As long as you like it that's the main thing. If one other person likes it as well then that's even better. So 1.

Count the number of letters in the name of your skin.

Multiply it by the number of bytes in the skin size.

Divide this by pi.

Now take this value and add to it the number of colors in your skin. If your skin uses blue then add an additional 17 to the total.

This will give you a base line value for the skin popularity.

Multiply the result by your height (in units of inches).

If the result is less than the number of the skin 's downloads then you have a succesful skin.

if one person likes your work enough to download it and share in the thing that you have made, then it is a raving success.

PJPowell is spot on IMHO.
I make skins for myself to use and if anybody else likes them, that's great.

It's usual when you upload a skin, this have a lot of downloads (by other skinners, i think). It's a good skin if it has a minimum of downloads any day, over 20 in Wincustomize Winamp section, over 100 in Winamp.com.
In my opinion, the minimum it's 69
