Went from 3.8M in alexa down to 1.3M and will continue getting better. And I dont have to host any of the content and bandwidth is low.
Ad sales will be next so Im not overly worried.

Word of advice since you're new ... promote the hell out of PPS sponsors with a good trial. Make sure all ads mention that trial. It also doesn't hurt to check in on your sponsor periodically to see how your rebill rate is ... because if they're not making money off you then you're going to revshare. A lot of people will say "know your traffic" and part of knowing your traffic is also knowing that sponsors are making enough off it to be happy. Naturally, if they're an awesome site, revshare works best anyway, but with the recession, pre-paid credit cards, one-time use card numbers, etc., it can really be hit-or-miss.
