AudioSchematics.dk is from Jan 11, 2010. For many years the free schematic download was available from www.MicroSonic.dk which meant that I had two kinds of traffic on my studio site. So I decided to extract the downloads and make them available on AudioSchematics.dk.
The first month I did not think commercial thoughts about this but I ‘discovered’ Google AdSense at that time so I started eksperimenting with ads and March 1. I earned almost 1 dollar! This was a huge day! My first self made online money!
Now – before any one gets totally excited I will show you this ‘Get Real’ practice. It seems like a Click Thru Rate on 2% is a very common average. 2% of the visitors click on an add. Some get a higher CTR and some a lower. And in the beginning it will most often be low. The payout for one click varies a lot but for the sake of easyness lets say one dollar. None of my clicks has paid that much but let’s go ahead anyway.
Revealing CTR is against Adsense TOS so I can’t do that but everybody starts at zero. Here are some calculations:
CTR: 0.5 – 100 visitors/ay – 1 dollar/click = 0.5$/day
CTR: 0.5 – 1.000 visitors/ay – 1 dollar/click = 5$/day
CTR: 0.5 – 10.000 visitors/ay – 1 dollar/click = 50$/day
CTR: 0.5 – 100.000 visitors/ay – 1 dollar/click = 500.$/day
Shocking!!! With a CTR at 0.2 we need at least 100.000 visitors every day just to make a decent income. Here is the same calculation with a CTR at 1:
CTR: 1.0 – 100 visitors/ay – 1 dollar/click = 1$/day
CTR: 1.0 – 1000 visitors/ay – 1 dollar/click = 10$/day
CTR: 1.0 – 10.000 visitors/ay – 1 dollar/click = 100$/day
CTR: 1.0 – 100.000 visitors/ay – 1 dollar/click = 1000$/day
And an average CTR:
CTR: 2.0 – 100 visitors/ay – 1 dollar/click = 2$/day
CTR: 2.0 – 1000 visitors/ay – 1 dollar/click = 20$/day
CTR: 2.0 – 10.000 visitors/ay – 1 dollar/click = 200$/day
CTR: 2.0 – 100.000 visitors/ay – 1 dollar/click = 2000$/day
And a good CTR:
CTR: 5.0 – 100 visitors/ay – 1 dollar/click = 5$/day
CTR: 5.0 – 1000 visitors/ay – 1 dollar/click = 50$/day
CTR: 5.0 – 10.000 visitors/ay – 1 dollar/click = 500$/day
CTR: 5.0 – 100.000 visitors/ay – 1 dollar/click = 5000$/day
