Another interesting point: any website will grow if you keep at it,
because the internet grows. I have had various websites since 1998,
and each one of them grows at least 50% in traffic every year. The
internet just gets bigger :)
Might be true, but growth also correlates to competition in some markets which can cause a decrease in traffic.
A friend of mine had an online toy store running since 1996 and was successful... Now, barely anyone orders from his site, not because he doesnt keep up at it but because there are hundreds of other online toy stores and abay shops. The site barely makes money now... so bigger is not always better for everyone ;-)

Josh is right, people get way to excited about a temporary change in
stats. For example, we will *all* see an increase in traffic around
the holidays. Why? Because that happens every year, *all* websites see
an increase of traffic around the holidays. More people with time to kill.
However, don't forget the big picture. Everyone on this list will see
their traffic grow a lot over the next year. That's just big picture
stuff: more interest in video.
