Pastures would know the answer to this, but my impression is that you can earn very approximately around $1000 per million page views. So, as you have 3m page views per month, that's £2000 per month, give or take a very wide margin. Then, there's the forum visits on top.Youngest is working on a solution (I say working, he has it all worked out but there are things to iron out first).
But you would have to host the site yourself in order to get all the revenue. Is that what needs ironing out first?
Could you get your present hosts to share some of the revenue with you for now?No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
Rate depends on the sector, but £2/1000 views is easily achievable; £5/1000 views is to be expected.... and in higher paying subjects £12-20/1000 isn't unexpected at all.Pastures would know the answer to this, but my impression is that you can earn very approximately around $1000 per million page views.

My top four sites, for April have so far paid/1000:
1] £4.29
2] £17.19
3] £1.89
4] £3.96
So there's a huge variation even across one person's sites.
I just don't get the traffic I used to. I'm not unique, the market is crowded with people more motivated/interested ... mine "just sit there" mostly, while I rearrange the deckchairs so to speak.0 -
The trouble with the parking - are there no signs up or markings on the road surface?
The local allotments have a sign outside the entrance gate saying that cars that obstruct it are liable to be damaged by wheel barrows that use the entrance constantly. Of course, nobody wheels their barrows through the entrance, but it does stay clear!No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

... are there no signs up or markings on the road surface?
There are no signs. It's not "the road". You pull off the road, behind the houses - where the land is "open plan" visually and there are "marked spots with numbers". Outside of your marked spot you will own the freehold and others have a right to pass over your freehold to get to their marked spots. Most people have the ability to use their freehold to park AN Other car because they know "who owns which bits" and it works well .... except when renters (who never see the deeds) have visitors and people just arbitrarily do what they like.
To try to understand - not the situation, but the "thinking"
.... imagine if you had a row of four terraced houses - and you all had an "open plan" front garden where you were not allowed to fence it off. Imagine if you'd sit out there with your chairs/drinks/visitors from time to time and it's all nice. You're in your front garden - your neighbours are in theirs ... and then suddenly somebody decides that using the entire length of all four gardens is a "great football pitch". It's wrong, they can't do it, land boundaries are clearly marked in the deeds.... but how do you stop it - and you shouldn't have to.
Or like the person on a corner plot of a modern open plan road/estate, where they find everybody (and his dog) perpetually cut across his front lawn rather than using the pavement round it.
No markers, no signs, no fences, no physical boundaries ....0 -

I wondered whether writing road was wrong, but I was being lazy.
I am afraid that unless there's a sign saying people shouldn't block your gate it will keep happening. And the perpetrators won't apologise because they won't understand they have done something wrong. Even with a sign some people are probably going to park there, but hopefully you'll get much less annoyance.
Look at it from the perpetrators' point of view. There's a car park for the houses. Some spaces are marked out, so they avoid those and park in the unmarked spaces. There are no signs saying not to, so why not?No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
.... unless there's a sign ...
"why not" - because it totally and 100% blocked my gate from just 6" from the wooden slats, meaning only somebody 6" thin could pass ... I am 6" thin when I breathe in and am determined.
You're right, but I think they're so "typical council" looking
I will end up having to spend money to do something drastic.
Yesterday, while blocked, another neighbour arrived - and moaned about the one there for 25 hours the other day .... and said "I think I'll get some laminate signs made at work". Previously, before they sold it, next door had been blocked into their spot by "god knows who" and she said "my partner should get some laminate signs made up at work" ....
So we're all of the same thought train, for the same reasons. It's not "just me".0 -

Print a sign on your printer, wrap it in a plastic bag, and pin it up with drawing pins?No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
Print a sign on your printer, wrap it in a plastic bag, and pin it up with drawing pins?
Nice theory, no printer. It's been on the "must get one" list for about 8 years.
There was a discussion here the other day about printing cost etc.
If I'm going to do it, I don't want it to look super-naff
I'll think about the best/easiest way to do something.0
