What is the average amount one user brings in revenue per year with a big site?

I've been in the proces of writing a businessplan for a company i want to start. It is a tech startup and however there is tons and tons of information to find on the internet about anything considering tech startups i'm having a big problem figuring out wat is a reasonable number of revenue a normally active (average) user will bring a year.

So my question is basically:
How much revenue does an average user bring per year when using standard advertising. Think 1.000.000 active users with 20.000.000+ views per month.

What is an average I can use writing up my businessplan?

It depends on what your major source of income is.

Let's say you choose Google adsense. You won't make a huge amount unless you have the right keywords, alt tags, page titles and meta tags.

Direct adverts are always a better and more profitable approach in my opinion.
Casino advertisers seem to pay big bucks compared to Adsense!

I can make a few thousand dollars a month from a very low ranked site with little traffic. Because the direct advertisers pay per month and not on an eCPM or CPC basis they only care about through-traffic and profit, not impressions.

You can also try services like Commission Junction which is aimed at reselling other services, but it has never worked well for my network.

Revenue with figures you have given is something between 2000- 3000usd /month that becomes usd 36000/- per annum with the traffic you have mentioned .

You can spend around 500- 750 usd for writing and advt over internet
