How long for quality traffic?

It really depends on the keywords you are targeting and how you rank against your competitors. It will take a long time to start getting regular good SEO traffic.

You are dependent on Google ranking your pages and competing with all the other health sites for keywords in the SERPs.

Keep track of the keywords you are targeting. Keep track of your rankings in Google. Keep track of your competition and competitor rankings. Keep pumping the SEO (i.e. quality backlinks).

Once you are getting traffic, how does it convert? Cold SEO traffic to a page with affiliate links does not always perform well. The traffic is not targeted enough and often does not have enough exposure and pre-sales info to buy on a first visit/search.

You will need a LOT of traffic.

Faster and better results can be had with a strong squeeze page to capture emails and a good pre-sales and sales autoresponder series.

Once you have a good funnel and autoresponder series, you can concentrate on sending traffic to your funnel/squeeze page and tweak for conversions.

Paid traffic is much faster than SEO/Google Search and can be much more targeted.

Facebook and Bing are both platforms that bring quality traffic and can reach much more targeted traffic tied to your customer demographics. You can adjust your audience and daily spend to manage your budget.

Once you tweak the funnel so it gets a positive ROI, you can scale up profitable campaigns and stop losing ones. Your advertising should pay for itself as well as provide a positive cash flow.

You can get quality traffic right now (literally) if you're willing to pay for advertising. This is the main model of promotion in my business. Free marketing is good and works, but if you want instant results.... do paid advertising. Don't be afraid to spend $3,000 in one week on advertising.

It sounds like you are doing a lot of things right and I know it can be disheartening to be doing so much work and not seeing instant results. Persistence is key!

It's hard to say a specific time frame because it's different for every keyword and niche, though instead of worrying about the traffic, while maintaining your content strategy focus on getting your site in top condition for when you do start pulling in more people.

It has to do more with the value of the content itself, rather than how long it is.

The vague answer is: it depends on how hard your want to work, meaning how much real and relevant content can be created and how much competition there is for your key word phrases. Also, how big is your niche? If no one would ever search for your desired niche, you may never be found.

A concrete answer: 100 unique organic visits daily in almost any niche topic can be acquired in about three to four months. However, it depends on the quality of your content.

I've never used a tool or anything, but there have been times where I've started a completely new site after I saw the gravity going up and started making sales after 12 days. I don't have lists that I mail out to for my smaller niche sites, and they totally rely on search engine traffic. With a new site, it might be 4 or 5 days before I start getting search engine traffic. Then, it builds.

It all depends on how good your content and marketing are. Personally, I'd use great tips, combined with lead gen service like Promobrite.com and wait a month or two for results.

Ok so....

Stop using Pingler and any other shitty automated traffic tools.

There are 2 ways to get instant traffic (not including social).

1. Buy it, Facebook, adwords, Bing, billions of other traffic networks
2. Referral traffic, get some of your stuff published on sites where you audience already are

These 2 methods could get you traffic tomorrow if you went about it right.

The problem with bounce rate is also one of two things:
1. Poor traffic relevancy
2. Poor content

This is why I'm a paid traffic advocate, send targeted traffic to your content, see how well it works, make changes to improve it.

Then send traffic again, once you have a working page then it's worth putting effort into SEO.

In the long term, here's how you grow your site...

You'll gain visitors almost instantly but you should add social sharing into the mix of your posts if possible. You wont really see any search engine traffic till you continue posting for the next few months and even up to a year before you start to see a flow. Treat is good don't try any black hat BS you'll kick yourself in the butt later for not treating your site right after putting so much work into it.

If you have the money you can always use google adwords and get instant LAZER targeted traffic. That way you can figure out if the niche you are is profitable then you can work on your SEO campaign. But you should try the best of both worlds

SEO/PPC = amazing!
