On the other hand, if I can make my site grow from roughly under 10k
to 15k in one year, I assume I can make it grow to 20-25k next year.
And at some point there should be a break even point, e.g. I can pay
myself from the income I make with ads. So currently it's part
hobby, part investment.

I don't understand why you don't make a lot of money from it now?

It would be really easy to make thousands of dollars a year from
your site in ad revenue.

BTW you could easily get to 20K-25K a day this year with the right
approach.

I am open for advice on both accounts, of course :-)

Yep, I agree with Dave. Which why I brought it up in my other
posting.:-)

I might have missed that one?

In short, I notice that the majority of my traffic comes because of a
handful of well written (IMO) articles. My planning for now is to try
to write 2-3 of those articles each week (until I get tired of it).
(Which I should be doing right now).

Don't blame ya. I get tired of writing also. That is why I went to the
speech tools. A lot faster.:-)

Nah, I type faster then I can talk to a computer, which would tire me
even more. Also, the writing is not the main issue, the doing the
install and configuration steps all myself and double checking eats a
lot of time. With other blog entries it's the
resizing/cropping/selecting of pictures that eats up a lot of time.

Cool!

Yeah, it's not accurate, but ASCII art has it's limitations. I had a
fast grow from August to about Februari this year. And then somehow it
came to a stand still. Suddenly, two weeks or so ago its on the rise
again.

Some other things I have planned:

- add a description to each page (just a short summary)
- add keywords to each page (just 10 or so, kind of summary of the
summary)

Yeah, a big pain after the fact huh? :-)

In a way yes, in another way, no :-)

I try and get them in with
each page now. Also try and not get to rushed and make pages very
unique as much as possible even with file names also.

Same here :-) Not always easy, because I see a lot of scorpions on our
trips :-)

IBLs isn't the problem anymore IMO, I get almost daily new ones, and
some have quite a good PR even :-)

Well, you have enough don't you. :-)

Nah, I want that 8 :-D.

Yes and maybe a few affiliate links to products related to your
article.:-)

Thinking about Amazon. Had that ages ago in the past, and made even some
money with it (with a site that had 100 visitors or so a day, those were
the days :-), stupid I gave up on that one, could have had 30,000 or so
today )
