    My blog has been running for a month now and I only get around 20-40 visitors a day which isn't bad for me but doesn't get me any clicks. I have mostly been working on writing good articles every couple days. My goal is to get around 100 visitors a day. Anyone know how long this will take and what I can do to get there faster? Thanks!Here is my blog: http://vitalmedia.blogspot.com/ Once I earn enough, I am probably going to upgrade to wordpress and buy hosting.

    Better seo and marketing people are not just going to find your site without both.

    Post thoughtful relevant on forums and blogs Leaving a link to your site when allowed(Backlinks), Bookmark your site on Multiple bookmarking sites(http://socialposter.com/),
    Submit your site to directories(http://www.imtalk.org/cmps_index.php?pageid=IMT-Website-Submitter), Make a youtube channel Etc... Etc.. Google "Best way to get lots of free traffic to website). You have to Promote you site as the poster above me so eloquently stated.. people are not just going to find your site. The Internet is VAST.

    I know I haven't really started to actually market my site and get backlinks and stuff. I am just wondering how long it actually took people to get 100 people per day or more. Two months? A couple days?

    Never, If the don't do some kind of Marketing and Promotion...Simply put.. Be it manually or Paid Marketing..Not Being Mean but You reeealy must not realize how site traffic works To ask the Question they way you are...There is no Significant Auto-Progression of Traffic without Promotion... Again it depends on how they're promoting the site to get visitors,whether it's by SEO Or word of mouth..If you don't promote you Might get a straggler here and there AND The type of promotion will determine how fast you get that 100 people per day or more you speak of. Good Luck and start promoting Your Site..NOW!

    it depends on how good you are, some people can make more than 100 Uv per day just after the blog launched. You gotta work out on both social media and SEO to generate traffic

    I have generated some good traffic by writing articles and submitting them to the article directories. If you have only been at this a month, know this, it doesn't happen overnight. Hang in there, read, learn and apply. Then do it again.

    well,.. I'm sure these day hosting more cheaper and also you can give a try a free one with a lot feature, but for domain you get around $1,00 (.iNFO)

    for increase your traffic,. I suggest keep on writing the article regularly

    There is no fixed time to get better page rank on search engine and traffic. You have to continue promoting of your site and wait some days for getting good results.

    I agree with having to promote your site. I remember my friend putting his blog link on his Youtube videos, forums to get more views. I mean if visitors or viewers will like your blog they will keep coming and they will probably tell their friends about it etc. Thinking of setting up my own blog also when I have the time to get it up and running.

    It does not matter how many visitors you get if they do not click or read. So get good content uodate it a lot and you will be on your way.

    100 visitors/day are not enough, you need hundreds or even thousands of visitors per day to get decent adsense revenue. Keep on learning, you'll know how and it's not too difficult.

    One way is if you are getting 20-40 visitors a day from writing an article every couple of days, then tripling your article output might also triple your visitors

    To get decent traffic (100UV/day) you have to update with articles which people want. So while doing so, do some research and then actually write the blog post.

    It probably also depends on the keywords you're using to bring in traffic. I don't know a lot about it but I remember reading once or twice that not all traffic is created equal and some keywords have a better chance of bringing in clicks than others.

    However, ultimately it took me, without much marketing, about 1-3 months to bring in 20-40 visitors when I started and about a year to bring in 1000-2000 visitors a day, but I was very slack about it all and could've probably done much better had I marketed more.
