At a $5 RPM you need about 20,000 monthly page views to clear $100, and about 200,000 to clear $1,000. RPM, not traffic, is the whole game: a $40 RPM niche needs 2,500 views for the same $100. Ad networks also hold payouts until a threshold, usually $100, so small sites can be profitable on paper and still see no money for months.
