How much do you earn JUST in page views each month?

I was earning about $0.40 give or take each month from page views the first few months I started. Then it went up to $2 and some change for a couple months, now it's over $3 each month and still increasing. It's not much now, but hopefully one day soon I will be making $10 or $20 a month just from page views alone. I wonder if there are some people who earn $40 and $50 each month just from page views alone! I am only on Clout Level 5 at the moment, but hopefully soon I will reach level 6. Then I think it will take quite some time to reach clout level 7, but from that clout level on we receive even greater pay for page views. For level 7, rather than $1.50 per thousand page views it's $1.55 per thousand views. If you'd like to share your experiences about how much you earned your first few months and about how much you earn monthly now just from page views, please feel free to do so. Please also share your clout level. THANKS! Have a great day.

After almost 3 years at AC I earn between $80 and $140 or so on pageviews a month depending on what time of year it is.

That sounds great! I would love to earn even half that from AC!! Are you on Bukisa.com and eHow.com as well? If so, would you mind sharing your income from those sites as well so we can all compare? Thanks for the input!

I usually make around $7-8 per month on just the views. Some months (such as October) I have more views based on the type of articles that I write (lots about Halloween costumes). I usually stay right around the $7 mark though. I hope to go well above that one day, but it seems that my articles aren't getting as many hits as they used to.

it is hard to say how much you will make yes clout level makes a difference, but it also depends on have many page views you get and everyone is different, and another important factor is how many stories you have up, the more stories the better, they count in the money part up to 200 stories, so your goal is to get 200 stories to make the maximum that they will give you a bonus for every month.

Agree with that. Speaking of the number of articles, I think the length of the articles also play a great part in generating page views. 200 articles of a page = 200 pages 200 articles of average 3 pages = 600 pages I posted my degree coursework (about 3000 words) to AC. That article is about 7 to 8 pages long, so a person reading that article will generate 7 to 8 page views.

I'm at a clout level of 8 and usually make around $10 or so a month on page views. It's nice because lately I have no spending money and that gives me something. I haven't had time to write articles lately but I'm thinking I should write something very soon because I could definitely use a bit of extra cash. I think I finally have a few ideas as well.

I am clout level 4 and only earn tens of cents in page views per month on AC but that is because I have only published 16 articles there. I think you need at least 100 quality articles on a site before you can properly judge it. I am planning on reaching 100 articles by the summer. However my number 1 writing site is helium where I am currently making around $7 a month on page views. My page view revenue is doubling each month as I add around 25 new articles on a monthly basis. I also prefer Helium as they pay me upfront payments whereas AC do not.

So far I have not earned anything from page views from this web site. I guess because I have not had much time on this web site, that I would need to post and reply more often.

Hello my friend Bethany1202 Ji, Well ! I feel very bad to dis-appoint you, but I do not have any other site for passing my time other than myLot. I am very happy with this much association with you all. May God bless you and have a great time.

I joined before AC started paying for page views each month, and received a pleasant little lump sum in my PayPal account when they started back paying for monthly page views last year (or was is 2 years ago already? I can't remember). Now I usually average about $2.50 a month just in page views. For me, that's just fine, as I'm not very active in promoting my work, but I'm constantly trying to produce more content when I can. I'm at clout level 6, so I'm still at $1.50 per 1,000 page views, but I'm hoping to make it to 7 by the end of the year.

I joined just last month. Till now have more than 40 articles in AC. The average page view per article is not that fantastic, but the accumulative page views for all the articles reach the 1,000 mark. Currently on Clout Level 4, hope to add in more articles to reach Level 5 within 2 months. Since AC does not pay upfront for international writers, I am eligible for only page views payment. Hopefully can increase to $2 per month from page views.
