I'd sen my humble little Bonsai WP.com site go up steadily in hits from 100, then 200 and it leveled out at around 250-300 a day.
Yesterday though 510 hits and thus far today just a minute ago, 476 hits. I like WP in-so-far as you can see exactly what folks are searching for and where they have come from, what links etc.
Bring on the target of 1000

If I can get an average of 1000 a day that is going to be say 300,000 a year taking out holidays and such forth.
I'm currently writing up individual care guides which is exhausting and techniques. I am doing it slightly differently by using pictures and words to tell a story. Downsides is loading speeds so at some stage I may have to reduce the res of pictures to make it run quicker for slow speed connections.
I'm thrilled to bits really and the more intense and thorough technical information I include will mean repeat hits. No money in it and it is just for fun really, but the challenge now is to get that 1000 hits!
I picked up so much from Steve & Kip when I was in business and it was Kip that first introduced me to WP. A huge thanks for that. I'm even in part using HTML code now.
