My blog gets 1M unique visitors per month and earns 2K/mo with adsense.

Question: with that many uniques, wouldn’t you be able to monetize further? Affiliate marketing and such?

Seems low to me too. I'm getting ~US$200/month with about 30k page views per month (not even uniques, but I'm a one-stop-shop, not a portal).

And it's all static, so zero maintenance. Just pay the couple bucks a month to S3 and domain names.

But then again, I target people angry at their XYZ provider, so the clickthrough rates are pretty good :)

Are you doing the writing or are you aggregating or something else?

Myself, but I haven't added any content for ~4 years.

Niche/industry can have a huge impact on cpms though.
