Just posted a new Poll in the sidebar:
How Many Unique Visitors Does Your Biggest Blog Get Per Day?
RSS Subscribers – Click Here to Vote.
Note – I’m asking for Unique Visitors – not ‘hits’ or ‘page views’. Most statistics packages will give you this information.
Those of you with more than one blog – just do your biggest one.
Looking forward to seeing the results.

My blog just started getting 20 uniques per day. It was plugging along at 3 per day when BlogRush and some timely keyword combinations added 17+ uniques per day. Looking to set a goal of 40+ uniques per day right now.
I just broke the 200 unique barrier the other day after my second month of blogging. Hopefully the hits come on coming. Surprised to see so many in the 1-100 category though.
About 30 on some days. The average is probably closer to 25. Unfortunately, things have been rather static as well.
I have a fashion blog that gets around 16K a month. Much of the success has been around targeting popular keywords, talking about hot topics (no, not celebrities! Imagine that!), and networking with established fashion bloggers.
Wow, there are some heavy hitters reading ProBlogger! My blog is getting between 100-150 at the moment, but it is down from a month ago when I was averaging 200 a day. :( Not sure what went wrong there, but I´m going back over the 31 Days to a Better Blog series to improve it and hopefully boost my readers.
Nice to know that the majority of us are under 500. Does anyone know how true it is that you need 500 unique visitors a day to earn money with a blog?
So darren, We gave our numbers. What about yours?
Justin – i was the first to vote ;-)
My biggest blogs would comfortably fit in the top category above if I’m looking at server side stats.
Not surprised. Most blogs receive fewer than 100 hits daily. At least I’m not alone :)
Hi Darren,
I usually get between 500 to 1000 per day. I’ve hit 6000-8000 when my posts have been picked up by lifehacker. The stat packages do vary quite a bit, but I like Google Analytics the best.

Mind you my blog has only been going for four months, so I suppose its pretty good for a new Tech blog.
I have only had my blog for 4 days, Here is how many visitors I have had:
Thursday 17
Friday 2
Saturday 0
Sunday 0
Not very many visitors yet, hopefully I get those numbers up soon. Interesting though that I had 2 visitors first day from an ask.com search. I would not have thought a search engine would pick up a new blog that quick. I was not near the first page either, those visitors really dug through the search pages to find me.

200 to 250 a day…which I suppose isn’t bad for a homeschooling, mommy blog. : )
Do you all find that ‘uniques’ = casual users and that ‘page views’ = interested users? I find if I write something compelling, my uniques might bump up just a bit, but that my page views go up dramatically, as interested readers click around my site…

