Though I do offer services to build traffic up to your blogs (mainly link solicitation and including trading scripts if necessary) generally when I hand over a finished product, there is no traffic.

Now, when I build a blog I focus on SEs, which will become a great part of your incoming traffic stream. This includes custom perm link structures (if wanted) and an explanation of how best to go about doing updates while keeping SEs in mind. Of course this is included free of charge on all of my projects.

After a couple weeks of updates and niche link exchanges you will find your traffic increasing more and as more of your updates/pages start getting into the SERPs. You can expect about 1-2k or so after a couple weeks of doing updates. Of course, this traffic is extremely valuable and you will notice a much higher CTR than if you introduced skimming into your blog (sure, you would get to 50k pretty fast, but your conversions will take a nosedive).

A general, mostly text blog with pic updates with about 20+ quality niche link exchanges will grow quite quickly, and the traffic will be of very high quality.

My turnaround time is completely project dependant.
A simple 99% text blog will take me about 2 days flat, but the more advanced blogs can take a week or more.

As such, it's in everybody's best interest to contact me and personally discuss what you have in mind for a project so I can give you the most accurate estimates I can.
