I would say it took about a year and a half. Because I remember it was January of 2007 when my rankings just shot up in Google. In December 2006 I had about 700 visits per day and then in January 07 it went up to 1100 per day because of Google traffic. I remember that part distinctly because I had never had a site's traffic suddenly increase like that. I didn't have many pages... maybe 25 or so? I can't really recall.

I always hesitate to get into pages and comparisons because you can't really use someone else's traffic as a benchmark. As I said in a recent video I did about my SBI! traffic, I started that site 4 years ago and everything is going to vary depending on your niche, etc. To be honest, it really isn't always about the number of pages. My SBI! site only has like 46 or 48 pages right now.

I am ranking very well for a lot of different long-tail keywords (30,000+ to be exact) and that's really what is feuling that traffic.
