I was going to ask, how much traffic is too much? but after seeing Matt's reply I think I am safe for now!

I would be interested to learn more about Rob Scott's upscaling etc. My box seems OK for the moment, low traffic I guess. But I do worry about the future.

So far I have hard coded (not sure if that is the right term, I am not a techy) some stuff in the themes, like the URLs and categories, to reduce DB lookups (I read that somewhere….).

For me, WP is great. I am not a developer, and I started out with zero budget. I was using static pages, then Blogger FTP, and then finally WordPress. I would like to stick with it now, as the thought of moving to something else is terrifying!

Yes, WordPress may not have the best database structure you would like if you built it ground up right now (caveats all over the place) but, with a little work, it can scale pretty effectively – or, put simply, effectively enough for the 99% of websites which are smaller than ours.

If you can't afford $250 a month on hosting for the scales we are talking here, then you should sell your busy website to me, or give up.

The database is poorly structured, but so what, it works for most people. For free. Great news for starting projects (as you rightly point out (a climb down?) above.

Nearly half of the blogs run with the “most blog like permalink” /year/month/date/postname/… Many blogging platforms run that as default, and the top blogs post several times a day, so it makes sense.

All this doesn't make /year/month/date/* best for SEO, or best for anything, but it's what people are used to, so that might make someone think it's the best overall. But saying /%postname%/ is not good is just plain stupid.

I appreciate that you reply to a polemic rant with so nicely put irony, and friendliness. <br><br>I highly doubt that <a href="http://en.blog.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">your blog</a>, or any single blog hosted on <a href="http://wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">wordpress.com</a>, attracts 1.8 billion page views per month. You're comparing apples and oranges. If I'd install WordPress with a few plug-ins on a pretty fast box and publish tens of thousands of categorized and tagged pages and posts attracting a gazillion comments, what do you think how much traffic it can take?
