On average, how much money does a for-profit website (ad-supported, adsense-style if it matters) make per visitor?
I am sure it varies greatly, but I am wondering what the range will be.
I mean the mean, not the mode. The /average/ must be positive for most sucessful sites, or else they would be out of business.
Most visitors to most commercial websites do not generate any revenue at all. Indeed, many visitors who arrive from a sponsored link actually cost the website. A successful site has enough visitors who do actually buy something to compensate for the majority who don’t.

If it’s a content site where you put some adSense, Overture, NetWorldMedia or other ads, my own experience tells me you’ll get something like half a penny for every unique visitors.
That being said, if it’s a site where you find ONLY sponsored ads (or links), it’ll be paying more, like between 1 and 2 cents per visitors.

Hi Paul, here’s am excellent article by Marshall Brain, the founder of HowStuffWorks.com. Its titled ‘How much money can you make with a web site?’ and caters presicely to your question. Here’s the link :

And one more thing, don’t agree on buck247′s answer, if you study his answers, he is advertising for the company, and has submitted around 59 answers with the same content. Beware!

Hi Omoro,
I´ve tried alot of different ways to make money online over the past “painful” 2 years and theres alot of crap out there that just doesn´t work, it´s amazing how they can keep getting awy with it! Now after soooo many disappointments I´m using Data Entry Pro and it´s now making me money (finally!) online.
Anyway, basically you sign up with them and then once your logged in you just fill in as many forms as you like in their members section and you get paid for each one. I get checks from them every 2 weeks each averaging around $250-$350. You could make more but I just use the site as an extra income stream aswell as my full time job so I only work on it for around an hour each night.
You do have to be prepared to spend a little money though if you want to do anything online like this but it´s already been worth it for me.
Here`s the link you can get them at anyway -> http://www.protry.com
Hope this helps!
Goodluck,
Dave
