Is this realistic or I will fail ?

Hello,
My Wordpress-bades website gets about 150 visitors a day right now.

99% of posts are product reviews - with about 8-10 outbound Amazon affiliate links per post/page.The content itself is about 400-450 words per post. High quality content. I post about 6-8 product reviews a day (takes me about 4 hours).

Can I expect getting 800-1000 visitors a day after 6 month? I mainly do on-page SEO, no off-page SEO. Keep in mind that after 6 month my website will have about ~1300 posts ! (All of them are at least 400 words long ).

Thanks !

    That's really hard to say even if the data was better.

    Does all of your traffic come from search engines? How do your reviews fare in the search results? Does the ranking drop after initial boost, or does it stay constant?

    If your new and old posts rank, and your traffic increases in fairly linear manner - well, why not. However, that tends to not be the case for many sites. It makes me worry that you claim high quality, but also say that you churn out a short piece in 30 mins or probably less. There's reviews that take hours to put together in certain industries.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

      All the traffic is from search engines - %95 is Google.
      The ranking of most posts does increases over time.

      The traffic does seem to increase from month to month- but there are also sudden drops, since some products I review become less trendy and less people search for them. That's why i'm worried..

      Regarding the content - the CTR (and the conversion rate on Amazon Affiliate) on my pages is very high. The content is for users and for Google - ranking purposes.

        Neil wrote a great article about content length you should read here: https://www.quicksprout.com/2012/12/...d-conversions/

        No one can tell you how much traffic you'll be getting. There are just to many variables. Such as, what's the search volume of all your KW's now and in the future and many other issues like this.

        It does sound feasible though. But no one can tell you and be even close to accurate.

    Right now , MANY of my posts are ranked at the second page of google, when checking the SERP.

    Does adding "high quality" content daily, can alone move my posts to the first page of Google? (after let's say 6 month).

      Google doesn't rank sites, it ranks pages.

      So, if your pages are on page 2 of Google they won't move to much just because you add more content to your site. You'll need off page factors like back-links etc...

      Now, before someone argues with me that more content won't "necceisarliy" help, I know that more people on your site means better rankings, more shares and back-links.

      Yes, that's true. So, in that slow as molasses way you could get them to rank higher over time, but not quickly or reliably.

    High quality amazon product reviews is an oxymoron.
    High quality would be in the eye of the author, no doubt.

    Yeah. 1300 articles at 800 visitors a day, means, perhaps,
    800 articles get one lousy visitor a day, 500 get none.

    Now, how is one going to succeed at that?

    Now 800 visitors daily to one article, well, you'd have something.

    I would vomit after writing a dozen product reviews.
    If I ever decide to do 1300+, just shoot me now.

    If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.
