How much you can make from Google AdSense depends on two simple factors – traffic and topic of your site. Think of how many time did you click online ads on the sites you browse through internet? Most probably you never did it or never remember. Google has a measurement called “Click Through Rate” or CTR to show you how much percentage of people really clicks on the ads on your site. In general, CTR of a site will be around 0.01 (1%) which means 1 out of every 100 user clicks on an ad which could vary broadly based on the topics of your site. The “Cost Per Click” or CPC shows the amount paid by Google for one click. The range varies from few cents to few dollars. As an average we can keep this CPC as $0.5 and most of the cases it will be even lower than this. For example, a site with online trading will obviously have lot of financial ads with high CPC whereas a site for cooking recipes may have ads with less CPC.

Is it Possible to Make $1000 per month from AdSense?
In order to earn $1000 per month you need to have a site with page impressions of 7000 per day. Does it look unrealistic? We don’t think. There are plenty of sites actually have more than this amount of traffic, CPC and CTR which essentially means they definitely make a handsome income. If you have a site with 1 million page views per month then you can earn approximately $5000 per month. Moreover, once approved you can place ads on any number of sites adhering to AdSense policies.
But for an individual publisher having a single site with limited traffic this is an unrealistic amount at the start. Over few years of time with traffic improving due to increased articles on your site, AdSense earnings will also start improving to a considerable level. For an individual publisher it may take more than 5 years to build a site getting 1 millions impressions per month. So it does not matter the penny you get today, it does matter following AdSense guidelines, having online presence for years and continuous content update to reach your targeted earnings.
