Very good news indeed. I notice Wikidot will hit the 4,000,000 pages and 400,000 users sometime next week. Has anyone on the team plotted user numbers over time? When can we expect 500,000 users? What about 5 million?

I don't think there are 5 million people in the world that are fortunate enough to own a computer, let alone a subscription to the internet as well. Oops, I was thinking "5 billion" :)
Still, that is a lot.

Hi Shane, it's true that 5 million is a lot of people, but Facebook & Twitter both have more than 5 million users, and I believe that Wikidot is heaps better than either. I think 5 million is a realistic number of users to aim for in the medium term, but perhaps 50 million would be an even better aspirational goal? I know I'm not comparing apples with apples, but I still think it is worth thinking about.

Does wikidot work on real hardware or does it work on virtual servers?
We use a mix of as-fast-as-possible real hardware, as-cheap-as-possible virtual servers, and as-distributed-as-possible cloud servers (for static files).
On Michals blog you will find some tests with amazons cloud computing.
But today i think wikidot works on "REAL" hardware - the cloud computing works on "real" hardware too :) but out of single - self- control…

holly smokes! wikidot profitable? look at this! it says wikidot is worth $726,875.6 USD!
it also say that wikidot makes almost a $1000 a day from adds when it barely even has any! wow!
You'll notice that websiteoutlook.com calculates the value of a website at exactly 2 x 365 x daily ad revenue. It also calculates advertising revenue from total traffic to a site, assuming that every page has ads. I'm not sure what per-page metric it's using then, since ad revenue varies enormously.
Our actual ad revenue is much lower, sadly. Well, happily too, since it means we can plan to remove all ads, eventually, without destroying our business model.
