Creating a top 200 website

2 points by Dramatize ↗ HN
I've been thinking about what it takes to create a top 200 website.

These elements seem the most important:

- Large set of permanent of content (travel, wiki, imdb) - Endorphin hit content (news, images, Reddit) - Ego boosts for users (flickr, Pinterest, tumblr)

Am I missing anything?
