115,000+ is a good number for now. If we keep going like that, we will beat the 2,000,000 page views total this year  . |
Yes bots are definately part of the equation since we are now an established website (nearly 2 years old), with tons of content (most of it original in nature) as well as climbing the pages for our targeted keywords on the SERPS.
You will notice though that spiders and search engines are not the majority of our traffic, much of it is direct link and/or bookmarks meaning we have a lot of member activity and we've obviously been bookmarked by a large number of lurkers (getting larger).
As we climb the SERPS (Search Engine Result Pages), look for the traffic to steadily increase. I'm not sure if we'll hit 2,000,000 this year but 1,000,000 looks like it's definately in the bag. I'm guessing we'll hit somewhere between 1,250,000 - 1,500,000 this year which makes for very exciting prospects come 07.
