Your domain can be lying there for years without any promotion, and even if there is content, there will be no traffic. On the other hand, some sites out there have the most terrible content, but their owners are great marketers :) Of course, the best combination would be great content + great marketing... which eats up a lot of time and effort!

It's the amount of SE friendly content that bring about the increase of organic search engine traffic. So the quicker you build up your content in a "natural" pace, the more traffic you'll see from Google and Yahoo. Writing 2 or 3 posts daily for 6 months would be an acceptable pace. Typically, it will take 3 to 6 months for a new domain to be "stabilized". However, if you could get links from relevant authoritative sites, then you'll be able to see quicker result. Hi DigBack,

My blog took off after about 13 months. Got good traffic. I think a lot of it is Google sees that your site is older too, and they give you a better ranking possibly?
