title: Website monthly visits are (daily visits x 30)?
body: <p>I'm trying to estimate if showing ads on my website can become the main source of income by estimating the traffic of somewhat similar sites.</p>
  
  <p>There are several websites, offering traffic statistics and presenting similar data. For instance, here is their statistics for <code>stackoverflow.com</code>:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.similarweb.com/website/stackoverflow.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.similarweb.com/website/stackoverflow.com</a>
  <a href="http://www.trafficestimate.com/stackoverflow.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.trafficestimate.com/stackoverflow.com</a>
  <a href="http://www.siteworthtraffic.com/report/stackoverflow.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.siteworthtraffic.com/report/stackoverflow.com</a></p>
  
  <p>According to these data, <code>stackoverflow.com</code> receives just around 150 million monthly visits. Does it mean that I should divide this number by 30 in order to get the number of daily visits, resulting in only 5 million visits a day, which is worth only ~15 000$ income a day? Because that's quite a low number for such a monster.</p>
  
  <p>Or in reality it receives around 150 million users each day, making around 500 000$ a day?</p>

  <p>Another case - <code>VK.com</code>:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.trafficestimate.com/vk.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.trafficestimate.com/vk.com</a></p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.similarweb.com/website/vk.com#overview" rel="nofollow">http://www.similarweb.com/website/vk.com#overview</a></p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.siteworthtraffic.com/report/vk.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.siteworthtraffic.com/report/vk.com</a></p>
  
  <p>According to <code>vk.com</code> they have 350 millions active users. So the data, presented by trafficestimate, similarweb and siteworthtraffic don't look consistent.</p>

  <p>Another case - <code>meduza.io</code>.</p>
  
  <p><code>meduza.io</code> is a news site, which was created by ~30 people team, who left <code>lenta.ru</code> after polytical persecution of their chief editor. They're making ~3 million visitors a month or ~ 10 million page views.</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.trafficestimate.com/meduza.io" rel="nofollow">http://www.trafficestimate.com/meduza.io</a></p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.similarweb.com/website/meduza.io#overview" rel="nofollow">http://www.similarweb.com/website/meduza.io#overview</a></p>
  
  <p>With 10$/1000 page views, they could achieve just 100 000$/month, which is barely or not enough to pay salaries to 30 people in Europe.</p>
