Old business partner of mine posted around year 2000 that within 10 years webmasters would be happy with 1/3000 signup ratio (at that time it was about 1/300) with all the counter wanking taking place (people were focusing more on be #1 on some worthless counter, then on their bottomline - nothing much have changed)... and I think he will be right
Those who will prosper will focus on "their" niche, and build things around the content, which will make it better
