I want to address this further, because a couple of people have said something like this, and don't understand this thinking. Here's my position:
I'm sure other entrepreneurs can agree with me that you need to be resourceful - to work with your own strengths & experiences.
I did write this post initially to help others; but it has been a successful posts. I now consider it an asset that I can build upon and learn from. For now, it may be a matter of just increasing ad revenues; but who knows how it could be expanded in the future? "You can't connect the dots moving forward."
If I have a place that there is a big enough audience visiting that I can run tests and easily learn a few things about that audience, I can not only make that resource more valuable for this audience, I can also learn how to market things to that audience. I can then use that learning on future endeavors that will, hopefully have a larger audience.
Not everyone starts Digg overnight, including Kevin Rose. You have to work with what you have. You have to build your snowball before you can start rolling it.
