I checked out his getrichslowly.org stats on alexa -- seems his site is getting 150-200k uniques per day. Is that considered high enough for a blog to generate decent income?

Well, considering that this is J.D.'s primary source of income, I suspect so.

In the personal finance niche- that's enough to get rich! He can easily get $10 CPM for his posts. At 150K pageviews a day that's $1500 a day profit.

  You wish, or he wishes! A month possibly, maybe double that, but a day!

    I assuming parent is correct and he gets 150K uniques a day, which is probably on the high side. However, I maintain that getting $10 CPM for a finance site, even one without an ad sales team, is trivial.

4.5M to 6M uniques sounds extremely high for a personal finance site. P.S. According to compete.com, his site gets 300K uniques per month - http://siteanalytics.compete.com/getrichslowly.org/ http://siteanalytics.compete.com/getrichslowly.org/

  I tend to think that trends.google.com has the best approximation of traffic: http://trends.google.com/websites?q=getrichslowly.org&sa=N http://trends.google.com/websites?q=getrichslowly.org&sa... In any case, yes, this blog has a decent sized audience, and would generate a fair amount of income.

    How do you read the actual traffic numbers from that chart?

    if I go by google numbers then daily uniques are closer to 50k which is still decent for a blog.
