I want to understand if my SEO strategy is optimal compared to others.
I have 60 posts and, getting 'higher 40s' search traffic a day, on week ends its 'higher 20s to lower 30s' .
Do you want to share your numbers?
I know ratio of number of posts to number of search traffic is not accurate measurement of SEO performance, but should give very close picture.
I hope my last topic on 'Compete rank' did help others and this one also should help others.

Hmmm…I'm not quiet sure how it correlates, but here you go. The thing to remember is that search is targeted. I would estimate that 5 posts account for 90% of my search traffic.
I have 217 posts currently, and search accounts for 70% of my traffic. At about 300 visitors per day, that is 210 from search.

there is a correlation between pages and searches, but there is no science around that at all. more content = more chances to be found for long tail keywords. that said, if your pages are well optimized and targeting appropriate keywords, you are likely going to get hoards of traffic for a relatively small amount of posts

That does make sense Sunil. Basically, if I have more content, the odds are higher! But each post can almost be like a niche site if you target it right!

I have 92 published posts, which generated 1400 search engine visits in the past 30 days. Some of these posts aren't particularly SEO-able; round-ups and blog carnivals probably make up 10 of these posts.
So maybe 80 (at the most) real content pages and 46.6 visits per day.

I prefer to understand my seo strategy as concentrating on promoting a single few posts. For example, I specifically target 3-5 posts, and those 3-5 posts typically account for 75% of my search traffic.

I have 480 post with 450 searches per day….however, that number is very skewed as over the last two days I have received 2800 and 1,616 searches. This has thrown the numbers upward, but I am hoping this is a trend.
I would argue the number of post written is not as important as the number of page indexed in the search engines. You can write all the post you can handle, but if they don't index in the various search engines then it is pointless.
Good luck to you all!

I wish it would be that simple!
I have over 1,000 articles on 2 of my blogs and one of them is averaging 350-400 SE visits per day and the latter is getting over 700 SE visits per day.
It all depends which kind of post you are writing too. Some post gets a lot of comments but don't get much SE trafic. For example, one of my latest post; Cutting On Your Starbucks Won't Make You Rich got a lot of direct and referal hits but won't rank for anything in Google.
on the other side, I have a smaller niche website (what is a dividend) that has about 50 pages and gets 20-30 SE visit per day after only a few months and no backlinking strategy yet…

The key I have found is to have 5-10 posts highly optimized. They will drive your traffic and SEO which in turn runs the rest of your site. They will also bring in your most adsense revenue.

I about 175 posts and I typically get about 100 visits per day from searches. Like others have said, most of these searches result in viewing only a few of my articles.

No, it was the same. You may want to check your posts to see if they are still ranking as high in the search engines.

Make sure you are logged out of google when you search. Otherwise you are getting results based on your google reader subscriptions, twitter friends, youtube pals etc.
My SE traffic has increased recently but mainly because I capitalized on an incoming search term
If I only have one traffic getting tip this is it.
1) Pay attention to the incoming search terms
2) write an SEO post using that topic (as long as it fits in with your blog topic) and title it to match the most searched incoming search term.

I have around 1900 posts and get about 400 visitors through search engines a typical week day. That's what my WP stats plugin records them at anyways.
More posts, more chances, I figure, but even though it only takes one post to become popular in the search engines, I think it helps to have a blog full of supporting posts. I mean, it's unlikely your 3rd post ever is going to get huge search traffic when first written (although it could happen), but after you write 500 posts and build up your blog, it's more likely that 3rd post or 403rd post will have a higher search presence, due to numerous factors.
However, it's up to the Google gods, so I just try to make my daily sacrificial posts and hope for the best.
