Is certainly is a long term project. You are talking in terms of about three years before you will start getting decent page views.

You are in the right neck of the wood there with that timing. On one of my development sites - a directory site for a niche market, the first year brought little in the way of click throughts to listed sites. It then took off quite steeply and after 20 months seems to be starting to deliver reasonable traffic to a niche market. Happily I do enough individual sites within the niche market to measure progress on referrals.

My guess is after two years, then most listed sites will see appreciable traffic, which by its nature is highly targeted. It is only then that I believe there is something to go out and really "sell"
