I wrote Inside Wangjianshuo.com in Oct 2002. It is more on the operational side – the venders I am using and the architectes of the domains and websites. Recently, I reviewed some very good articles on site building. I’d like to share my experience with this site – anyway, it is a PageRank 5 website now, according to Google.

Brett stated in his Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone
I guarantee you that in ones years time you will call your site a success. It will be drawing between 500 and 2000 referrals a day from search engines. If you build a good site with an average of 4 to 5 pages per user, you should be in the 10-15k page views per day range in one years time.
He called 10K hits per day a “successful website”. I hope I can get half success at the end of hit year 2003 (HY2003) with 5K page view per day.
