Ok I have a few questions and figured I should group them up and present instead of doing a bunch of post. First, As for adsense what is the ratio of page impressions to clicks? I know you can't make people click your ads but what would be a rough guess on average how many page impressions equal a click. You see my goal is to get $1000+ a month from my blog and was wondering about how many page impressions would I be hoping for. Next, how many blog articles do you do a week? Does it vary? I am averaging 2 a week but, plan to raise that to 3 a week. And, do you think posting too many blog articles a week or month, etc could be counter productive. I figure you have too many blog articles posted good ones might easily get lost in the shuffle. And another question, how do you get a successful forum started? Does it take time like starting a blog. I set one up and only have one person who joined yet I know people are checking out the forum just not posting or joining. You know I feel I have forgot something, oh well. I do have to say my blog is finally getting off the ground with many visitors and even many vistors by way of finding my blog on search engines, at least three a day. It has been going great the last few months but I am looking for ideas to get more visitors.

Thanks for your time.
