Will I receive traffic from Google without doing anything?

    I have created a blog with around 2000 blog posts. I had read somewhere that if you have more content you can get more traffic from search engine without doing anything. Can anybody tell me about this.

    Naturally if you have more content, chances of search engine finding your site should be higher. However, not sure about what you meant by not having to do anything....adding content itself is already a long tedious process :)

    You will get nothing if your site contains nothing.

    But with some useful contents, more traffic will come from Google!

    You might get a visitor or two, but why make 2000 blog posts and then do nothing about it?

    Yes, if your have 2000 unique quality content, you will get some traffic from SE
    However, if you do something, you might get double or more than that

    Depending on what type of blog you have, how useful it is for real people out there and how old the blog is. Next, did you just stuff the blog with loads of content or are you going to accumulate things gradually by updating?

    2000 is quite a big amount of posts and the content must be much more than crappy if you don't get any traffic from SEs, no matter what your niche is :)

    Definitely especially if your site is seo optimized. I have small sites getting 20+ uniques a day and they only contain 5 posts. But they rank well for certain keywords and are decently optimized.

    Yes, I think it is stupid to do nothing with site which have 2k+ unique posts... Make more links to internal pages with main keyword of post... Put meta tags like keywords/description and so :)

    If you have very good and quality content, then people would naturally want to link back to you and this would increase your backlinks. And you will do well in Google.

    It's hard to give you an answer to your question it is vague. If by do nothing you mean just write and not do link building that would not be a good approach.

    Links are the main factor in google ranking algorithm so i would at the very least suggest some organ search link building. Start off with some article submissions and article blogs. That is legit.

    Put anther way, writing orginal content + link building is better than only writing original content.

    This is genernal rule of thumb, your search results will depend on a wide range of factors.

    I think you still need some little aid like bookmarking every post you have in your blog. =)

    If your blogs using Blogspot, Wordpress, ... you will have some traffic. Google search and index blogs in Blogspot and Wordpress. Yahoo search and index their own blogs 360.yahoo.com first. Live.com do the same.

    Of course, your blog must be open to public and allow search engine to search. If your blog marks as private, search engine will not visit and no one know.

    Use google analytics or even statscounter and see whether the search engines including google are sending traffic your way. Analyse the keywords which bring traffic to your site and work on it.

    1. How can you get traffic from Google if you do not have a site/blog?-So, you should have a site or blog in the first place.
    2. You have a site/blog, but, you are not going to post any content? - So, whats the real use in purchasing a domain name and setting up a site/blog when you dont post anything and do not wish to share anything.
    3. Ok, you have a site/blog and you post information/content regularly? - So, when you are posting regularly, there is no point why you are posting if you dont want any one to read the content.
    4. But, I am getting traffic from Google even when I am not doing anything other than posting info on my site? - So, that means, Google has found some unique content on your site which it is serving up to searchers.

    Now, monetize.
