Hmmm... well- I suppose that depends. For me, I shoot for about 400 people every 3 days. Keep up the good work! -
are you talking about number of visitors? i thought page views. 400 in 2 months, can't say anything. don't worry, everything starts small. sometimes it drops like hell. -
It's a great start! But more important than hits, are the people visiting. Do they stay a while? read, comment? That's more important.-
yes, agree with anok. the visitor time spent is always the most important. I don't like people turn their head to the right and by accident says "oh its Stories" and they just turn their head then to the left. Love Stories(my blog name) because people reading it(the most: up to 45:35 min yesterday, don't know what that person do that long, maybe browser hanged
)even the visit is too small everyday. till now, Stories have 5 blog post. -
Anok is a blog scholar hidden behind the clothing of the Shinobi. Yes its a great start, I have a few new blogs on the go and a number have not reached 400 yet and they are four or five weeks old (im not one for active advertising I wait for the G to do it for me).
The most important thing about visitors is that they stay, read and decide to come back over and over.
Over time if you keep posting you will find your visitors and pageviews goes up and your reader base (if they like your writing) will go up along with it.
My weight lifting blog received just under 18000 visitors with 23021 pageviews in January, but only 8% of these are my regular reader base, the rest come and read then shuffle on their way through the blogging world. -
*Aww shucks, I'm blushing*

Terriffic! Here's a little something that can help you monitor your blog's activity. Keep up the good work!

Try Google Analytics. It bases off your Google account and is totally free. It's great for slicing and dicing traffic info. For a specific interest blog like yours, aim for 1,000 visits and maybe 1,600 page views over six weeks. Post daily; tag your content only once, so you don't hurt your visibility with Google's search algorithms. Figure out the keywords of where you want to appear in Google searches with Google Insight; start incorporating those terms into your text, headers, URLs, etc. Track your posts with the blog function of Google News. Are they appearing? And participate in social networking sites like this one. It all adds up over time. Good luck! -
It completely depends on what your goals are. If your a social blogger and don't bother with the draws of monetizing then that is OK. If your looking to make money with your blog, times that figure a few times and make it daily as a minimum.
I started my blog 2 months ago and average 100 - 150 visitors a day and over 460 pageviews. However 50% of my traffic is from search engines.-
Timmim is absolutely right. It depends on what your ultimate stragtegy is -- high traffic or a dedicated readership that lingers on your blog because of the content. I gave an "apples and oranges" comparison, because my blog is ultimately a business blog, with different goals. However, the techniques and tools I mentioned are all still applicable to your case.

Holy cow! I have been blogging for 3 months now (its a personal blog) and have only had 41 visitors the entire time.-
Still thinking--have you listed your blog in all the directories? There are quite a few! That really helped me. I have also found a lot of new readers by doing entrecard. Not everyone likes using entrecard but I take it for what it's worth and it has definitely increased traffic. And for me, the more traffic, the more awareness I can raise for my cause, which is a good thing!

It's great! Yuor blog is very nice, but i checked- You don't have added descryption and keywords, what will make Your blog visible for search engines like Google. It very simple to add that, look at online-income-opportunities-vorsta.blogspot.com/2009/02/meta-tags-are-ident...
Enjoy! -
How can you find out how long people are staying on your blog. Any tips for keyword and what not.-
sign up for Google Analytics, or if you are self-hosting have a look at the webstats for your domain.

s'not good, s'not bad.
Better than many, but could still be better and it will increase over time as long as you keep blogging. If you have 400 people spending an hour on your blog, I'd consider that much better than 4,000 people spending 30 seconds - 1 minute on your blog. The ones who spend a while are likely to come back.-
thanks for the Google thing!

thanks for your help everyone, i mostly just enjoy putting things on it but the amout of readers im gettting now, and repeat readers is growing, im surprised by it to be honest.
Ive alot to learn but its all fun at the minute. -
How many of 400 visits are bots searching your site? Use analytics or statcounter. Any visits with a length of 0 seconds don't count. -
You can do better. Return the favor when people comment on you, do proper promotion, etc. You update very often so there's no problem about that. -
I did much worse..... i only have 74 views on my blog after 8 months. -
Good start ...
mine are worst ... -
