Short answer: modest. For a small technology blog getting only a few hundred visits per day, pure PPC income will normally be low — which echoes and 's comments — but that outcome is predictable and can be improved with a few concrete levers.

A simple way to reason about earnings is to convert visitors to monthly pageviews and use either a click-based or RPM-based model:

monthly_pageviews = daily_visitors * 30
revenue = monthly_pageviews * CTR * CPC
# or
revenue = (monthly_pageviews / 1000) * RPM

The formulas are deliberately neutral: change the assumptions (CTR, CPC, RPM) and the result changes linearly. Use the blog’s analytics and ad dashboard to plug in real CTR/CPC or calculated RPM to get an honest baseline before testing anything.

Actionable levers (prioritize these in phases): focus content on higher‑intent topics (comparison/review posts) so visitors are more likely to click or buy; add at least one affiliate/product funnel alongside banners; capture emails with a simple lead magnet to monetize repeat visitors; improve pages-per-session and reduce bounce (internal links, on‑page CTAs); A/B test ad formats and in‑content placements but avoid policy‑breaking click prompts. Premium ad networks and direct sponsorships pay more, but require higher, engaged traffic.

Troubleshooting checklist: verify analytics for bot/invalid traffic; measure ad blockers and mobile layout; track RPM in the ad network dashboard; run a 3‑month experiment changing one variable at a time (better content, then placement, then new monetization). This explains why low PPC pay is common early on (as noted by and others) and gives practical next steps to raise revenue beyond “not much.”

How much can you earn from a technology blog with 400 visitors?

Can't find the article that you mention?

As far as i am aware of, not very much...

Not many people earn big money with blogs. Same is yours. You need to put in a lot of time and effort in the blog to make some money. Even in that it is doubtful whether you will earn a decent income from blogs.
