressions a month - was making $150 a month.

In the past week, I've had just on 1500 people visit my blog: http://www.studiowhiz.com & I've made $0 .. then again I did manage to get kicked off TextLinkAds

it depends on your niche and your business model. lets just say you are just throwing up google or yahoo ads.

i have a travel site and i need around 500 visitors a day to hit the 500 per month figure. it stays fairly consistent from that standpoint.

in terms of selling other items and whether or not you are selling a service, selling an info product from a direct sales page, etc. this will vary.

I had no idea the amount of traffic required to make any money on a site is as high as what I'm hearing.

I guess the consumer will eventually let you know by the amount of traffic your site recieves whether or not you actually have something of value.

Sean,

The answer is, it all depends.

If you have a subscription business, which charges $20.00 per month, and you have 100 subscribers, thats $2000.00/mo.

Therefore, 100 users generated $2000.00.

The question is, what is it your offering them, for them to go into their pockets and cough $20.00 per month?

Depends a lot I've seen a site with 100k unique vistors/month making about $100/month, I've seen 50k/unique visitors making $5000/month and I'm certain there are people with nuch less visitors making way more.

I think that if your not selling anything and lloking to make money from adsense or something similar the trick is to look for words/seaches that get high bids and then build good content around them. With some SEO should make you decent money with a reasonable ammount of traffic.

Just looking to get an idea...

If you had a site with just adsense and you made $0.20 per click, you can back calculate it.

Assume you have a 2% click through ratio, 2 out of 100 visitors click the ad. Then you need 5 clicks for $1, 500 clicks for $100, 2500 clicks for $500.

2500 X 100 / 2 = 125000 visitors.

So you would need 125,000 visitors per month or 4,000 visitors a day to make $500/mo.

Now you can fiddle with the click through ratio and $/click tailor it to your site.

I had a site on parking -on namedrive- (wich I sold last week) that had around 250-300 visits a day, from wich 50% clicked the ads. The site was making around 80usd per month. Consider that visitors were from latin america so clicks are worth a lot less (about 0.05 per click)

Throw all the speculative numbers out the window. You can't come even close to guessing accurately until you have real, first-hand, numbers to work with.

The internet is all about filtering and sorting traffic. I can send you 500,000 visitors who are worth less than $5, I can send you 5 visitors that are worth $500.

Things are basically broken down in to 2 categories -- user demographic/geographic location, and market. Figure these things out first by running tests, and then extrapolate on the data that you collect.