I tried to visit and/or reply to as many blogs with low uniques in this post as I could. I just started a little over 2 weeks ago so I feel your pain!
As for me, I’m getting about 200 visitors per day this week.
@SingForHim: I do no know whether it is acceptable to stumble our own posts, but I stumbled two of my posts because I was new to SU, and didn’t know what to do next. So I experimented with it. I haven’t stumbled upon any of my other posts, except those initial two.
My site is about 6 mos old. I get average 30 a day. If I Stumble something it might go to 200 for the day, better than DIGG.
Let me just check Google Analytics…
ok, 86 Absolute Visitors… so that’s not counting my visits.
Not bad, considering I’ve just started, eh?
I am also #1 in google for “Pixl Design” but hey, that’s to be expected, no? It is the name of my site.
Anyways, Most of the sites mentioned just got another Unique return visitor, good luck all of you!
My biggest blog gets between 50 and 70 uniques a day, but hasn’t been updated since April. I have just started a new blog last week that I hope will go somewhere, but currently is getting about 10 per day. My personal blog gets around 20 – 30, but that’s mainly because I don’t care about traffic on it.
Over the past 30 days I’ve averaged 575 uniques a day. Over the past 8 days I’ve averaged 935 so it’s growing. Slowly
I get around 200 uniques a day :) 250-300 when I publish something new ;)
Wow, impressive. At this moment, >1000 is already a number I can not even imagine for my niche topic of startup ideas and operational tips…. I think quality is important as well. I am curious what is the general statistics of the bounce rates.
I am so lucky, this site is still very new, I never promote it because I am so lazy and tired. However, I always try to keep it up to date. I am so lucky because I can get 500 visitors after 2 weeks I’ve launched this site.
I get more than 4000+ in my blog and few visitors in my site infiya.com
I just launch my own dot com with web 2.0 theme 2 weeks ago, so i got about 60-100 visitors a day. Do you all think its reasonable progress? Or anyway can improve my blog traffic fast?
whoa..
Awesome for you all..
My blog only get around 10-20 unique visitor per/day…
Maybe I must improve my language first..
Normally I get around 1000 to 2000 unique visitors a day, on bad days it can go down to 800.
I found interesting that the best days are usually wednesday, friday and saturday.
My blog Channing Tatum Unwrapped is the official site for actor Channing Tatum and I get 1000 – 2500 visitors each day from around the world. I started the blog January 1st of this year as a fan site and it became in August.
Correction: I started the blog Channing Tatum Unwrapped January 1st of this year as a fan site and it became the actor’s OFFICIAL site in August. My high traffic days are Sundays and Mondays and Fridays are my lowest traffic days, but I always get at least 1000 visitors. The average visitors per day will continue to grow as his popularity increases and more of his movies come out.
My personal blog is now surpassing my other niche sites …. more people are interested in reading the true real life stuff with no sales swing to it. I`m sittting on about 500 – 600 uniques a day and steadily growing …. helps now that i`m posting every day too and feedburner is a godsend for increasing traffic.
My jokes blog receives in the 101-250 range.
I would be nice if we could see a percentage next to each result.
over 250 but it cost me a few bucks
My blog gets about 200 uniques. Not bad, but I hope I can add another 0 very soon.
Thank you, Darren, for this poll. Although I would love to see all of us succeed, it does feel good to know that I’m not alone.
Great poll! For those wondering who’s in the 20001+ category… I’m one of them. :)
Mmmm, I’ve been blogging since July and steadily growing but still under 20 a day on average.
Feel free to visit ;)
It’s about 2 months old and getting ~40 or so per day.
I’ve spiked to about 20k on 2 days thanks to digg
I have noticed that when my content is good though that number has doubles and even quadruppled. Those days are always exciting. I ended up with a couple of news websites linking through to me and that shot me up to around 500 visitors in one day, and me visitors are coming back around 3-4 a month. It is always exciting when your content is noticed!
My best post has gotten a little over 500 UVs…. looking to make that the average by next month >;)
My Arsenal fan blog gets 94 unique viewers per day according to Sitemeter. I guess that’s not too bad for a blog exactly 1 month old, but I’m hoping to see some improvement over the next couple of months…
it depends so much for which audience in which country and therefor language you blog – I do in German and am somekind of limited. but I can’t complain and I’m quite happy with the development of my traffic of more than 500 unique visitors a day :-)
Our blog is now getting over 100 visitors per day — but only recently did we reach that plateau. We launched the blog in July. It takes time to build up a readership.
Around 250 is my current level.
I’ve been getting 5-15 UV a day since I started my blog in July. After putting MyBlogLog to use, it jumped to 10-25 a day. It’s been around since two months, and it’s nearing the 1,000 visitors mark! :)
Just got dugg and have over 20k uniques.
I’m averaging just under 250, but I have spikes where i go into the 400-500 range. Like others, I am at a loss as to whether to include the RSS numbers, which according to Feedburner are averaging about 160.
I think it might be informative to see how individual days perform. I’ve read that Tuesday is supposed be the top day for most blogs, but I’ve found that Monday and Wednesdays usually do better for me. Friday’s are generally the worse day of the work-week, even if I put up a new post Friday mornings.
Weekends usually produce less traffic, buy it appears that readers are more likely to click on ads during the weekend, so my income stays about the same.

I get ~300/day, which I guess is doing better than I thought. Now I have a question for those of you still reading this thread… how does your subscriber count compare to your visitors/month count? Mine, throughout its limited history, seems to be relatively stable at about 1%. That is, I get about 100 visitors for every 1 subscriber (most of my traffic is from StumbleUpon, which I would guess my pull that number lower than someone’s whose traffic is mainly from another source).
So… am I unusual with that 1%?
chinese blog, about 1k a day.
I’m currently in the process of trying to get past the 50 unique visitors a day… I seem to have loads of readers but a problem they all have is that none of them like to post… I want to try and learn how to stop this. Anyway; about 10-15 unique visitors a day.
Its a bell shaped curve for me. Usually I am happy around with 200 – 300 unique visitors to my site but when I see some sudden spikes as one comment already mentioned (which is mostly due to stumbleupon) it surges to 1000+ but again within 2-3 days falls back to 200+.
It makes me mad seeing the spikes coming down sometimes …lol. Stumbleupon please be predictable!
My blog is pretty new, so right now it’s around 100 to 200 a day on average. My dad’s blog is Chinese and he gets a lot of page views.
