We operate a plethora of sites. Some are updated a dozen times a day, some once a year.
The sites that generate the most amazing ROI are usually the ones that are most targeted. For example, we have a rarely updated site based loosely on finance. Today it generated a pithy 28 pageviews. The earnings for today: $18.18.
While that was a super-freak earnings there, the site averages a CPM above $100 (both this month and lifetime – it has been around since early 2005).
Don’t pass on something just because it doesn’t have the potential for 10 million pageviews. You can get by with 1000 sometimes.

Eine Seite über Finanzthemen soll mit 28 Seitenaufrufen an einem Tag 18,18 Dollar erwirtschaften. Womit jener anhaltende Hype widerlegt wäre, dass nur mit Traffic und noch mehr Traffic (und seichten, billigen Inhalten) im Web Geld zu erwirtschaften sei. [...]
