Good thread PL
Personally I have progressed but not as much as I should have...
However, I am slowly building up and diversifying my traffic sources which has helped increase my income by about 25% month on month without overly increasing my workload.
Overall I feel I am heading in the right direction.
Don't have a lot of time to devote to this game though at the moment, my mainstream company and family commitments take up most my time.
