I like his work. He is a great writer and does very well online. He has some great tips and philosophies, but I think half the skill of being a great blogger is cutting through the BS of a post :0) Like you, I would always rather read about things that work and don't. Actually, that is something I am resolving to do in the next year, write articles about my screwups as well.. I agree with you there. I like his work. He is a great writer and does very well online.

I'm sure some people like reading that sort of thing, but I prefer reading peoples real life experiences of what worked, what didn't - and other technical matters relating to establishing successful online ventures.

And welcome to the site! 1,000 uniques a day is a great target to start monetizing the traffic. The bad thing though, is the website owner risks losing traffic based on the moneization. If I visit a blog everyday and it goes from no advertising to a lot, I might not go back. On the other hand, if I get used to the ads then it's no big deal. What it really comes down to is content. If you have great content, it won't matter. You are absolutely right John. And welcome to the site! 1,000 uniques a day is a great target to start monetizing the traffic.

I've heard you should have at least 1,000 uniques per day. Unless I'm wrong and you're already doing well. In that case carry on.
