   I started with about 25 a day. In a few months is was up to 100. It has been since February and my record high was 336 UPV. My average now is about 250 per day. Those are unique visitors not pageviews. Those are in the 600s per day.

   i have none. I don't know when people started coming to my blog but i have a feeling BC has something to do with it. I am content since most of my posts have at least one comment. But then again I am blogging for different reasons than most.

   Question: How much web traffic do you expect to see on any given day?
   Answer: I don't wish to share that with you as our blogs aren't related and mine have been around for a longer period of time. Posting the number would not be useful to you and would me me sound like a braggart.
   
   Question: How long was it before you started to see regular traffic to your new blog.
   
   Answer: It's been a couple of years since I began a new blog so my memories are vague when it comes to numbers. I began it first on a wordpress. com subdomain and received traffic immediately from the wordpress. com global tag pages as I had properly tagged my posts. Within the week I began to get traffic from search engines. After a strong flow of organic traffic was in evidence I purchased a domain and domain mapping so the links would not be broken and the PageRank would not be affected.
   
   Question: Are you content with the current flow of traffic to your blog?
   
   Answer: I'm always seeking more targeted readers and I don't expect that to ever change.
   
   When it comes to ensuring that you have taken all the steps required to establish a targeted orgnic (unpaid) traffic flow to a new blog I think I can help. When you have a new blog it may take up to 6 months before it's indexed. The first thing to be sure of is that you have registered with search engines, secured a Google webmasters account, generated a site map and submitted it. If you read this reference post in the BC New Users Group you will find instructions.

   Among one of the most important things a blogger with a new blog can do is to develop a blog strategy. In the reference post I will link to below you will find the positive factors that Google’s algorithm takes into consideration when determining PageRank, and the negative factors as well.

   Once you have done those things the next thing to focus on is creating blog content and applying basic SEO techniques. The reason why is simple. You can have the best content in the world but if it can't be found by potential readers using search engines your traffic will not increase. This is a brief list and following it you will find a link to a reference post where you will find detailed instructions.

   There is a post in the BC New Users Group that provides 13 very basic traffic promotion tips that will help when it comes to establishing a traffic flow. www.blogcatalog.com/group/new-blog-catalog-users/discuss/entry/more-traffic...

   When it comes to promoting a new blog in any social media site it's of crucial importance for bloggers to understand that their profile page is the number one advertising spot. Therefore, ensuring that you have developed a Personal Profile that identifies your expertise in a niche is important to any viewers of that page. Of even more importance is developing an accurate blog description so potential readings viewing your profile page know what to expect to find in your blog.
