I have read a couple of articles recently regarding the success of daniweb and I'd like to add my congrats on the popularity of this site.
I have a general question regarding traffic and would be interested in comparing stats for relatively new websites. It may give some encouragement to people out there who are wondering if it was all worth it.
For instance, I launched my site, a political forum, on 1 June 2007. I get between 30 and 80unique visitors a day and have averaged 50 registered users per month so far. I estimate I've had a few hundred posts, though at the moment I don't count them. I have no idea whether these stats are good, bad or average.
I notice loads of other daniweb users are beginners, I'd be interested to know how they are all doing and what daniweb stats were in the first few months.
