Strategy Analysis Report

To achieve the monthly revenue target of ${{formatNumber(monthlyIncome)}}, with {{websiteCount}} websites, each targeting {{keywordsPerSite}} keywords. The daily revenue target is ${{results.dailyIncome}}.

Based on current settings, each visitor's value consists of: Ad revenue ${{results.adRevenuePerUv}} + SaaS revenue ${{results.saasRevenuePerUv}} = Total value ${{results.revenuePerUv}}. Each visitor averages {{pvPerUv}} pageviews.

Traffic acquisition strategy: Each website needs {{formatNumber(results.uvPerSite)}} daily visitors, expected to generate {{formatNumber(results.pvPerSite)}} pageviews. Target ranking position {{rankPosition}} (click-through rate {{rankClickRates[rankPosition]}}%), requires daily search volume of {{formatNumber(results.searchVolumePerKeyword)}} per keyword. ⚠️ Current required daily search volume exceeds 10,000, consider increasing the number of websites or keywords

Link building strategy: Based on keyword difficulty (KD) {{keywordKD}}, each website needs at least {{results.requiredDomains}} quality referring domains. Total link building budget ${{formatNumber(results.totalLinkCost)}}. ⚠️ Warning: Link building cost exceeds 6 months of revenue, strategy adjustment recommended

ROI analysis: Projected 12-month revenue ${{formatNumber(results.yearlyIncome)}}, return on investment is {{results.roi}}x . ⚠️ Current ROI is below 1, project may be risky

⚠️ Strategy Optimization Suggestions:
  • Current keyword difficulty (KD: {{keywordKD}}) is high but daily search volume ({{formatNumber(results.searchVolumePerKeyword)}}) is low, resulting in poor ROI. Suggestions:
    • Find related keywords with lower KD
    • Choose keywords with higher search volume
    • Consider long-tail keyword strategy
  • Current required search volume ({{formatNumber(results.searchVolumePerKeyword)}}) is too high, consider creating more websites, increasing the number of keywords, or adjusting revenue expectations
  • Current ROI ({{results.roi}}x) is low, consider increasing user value or reducing acquisition costs
  • Link building cost (${{formatNumber(results.totalLinkCost)}}) is too high, consider targeting keywords with lower difficulty
  • Consider choosing keywords with lower competition to reduce required backlinks
  • Optimize website experience to increase user time on site and pageviews
  • Improve monetization efficiency by increasing ad revenue and SaaS conversion rates

Calculation Details:

  1. Monthly revenue ${{monthlyIncome}} divided by 30 days = Daily target ${{results.dailyIncome}}
  2. Each visitor generates ${{results.adRevenuePerUv}} from ads + ${{results.saasRevenuePerUv}} from SaaS = ${{results.revenuePerUv}}
  3. To achieve daily revenue of ${{results.dailyIncome}}, total visitors needed: {{results.totalDailyUv}}
  4. Distributed across {{websiteCount}} websites, visitors needed per site: {{results.uvPerSite}}
  5. Each site targets {{keywordsPerSite}} keywords, rank position {{rankPosition}} has {{rankClickRates[rankPosition]}}% CTR, required search volume per keyword: {{results.searchVolumePerKeyword}}
  6. Each visitor generates {{pvPerUv}} pageviews, expected pageviews: {{results.pvPerSite}}
  7. Based on KD {{keywordKD}}, requires {{results.requiredDomains}} referring domains
  8. Estimated link building cost ${{results.totalLinkCost}} (recommended budget should not exceed 6 months of revenue)

Frequently Asked Questions

Why create multiple websites?
Having multiple websites helps diversify risk and allows you to cover more keywords and market segments. However, keep in mind that managing multiple websites also means higher maintenance costs.
What is KD (Keyword Difficulty)?
KD (Keyword Difficulty) indicates the competition level for a keyword, ranging from 0 to 100. A higher KD value means you'll need more backlinks to achieve good rankings in search results.
What are UV and PV? What's the difference?
UV (Unique Visitors) refers to the number of individual users visiting a website, with each user counted only once regardless of multiple visits. PV (Page Views) is the total number of times pages are viewed.
For example, if one user visits 5 pages on a website, this generates 1 UV and 5 PVs. The "Pageviews per Unique Visitor" metric in the calculator measures user engagement depth.
How is revenue per visitor calculated?
Revenue per visitor consists of two components: advertising revenue and SaaS revenue.
Ad Revenue = (Ad Revenue per 1000 Pageviews × Pageviews per Visitor) ÷ 1000
SaaS Revenue = SaaS Revenue per 1000 Visitors ÷ 1000
Total Revenue = Ad Revenue + SaaS Revenue
How is the required traffic calculated for target revenue?
1. First calculate daily revenue target = monthly revenue target ÷ 30
2. Then calculate total visitors needed = daily revenue target ÷ revenue per visitor
3. Visitors needed per website = total visitors ÷ number of websites
4. Pageviews needed per website = visitors per website × pageviews per visitor

How is revenue per visitor calculated?
Revenue per visitor consists of two components: advertising revenue and SaaS revenue.
Ad Revenue = (Ad Revenue per 1000 Pageviews × Pageviews per Visitor) ÷ 1000
SaaS Revenue = SaaS Revenue per 1000 Visitors ÷ 1000
Total Revenue = Ad Revenue + SaaS Revenue
How is the required traffic calculated for target revenue?
1. First calculate daily revenue target = monthly revenue target ÷ 30
2. Then calculate total visitors needed = daily revenue target ÷ revenue per visitor
3. Visitors needed per website = total visitors ÷ number of websites
4. Pageviews needed per website = visitors per website × pageviews per visitor
How are backlink costs calculated?
Backlink costs follow a tiered pricing model:
1. First 10 domains: $100 each
2. Domains 11-50: 1% increase per additional domain
3. Domains 51-200: 1.5% increase per additional domain
4. Beyond 200 domains: 2% increase per additional domain
This pricing model reflects the increasing difficulty of acquiring high-quality backlinks.
How is Return on Investment (ROI) calculated?
ROI = 12-month projected revenue ÷ total backlink cost
For example, if projected annual revenue is $120,000 and backlink cost is $30,000, then ROI = 4x
Recommended ROI should be greater than 1, meaning annual revenue should exceed backlink costs. Backlink costs should not exceed 6 months of target revenue.
How to optimize the revenue model?
1. Increase ad revenue: Optimize ad placement and formats, improve CPM (Cost Per Thousand Impressions)
2. Increase SaaS revenue: Improve product conversion funnel, increase user conversion rates
3. Improve pageviews per visitor ratio: Enhance content quality and site structure to increase time on site
4. Reduce acquisition costs: Choose keywords with appropriate difficulty, balance traffic and competition
5. Diversify revenue streams: Develop new revenue channels beyond advertising and SaaS
What should you keep in mind when using this calculator?
1. Calculations are estimates based on ideal conditions; actual results may vary
2. Search engine algorithms frequently change, affecting rankings and traffic stability
3. Backlink costs fluctuate with market conditions
4. Start small, validate the model's viability before scaling up investment
5. Continuously monitor and optimize metrics, adjusting strategy as needed
