Patience & the long tail

These are the stats from my flickr account for the last 30 days. I have been adding photos since the first of the year. Usually get around 500 hits a day and it has slowly been rising. Just recently 3 different unrelated photos are now indexed on some search engines and are getting a lot of traffic.

The main lesson here is that it just takes time for content to take off. Somtimes people get lucky and their content site takes off within a month or two, for others it could be a year the site to hit full stride. It appears my flickr is now in full stride and doing well
