    That will depend on the keyword and your ranking. If the keyword is hot even you have a low ranking sometime will bring more traffic then not so popular keyword with a high rank.

    You guys rocking. 250+!!! Wow. I have to learn some SEO.
    From my limited experience, it takes quite a bit of time for search engines generate good amount of organic traffic. Yahoo always give me some traffic, about 15/day. Which I believe not good.

    Hi
    Here are a my suggestions:

    1) Make sure that your customers know about your website. Publish your URL everywhere you can (directories, forums).

    2) Offer discounts to offline customers when they order online in your website, that will atract them to visit your site again.

    3) Who are the leaders in your niche online? Draw up a list and make sure they know about your site. Offer to exchange links, articles, or content. If they have forums or blogs, participate in the discussion.

    4) Write articles and publish them everywhere. Use content syndication sites, as well as contacting webmasters and offering them ‘free’ content with a link back to you.

    5) Contact friends, family, customers, suppliers (anybody) and make sure they know about your site. Also you can the link to your site.

    6) Submit your content to social bookmarking sites. You could open accounts and submit your content.

    To get traffic from any SE you need content, lots and lots of content, then you'll get picked up more often :)

    I have no idea how to work yahoo, but I'm getting about 1000 visits monthly from there, whereas I'm getting 10000 visits monthly from Google.

    More content! :)

    Frankly speaking, blogging in "nofollow" is helpful for Yahoo, which doesn't work for Google.
