How Long Does It Take to See Traffic Results from Blogging?
Thank you for visiting!
We'd love to see you back again. You can subscribe by RSS feed, or get updates by email.
You can see your first traffic from blogging literally overnight, mostly from your initial pinging, Will it be a lot of traffic? Not necessarily. If you post at the right time of day for your site, you may see as many as 100 visitors come to your blog in its first day, due to a new blog post, just from pinging. You can see more than that if you let your existing traffic know about your blog.
After a certain number of posts, to lay the foundation of an active feed, you will also start to see a trickle of traffic from promoting your RSS feed or blog in directories and feed-specfic search engines. That can happen as soon as three days in, and sometimes after 7 to 10 days. The timing you can expect will depend on your blog.
You can see your first search engine results from blogging in as little as a week. With the combination of methods I teach, it really does take just a week to start seeing your initial first page rankings. Will this mean that suddenly thousands of people come to your site as a result of that ranking?
Not yet.
The first results are like poking a hole in the side of a dam. A little trickle of traffic will come flowing out - that’s the immediate, apparent effect. The slower, more dramatic effects happen over the course of the first 80 - 180 days, depending on the difficulty of your keywords, your volume and frequency of quality content, and your persistence in keeping up your linking efforts.
The one thing you’ll need to understand about blogging for business reasons is that when your intentions are tied to your business, you aren’t going to get a lot of general b2b traffic, or general consumer traffic, which means you probably aren’t going to become one of blogging’s superstars. But if you really take the time to know your client base, you will become admired and respected by them, which is what really matters.

I think it isn’t easy to promote one’s blog these days due to “nofollow” being used on most sites. I just started up a blog 12 days ago and am writing about health issues which interest me a great deal. I have a belief that one will not see substantial traffic for several months. The only true way to get a lot of blog traffic is to write quality content. If you are writing because you want the ad revenue, you are doomed to fail, but if you write first and foremost because you love to write and produce quality content at the same time, eventually you will get lots of visitors and revenue. Those are just my thoughts.

I get random traffic here and there, and there’s a good deal of content on the blog, but nothing overwhelming. Any advice? I follow the basics–keyword specific content, well-written content, internal links to other postings, to other sites and blogs, but nothing overwhelming yet (this is month 4). What else is there to do besides promoting on other blogs via links, etc? (without having to pay)
