Happy New Year Bloggers

Happy new year everyone I’m nursing one serious hangover this morning, drank way too much last night. Hope everyone had a good night last night, mine was fantastic went into town it was very quiet though. I remember when you couldn’t move when you went out on new years eve. Everyone tends to stay in or go to house parties these days.

In my last post I mentioned that I would be creating a blog which I would post to every single day to see would results it could yield come the end of 2009. This is one challenge I am going to try my best to stick to. I’m so glad I wrote and published two articles on the blog a few days ago. I’ve already got 4 pages indexed in google for the blog. So a small amount of traffic is coming through already.

Thinking about it most people could quit there day jobs if they had a blog bringing in 100 dollars a day. The blog I’m creating I’m going to monetize it with adsense at the beginning of the first month, in which time hopefully I will be getting around 100 unique visitors per day. With proper ad placement you should be able to get a Click through rate of around 10% but this can depend on many different factor, like the niche you are targeting. Because my blog is going to be about different subjects and niches I am going to look for a 5% CTR.

Okay let’s do some maths

To earn 100 dollars per day through adsense with a CTR of 5% at a average CPC of 0.10 cents. To achieve this we are going to need this many visitors each day to our blog.

1000 CLICKS 0.10 x 1000 = $100
1000 CLICKS 0F 5% OF 20,000

So our aim is to drive 20,000 visitors each month to our blog. This sounds quite an high number but you have to remember these numbers are just estimates you might get a lot more than 0.10 per click, which means you need less traffic to hit your target of $100 per day.

Happy New Year and Good Luck with your blog everyone!
