What Do You Consider To Be ‘High-Traffic’?

by Paul on January 15th, 2006

I see everyone nowadays likes to proclaim that they run ‘high-traffic’ sites, but I am curious to know what you actually consider a high-traffic site? To me Slashdot is a high-traffic site, but that’s an extreme case. Also when it comes to traffic numbers what’s the number that makes you look twice at the site?

    A high volume blog is different than a high volume site - 50k pageviews a day is a fairly high volume blog - but for a website that’s just ok..

    I think PR has a role somewhere. If my PR bar reports a PR of 6 or over, I generally think its a high traffic site. I know this generally may not be the case, silly me.

    100k visits a month is where I consider something to be “high traffic”

    Of course, it’s up to the eye of the beholder. At 100k visits you can start pulling leverage on your advertisers - and that’s what I would consider high traffic, personally.

    Yeah I’m waiting for that day I can say we receive a couple million pageviews a day.

    Then the money will be rolling in Mr Scrivs. You better give me some of it. Us Aussies need money too, snags and beer ain’t free you know!

    I’m pulling around 800k over the last 30 days, but I don’t really think I’m high traffic yet. I think when I start getting consistently >> 50k a day, I’ll be in that high-traffic margin.

    1 million visits per month is what i consider high traffic,but what is traffic without sales?
