Hello everyone.

Me and a couple buddies decided to create a website about a month ago where we could talk about anything that was current and in a manner that we wanted.

We are trying to see where we stand but we can't find any information on what is a good starting point in terms of visits, pageviews, etc.

According to google analytics after 30 days we have 7,889 pageviews, 1,458 visits, 5.41 pages/visits, 34% bounce rate, and 54% New Visits.

The link is REMOVED and any insight or advice would be awesome so we can gauge our progress.

All meaningless numbers.

The only thing that would mean ANYTHING to such a website would be the links the pages garner NATURALLY!

Good traffic and you can get high position in short time.

You do know that traffic is not a factor in SERP...right?....

Traffic is great, but it must be consistent over some time

Why????

I'm a little confused about this but I owe your bounce rate. It's a good start.

There is no such thing as consistency specially in traffic. That's why we continuously optimize our site to at least maintain some of it.
