Big boards do not equal big revenue

Being a big board alone isn't enough, you need user activity, though usually the 2 are linked.

This.There are many factors to consider also:
And do not believe on website calculators
- Kind of Visitors
- Niche
- Content
- Ad Placement
- Others
There's so many factors which means big boards don't equal big revenue, but having a big board definitely increases your chances.

I didn't. I just ran a couple of dozans through websitecalculators. Different calculators that all say the same thijg. I know you can't rely completely on them but there are Some points that keep me thinking. Your board is on every calculator very profitable.

You might as well just create a random number generator to decide how much a site makes. That's about as accurate an automated revenue calculator is.I didn't.

For example, I just tried one you can actually validate against (publicly traded, so they report revenue).
Revenue for apple.com is $28,400,000 per year it says... actually they make $170,910,000,000 per year. So the calculator things it takes them a year to make what they earn in 1.4 minutes (24/7).
Point is, they are utter crap... and literally as accurate as a random number generator.

.PS: I'll tell you there's absolutely no relation to what traffic you get and how much you earn.
I don't think so.He makes much more

Still it has.
Eh? Of course they're directly correlated.
This is from our adsense account. One line is earnings, one is pageviews.

Well, I only meant that even the lower traffic websites can earn HUGE and there are lot of big websites that don't earn that well.

Of course those calculators can't work, as mentioned there are many variables, even with the right formula you'd need to input all variables.
Maybe you can take an AdSense average in a particular industry, then calculate the average against the unique monthly visitors. Obviously there are many ways large boards can create revenue outside of AdSense.

As @RobParker has noted, getting traffic is a good start. I found the following webinar very thought provoking: http://xenforo.com/community/thread...-driving-traffic-to-online-communities.66270/
