How Much Does An Affiliate Site Getting Over 1,000,000 Visitor Makes

[AussieDave]

In the good old days, we were all making cash hand over fist, without really breaking a sweat.
Albeit the competition wasn't as fierce as it now. Social media wasn't a ranking factor and the Google zoo, wasn't on parade either.

As casinobonusguy stated, going the "super affiliate" route brings in more work (I'm guessing that means revenue) but also a % of that income goes to employee wages. At one point I had a heap of sites and ran them all myself. But that was in the "good old days". You could could set a 10 page site up and leave it. That doesn't work these days.

Myself, I'm happy making a regular 5 figure sum most months.
Once I take out business expenses, I'm far better off and earning far more in one month, than most people (in regular jobs) earn in three.

There comes a point, least in my opinion, when, if your relying on money to make you happy, then no matter how much you make wont change a thing!

5 figure a month? WOW! Nowhere near that number. But I also still find it very hard to get my traffic up. Maybe there isn't just more traffic for my niche.

We get traffic from 180 different countries each month, across three gambling verticals (sports / casino / poker), and it is very interesting to see the wide range of results depending on the readers geo-location, and what they hit our site to read.

So I say - it would depend a bit on the quality of the traffic (why they were visiting), the location of the visitors, and the effective monetisation of the website.

Livescore websites do achieve huge numbers, but most of the visitors simply want tot check scores (live or final) and are not looking to place a bet so average monetization per visit is way down.

Asian readers from Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam do not have the spending power and/or access to online funds and seem to prefer to bet in cash with local backstreet bookies ... so they will read but online monetisation is tough to achieve ... so earnings are down.

Readers from France, Turkey, Italy and Belgium DO have access to online funds, but governmental restrictions mean that very few places will take these players so often these readers also go unmonetized because the readers already have a legal account at a state sanctioned place and they won't be moving. So again - average monetization is down.

100K uniques per month could be worth $100,000 or it might be worth just $1,000 - it all depends on exactly what that traffic is - and why they visited.

Totally agree with Gooner (and others) that it depends on the type of traffic. Also it does not take nearly 1million relevant, unique visitors to make $100k/mth.
