Hey its been a few months since I have been on the forums , been working my a** off on one of my projects.

Well to cut things short I have built up a tech site (pcs,consoles,games , etc)
Its in a very difficult market but we have seen progress and currently hit around 150k pageviews a month 14 months into the project.

Most of what is done now is content (2-5 pieces a day) on trending topics aswell as extensive stuff . Mainly promotion nothing crazy on links because we earn them naturally. I have built up quite a big email list , facebook followship etc.

The sites we are going against have huge backlink profiles , but we are in some of the google , bing ,yahoo top spots between them. Like I said we are getting alot of social shares and high pr links from other sites mentions etc.

theverge.com
mashable.com
tomshardware.com
techspot.com
videocardz.com
are just a few of them.

What do you think our chances are of hitting 1 million pageviews by next june or is this kind of just rinse repeat the same things we do till we get there .?

        That's awesome
        By the way, do you use Schema/RDFa or Google authorship on the site?
        As a rule, sites like Mashable, The Verge, take semantic markup seriously.

        For example, if you look at the code of the first random Mashable article
        http://mashable.com/2013/11/07/video...ush-hollywood/...
        you'll see that they use OpenGraph to specify different properties of their articles such as the image, the publication time, etc.

        I've seen some sites explicitly markup video content on the page. Looks nice in the search results and probably drives more clicks.
        And of course this helps search engines better understand their site.
