We just had this conversation this morning at our weekly staff meeting, where we were reviewing analytics on our blog and traffic counts, sources, etc. Everyone was much more interested in length of time on the site and page views, not so focused on number of visits. Bottom line - is the blog (or website) accomplishing the marketing goal? Who ever listed web traffic counts as a marketing goal? (Rhetorical question I guess). You are so right, Aaron.

His monthly earnings = US $20k -25k Actually it all depends on how effectively and page centered monetization has been done.

Unique visitors doesn't mean anything unless we push them to a specific action on our site. It also depends on the niche market your blog is about.For some niche markets, visitors come on your site for a specific action and it is easy to forecast what you can earn from your blog. I fully agree.

That is why landing pages are so important. You need to set it up so that if you are running CPC on your site the visitors will do what you direct them to do. I couldn’t agree more.
