My website is about Exams. My website is an educational website for reviewers of College Entrance Exams, IT certification, licensure exams etc.
In how many months will I have 1000 unique visitors per day?
Thanks!
Okay, so is my starting stats just normal? is there a website that gets 400+ per day on its first month?
Get after the incoming links and do some advertising if things aren't ramping up fast enough for you.

Yes.
As frequent says, there is no "usual" amount of traffic. It's kinda like asking what was your first year's turnover for your business - it depends on a lot of different factors and can vary from industry to industry, as well as being impacted by your contributions to the business.
My goal for this month is to have 100 users per day. I am now having about 40 users per day and I am very happy about that. they are accessing 5 to 25 pages per user.
Should I be the one to do it? (adding inbound links). I've been posting my website to education forums. I also have a software at downloads.com that already have 250+ downloads from december 18 to now.
Just build content and get links to your site at a steady rate - not too much, not too little at any given time period (month or two).
As you do this, your traffic will increase.
While it is good to have target traffic levels, it is near impossible to quantify exactly what you need to do to achieve that (in terms of pages or links) - it just varies so much from site to site.
what is "hits" vs. the other number that I see, which is usually around 3400
my first year i averaged about 300-500 hits a month with only about 100 pgs. or so of stuff
It all depends on your seo skills.
If you're looking for SE traffic.
If you're good at viral marketing you could get away with half a dozen links... and a lot of buzz.
If you're selling something on the site it may be worth advertising and getting 10K visitors from tomorrow.
If you get a link from slashdot you could crash your server in the next few hours with the sheer volume of visitors.
There is no one answer.
How can I use that software for my advantage in promoting my website. It is already available in the Downloads.com and one of the popular downloads in that website.
Thanks.
Oops, did I type that out loud...

There are a variety of things you can do. Given your product, why not offer a free progress/improvement tracking system on your main site that is promoted within the program. They could opt in to receive email congrats and newsletters at various milestones. You could even expand it to a snail mail newsletter. Eventually sell branded clothing and educational toys etc. at an on-line store.
Really, the possibilities are endless.

30-40 uniques in 34 days is not bad at all. It is also a very short time, you are probably not even starting to rank in the SE's yet.
When you try to search for a quiz in google, sometimes, my website shows in the first page because it matches the title of the quiz.
I just need to add more contents so I will cover most of the exams.
I have been running my site for 2.5 years, It is currently getting 3k to 4k unique visitors daily. I believe I am only doing so-so compared to many of the pros here. I noticed somebody mention "hits" in previous post. Don't mistaken "hits" as real traffic. My hits per day ranges from 160,000 to 300,000 and page view ranges from 9k to 18k. Only take "uniques" as your real traffic.
