It all depends on how you marketing the things. Usually, people go with search engine optimization as a primary online marketing model. Anyways, it depends on the niche you've choose and competition it has.
It really depend upon the area where you are posting your articles. Generally one receives upto 100 visitors per day from it. But if your area of posting is right , then you would have more targeted traffic
depending on your nich but it all comes down to how interesting you write your articles and also what you have to offer your readers. The best way to do this is by tracking actions so you can do the math your self example; 20articles x 4visits/day x 30days x 12 months = 29,000 visits.
8-12 hours per day writing articles will see you with a lot of articles. Creating the content and spending time doing so is one thing but you then need to promote and construct it with SEO thoughts in mind. Content sitting within a blog is useless unless people are reading/sharing and the articles are being promoted. with good content and work you could look at a lot of traffic
The best way to deal with this is writing niche targeted articles. Use GoogleKeyWordToolExternal, and search for potential keywords. Use wordpress plugins like All in OneSEO etc., and make sure you target the right keywords along with your articles. I'm sure they'll start ranking at some place in Google, and when you'll make their backlinks on EzineArticles or similar sites, they're rankings against specific set of keywords you've chosen, would increase day by day. And eventually, you'll be getting some sort of "permanent" traffic from Google.
It's exhausting to consitently write great articles. I'd focus on putting a few great ones out rather than dozens of mediocre ones.
Article writing is a waste of time! Paid ads is the way to go. Start with PPC then scale to media buys.
You can get 20 visitors a day pretty easily. Just use a good long tail keyword that suits your niche.
that depends on the quality and interest of article's content. moreover you can not get traffic suddenly.
Depend on you. how many visitor do you want? i suggest you article marketing or social bookmarking is great source to increase visitors.
Depends on your skills. There is no easy answer here. If you can get a head start on popular topics you can attract people with a blog. You could also create some google groups, social bookmarks and other stuff that a SEO campaign would do for you. Doing the site marketing on your own will not bring a lot of people at once. You can attract a small number of people that would then, assuming they like what they see, spread the word and bring you more visitors.
I think it depends on the type of content that you write on those aritcles, the type of niche you are positioning yourself in, the places you submit those articles to, there are many different variables out there that play an important role in sending people to visit your site, as said by the other members in this forum.
