This document discusses managing expectations for traffic levels. It notes that some people expect more traffic than is reasonably possible given their site, keywords, or competition. The author will be honest about odds of success rather than promise unrealistic results. If a high traffic goal like 3300 daily visitors is not attainable as hoped, the options are to change the traffic source expectations, invest heavily in advertising, re-evaluate the business model, or improve conversion rates to adapt to the situation. Something must change to enable the desired outcome.

Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Traffic pt 3
Sometimes the issue is that folks think they should get more traffic than logic can reasonably provide.
For example, a person might look up a popular keyword and see that a good ranking would get them 3300 visitors a day. So
they call me up or write me and ask how I can get their site to that level.
And the problem can be any number of things. Maybe their site has nothing to do with the topic of that keyword, and so
wouldn't rank no matter what kind of tricks I did. Perhaps the competition for that keyword is so fierce that it's practically
implausible that they'd get it on their own within less than 2 years. Or maybe they want to compete a static site against top
ranking dynamic sites.
I'll never say anything is impossible. But I will give the fair odds before I'll take on an assignment. If It can be done but I'm not
the one to do it, I'll refer them to friends or colleagues of mine, as there's enough business in my industry for plenty of
effective, ethical people and companies.
But if it isn't probable under the current circumstances, I'll tell it to you straight.
IF you find yourself in a situation where you need 3300 visitors a day to stay afloat, and you find out that the traffic isn't
attainable the way you'd like to get it, you've either change your mind about where those visitors have to come from, borrow
the needed cash to invest in heavy advertising, re-evaluate your business model, or increase your conversion rate.
In other words, something has to change. For the reaction you want to occur, there has to be an equal and opposite action
first. So, that's easy. Make it happen.
Just not by trying to fit square pegs into round holes
