Do my hits per day look small in this dress?

(aussies and poms will get the heading pretty quickly, not sure if its humour that others know of)

I've managed to get ave 50 hits per day on my blog and now with a few tweeks and a link from another source, in the last 2 days I'm getting 200 hits per day. Primarily I'm listing build on this site ... I've got 2 questions
Blog is run primarily from twitter hits
Niche is quite vague, focuses on twitter usability and apps primarily

My 2 questions are thus
- is 50 to 200 hits per day low for hits?
- what should the conversion into subscriptions be for this many hits

I've had list building in place for approx 3 months and have around 75 - 80 subscribers.

I'm sure the result is relative to the structure and vagueness of my niche. I've not really settled on products either, another issue.

How many subscribers are you trying to get? "As many as possible" is as vague as your subject and doesn't get you any closer to an answer.

If you don't have a plan for what you're going to do with these subscribers, you're just spinning your wheels. You should have a goal. Then just work backwards from that goal.

I.e. you want to make $300 per month from this list from a $30 product -- 10 sales per month -- at 2% conversion, you need 500 new subscribers per month or 17 per day -- at 10% conversion on your squeeze page, that's 170 visitors per day.

- what should the conversion into subscriptions be for this many hits

Now that's really the key.

Twitter traffic is usually very poor. You'll likely see low conversions both on your squeeze page and with your offer. This, of course, changes the above math significantly.

You'd have higher conversion with targeted traffic. You'd increase conversions even more if your page were speaking to this targeted crowd.

Unfortunately, your traffic is very untargeted from a relatively poor source and your page lacks focus. You'll have to use very conservative numbers until you have a large enough sample to accurately estimate.

Thank you Kelly, I'm going to re-read your response as many times as it takes for that to sink in - in essence I get it ...

Opt-in rate is going to depend on two things, the quality of your landing page/offer, and the quality of the traffic.

Customize the landing page as much as you can. Mention twitter("Welcome Twitter Visitor") and give away something free for opting in(ebook, podcast, members only area, etc).

Based on my opt-in rates for similar traffic, you should expect atleast 30% opt-in
