One of my other site is getting 2000 – 3000 hits per day. Of course, it is not real human hits. I have registered with many site monitoring sites and set to check my site for every 5 minutes / 10 minutes a day on the availability of this site. So, most of the hits coming from site monitoring spiders.
I’m talking about real hits of 1000 hits a day (4 figures). I have seen a similarities in traffic and earnings here. The communications between hits and earnings of your blog. Another way to look at your blog income and blog traffic. If you are receiving 2 figures traffic each day (10 – 99 visits to your blog each day), your income is limited to 2 figures too (US$10 – US$99). The blog revenue contributed by various income channels in your blog. Below is the summary:
10 – 99 visits a day contributes to $10 – $99 earnings per month
100 – 999 visits a day contributes to $100 – $999 earnings per month
1000 – 9999 visits a day contributes to $1,000 – $9,999 earnings per month
10000 – 99999 visits a day contributes to $10,000 – $99,999 earnings per month
To reach John Chow income level, we need to be in fourth level. Is that too far? I guess yes. How to move our blog traffic from 10 visits a day to 10,000 visits a day? This can be an interesting topic to discuss. But, I don’t know whether this is a possible / reachable target in a year.
The first two levels can be reached in your first month with the help of Entrecard alone (I’m getting about 250 – 300 visits a day from Entrecard). How to move to third level of traffic? This is my examinations now. This is another add on that I would like to do for another 30 days (including Myspace testing) I got a strong feeling that if we can hit the barrier of 1000 hits per day, then our blog income can be increased to 4 figures each month.
Let us start another interesting testing.
Interesting equation. I was looking for similar information and started a thread on sitepoint forums but didn’t get a satisfactory answer. Thanx a lot for the information.
cloudsters,
Yes it is. Recently, everyone write Mixture type of blog so that they can write about everything. Of course for long run, specific blogs gain more popularity but Mix type of blog could be a good beginning.
Ep,
Yeah, I think so. But, there are still so many things we can learn from John Chow also.
Julie,
Yes, I gotta agree with you. It is because everyone have their own steps of dropping styles. For example, 1st, return all the inbox drops. 2nd, Drop on all top 10 droppers on your site. 3rd, Drop on the site that runs your advertisement. 4th, Drop on their serious droppers list. At least 10 – 20% sites must be overlapped. So, we might have click the same site twice or more. This is common for a serious droppers.
Very interesting–If find with entre card the hits are more to get drops—what do you think?
Personally, i think problogger is much more better than John Chow..
Atniz, do update us on your testing results, will ya? Thanks luv..
It must surely be more or less achievable depending on the category into which your blog falls: Possibly, techie or how-to-monetise type blogs get more traffic, all things being equal, than – oh – parenting blogs (sigh).
James,
Yeah, I’m getting addicted to Problogger now. No more John Chow. I think Problogger already reached his 6 figure blog income very long time ago.
Interesting post and great idea. Problogger got more than 6 million traffic per month. So we should be abble to predict his blog income…:)
