I feel like I should definitly know the answer to this question but whatever...
How much traffic do I need to make AdSense profitable? I mean in the range of like 1000$ a month or it wouldnt be worth my time.
Basically one of my hobbies is very popular but there are almost no resources out there at all about it. Just like two major sites and a couple major publications. I definitly feel like frontpage on google wouldnt be very hard.
I looked on the Overture monthly search thingy and the traffic is definitly there if I can capture it. And in addition I want my site to have a forum so there would hopefull be repeat traffic throughout the day.
My only concern is that the bid tool showed the max bid was like .37,.31,.31,.29, etc...not good.
Any insite? Thank you in advance!
Edit: I am very aware that this is going to vary greatly and the answers are going to be "it depends" but I just looked for a rough guess. Thanks

How's this for a rough guess?
About 100,000 page views.
BUT, it will depend greatly on the target market, the content, the vertical you choose, the layout of each page and the copy-writing of the ads being shown.
I'm saying roughly 100K will get you where you want to be based on experience.

About a thousand pages of unique content 300 - 500 words per page, and a year and a half of time.
...and constant posts to a blog on the site, too.

It seems like a mathematical question:
Assuming google pays out 30% of 37¢ that would be revenue of 11¢ per click to you.
You would have to see how many impressions you require per click. Let's assume 7% visits to clicks.
100 visits gets you 7 clicks @ 11¢, or 77¢
You would need 1298 clicks to make $1,000
You would also need 129,871 visits to make that revenue
129,871 Visits x 7% Click through x 11¢ Rev / click = $1,000

Since Google doesn't share any of this info, even assuming any numbers is moot, IMO.
What I can tell you for sure is that the holiday card mailing season has definitely slowed down my cheque getting to me...LOL
Folks have, for a long time, tried to crack the "what does G pay" riddle - until G tell sus, we'll never know, so I don't even both to think about it.
I, instead, focus on what content groups to build out next. This allows me to expand my exposure in search results, add new areas for existing users to explore and, hopefully, expands my page view numbers - which should (theoretically) increase my revenue.
Who knows - might end up building content that no one wants (but keyword research helps narrow that down) or might build basically the same content as other have and never rank as well.
I actually have a plan to expand one area of my site with the goal at driving more page views/ad impressions using images as the prime content of the page - well, as the prime visual content of the pages. I'll still be placing visible text on the pages, but it'll be a gallery, so the real reason users will go is for the unique, author-owned images - thousands of them.
Figure this is good for about another 100 or so pages for the website - every picture optimized as much as possible for image search. each page showing Adsense ads, clear buttons to encourage viewers to check out the next page, etc., etc.
Even if revenue doesn't increase with page views, the increase in page views alone has value as I can approach other advertisers and offer them the space to showcase their products.
Revenue is revenue - build the content, develop the traffic, sell the space.
