Josh is right, people get way to excited about a temporary change in stats. For example, we will *all* see an increase in traffic around the holidays. Why? Because that happens every year, *all* websites see an increase of traffic around the holidays. More people with time to kill. However, don't forget the big picture. Everyone on this list will see their traffic grow a lot over the next year. That's just big picture stuff: more interest in video. Another interesting point: any website will grow if you keep at it, because the internet grows. I have had various websites since 1998, and each one of them grows at least 50% in traffic every year. The internet just gets bigger :) Peter ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
