One guy says you need a million hits before you make $1,000 in AdSense. Well thank goodness that's not the case or I would have quit a long time ago! LOL
Yep that is untrue. But to reach those fugures, you need loots of traffic and high click per earnings.

I did some calculations with my stats and what i have been hearing from other people that the average click per earning is usually between $.10 - $.30. So, to earn $100,000 a year, you need 1 million hits averaging at $.10 a click.

The average ctr is usually between 1-2% (mine is between that). So, to get 1 million hits a year, you need 100 million pageviews. In my opinion that might be hard to achieve for even any top niche content site (unless you're a big news site like bbc)

Now, i personally think this guy had way much higher CTR than 1%-2% and way high click per earning than $.10 to reach those numbers.

What do you guys think?
