Taking a site from 50 people a day to 10,000 a day - in 1 year

[joanna]

I guess I'm kind of warming them up now while I get my own ebook written

Actually most of my searches are the diet name (exact phrase 40%), diet name + recipes, and similar followed by long tail for individual recipes. That said searches make up 63.8% (today's stat) of my traffic source.

Any ways I'm not sure if the site is entirely scalable as with it being that specific there's a limited audience.

As for social, I'm thinking of making a facebook app, but it's one of those things when I have the technical skills, but not quite a concept of what the app should do. So need more research in that area...

sure, its scalable, just repeat with a different diet program.

Update- This week I hit around 230 people in one day and was consistently above 150+, Yesterday my traffic tanked again. All my serp positions are back 100+ places. The whole front page keeps constantly shuffling. I am going to build some more links and try hitting #1.

You're probably right about that, though I think I'm to honest for my own good. Would find it hard to promote/sell things I don't believe in myself or haven't tried myself or at least seen results from a friend or something

Thinking of scaling up though, rather than a different diet will try to go for the whole low carb group.

Don't worry too much, "dieting traffic" often sinks on Fridays (+weekends), plus the Royal Wedding probably shares some of your target audience

I wish, traffic tanked because my keyword positions got pushed from positions 4-5 to positions 100+ . If traffic fell and I was still at those positions It would be fine with me.

traffic is around 70 a day range now. Main rankings are still doing very poorly. I expect rankings to recover within the next few days. As for site work, haven't build any links in a week or posted content. Really need to do some work.

This weeks plan: Write 5 posts + build some links

Been a while since I updated. I haven't given up yet, but the last Google panda updated destroyed my site. Was in sandbox for a good month. Haven't been building links/content, which I should have been doing. My site seems to have recovered from the panda on it's own though; so here the update:

Hope it stays steady, plan on blasting a ton of links + content to it soon.

You may want to change your goal to 50 paying customers to 10,000 paying customers instead of 50 visitors to 10,000 visitors.
