Just wondering what you all consider a good (or acceptable) daily Unique visitor rate to your site to be?

100?
250?
500?
1000+?

No single “good” number of daily unique visitors exists. The right target comes from concrete business goals (sales, leads, signups) and the site’s ability to turn visits into value. The replies here started that conversation: flagged keyword/supply limits, and steered toward monetization, stressed trend, and noted site age and niche all matter. Those are the inputs for a useful goal, not a single universal figure.

A practical way to turn traffic into a target:

  1. Define the primary daily goal (revenue, leads, active users).
  2. Measure the current conversion rate and the average value per conversion.
  3. Use a simple formula: Required visitors = Revenue target / (Conversion rate * Average order value)
    Example: a $300/day revenue target, a 3% conversion rate and a $50 average sale needs about 200 daily uniques (300 / (0.03 * 50) = 200). That makes the target actionable and lets channel planning focus on lifting conversion and AOV as well as raw traffic.

Don’t stop at uniques. Track source-by-source conversion, bounce, pages/session, return rates, CPA and LTV. Week-over-week and month-over-month trends tell more than a single-day snapshot — a small, consistent upward trend is usually healthier than a volatile spike. Where and noted niche size, factor in realistic keyword/opportunity limits before setting stretch targets.

Quick checklist:

  • Instrument goals in analytics and segment by source.
  • Compute visitors needed with the formula above and set a modest growth cadence.
  • Prioritize landing-page conversion improvements and channel mix before chasing big raw numbers.

This approach converts the OP’s question into an evidence-based target tied to ROI rather than an arbitrary daily count.

It's difficult to provide even a ball park figure of an exact number.

An "acceptable" daily average would depend on a number of points but would not be limited to:

1. The number of individuals/organizations with websites who share similar content.
2. The number of searches that pertain to your site's content which are generated on a daily basis.

You would likely have to perform some in-depth keyword analysis to come to such a figure.

The number of unique visitors is relative. If you’re selling a $10,000 item then perhaps all you need is 1 unique visitor per day. If you’re selling $1 items, then perhaps you need 10,000 unique visitors per day.

good point seotogo,

It depends on roi

Than counting on daily unique visitors, better work on ROI (Visitors turning into customers)

I'd say having a constant growth in the web traffic trend can be more important than merely having higher numbers.

This can especially be important when you try running PPC ads on a website.

depends on the age of website as well...

The more traffic the better. It's all about the law of large numbers.

It's a very relative question. I don't sell anything and my keywords are pretty narrow. If I had a hundred in a day I would throw a party but if I was Amazon I would be confused.
