Another Milestone, but Not the Critical Ones

Another milestone was broke this morning on comparexy.com when we broke the top 200,000 barrier for the highest web site traffic in the U.S.

Other milestones I'd be more interested in seeing:

1. An Article Written:
   
   I'll be interested in seeing how long it takes for an author whom I do not know to actually write, or edit an article on the site. Perhaps having people sign-up via Facebook connect is too much of a burden.
   
2. More Than Pennies Generated:
   
   I'm curious as to what it will take to get a few people to click on some ad support. I'm not expecting much, but I would like to make more than $4.58 a month. If I could get it to $20 a month, I would be happier.
   
   
3. Someone Linking To The SIte as a Resource:
   
   Not a spam link. Not a blog aggregate link. But, a link from somewhere that referred to the site either from curiosity or as a resource.
   
   
4. Top 100,000 Sites in the World
   
   I think I need to increase my traffic by about 10 times get to the top 100,000
