## What this site is
Dated, sourced numbers. One page answers one question. Every figure carries a verification date and a link to its primary source.

## Pages
- [How Many Page Views You Need Before Ad Money Arrives (Payout Math, Not Hype)](https://actualdatabase.com/page-views-needed-to-earn/): 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.
- [Free Static Hosting Limits Compared: Cloudflare Pages vs Netlify vs Vercel vs GitHub Pages](https://actualdatabase.com/free-static-hosting-limits/): On our capture date, Cloudflare Pages was the only widely used free tier with unmetered bandwidth and a written commercial-use allowance. Netlify Free allowed 100 GB of bandwidth and 300 build minutes per month, Vercel Hobby allowed roughly 100 GB but prohibited commercial use, and GitHub Pages allowed 1 GB of published site with 100 GB per month of soft bandwidth and was not intended for e-commerce.
