how many page views i need to earn $5000 per month from ads?
ankeshk: Here is a point to remember: the less popular your website, the lower your CPM average will be.If you only attract 1,000 unique visitors - your CPM maybe well under $1.  But if you cross 20,000 or 50,000 visitors - your CPM could go as high as $2 to $5.  (I've seen websites earn $10 per CPM too - but that is very rare.)Most money in selling ads is made if you sell the ads privately.  Without allowing Google or anyone else to take a big hefty cut.But you won't be able to sell out all your inventory on your own if you're not already popular.Anyhow - general rule of thumb: if a website can cross over the half a million visitors mark - he can make $5,000 from ads per month.  (6 ads per page at $2 CPM on average.)So aim for 500,000 visitors per month.
