I'm looking for some advice from webmasters who have established sites that have between 2000 to 3000 pages on a site. No forums, indexed quality original content only.

To reach self imposed goals on a fairly new site I've found that I will need to eventually have roughly 2.7 million pageviews per month. I'm looking to garner that through organic search (Google, Yahoo, MSN) without advertising. I've got the SEO covered, articles rank well, and the site has roughly 10 percent of its content in place and is on target to reach 2.7 million. It still sounds off somehow so i'm looking for feedback here.

Is achieving 2.7 million pageviews a month, solely from organic searches, with a site that has 2500 pages of total original content realistic?

I know that pageviews aren't a good measuring stick but they represent an average that is in line with current figures for the site. Since simply adding 9x more content won't translate into 9x the traffic... what 'might' it translate into? This topic requires about 2500 pages of content to cover everything, adding more than that is not an option.

Any opinions appreciated.

edit: I should have added that yes, this topic and its related keywords receive more than enough searches per month to reach these numbers.

Based on my experience I'd say it is a reasonable expectation, given enough time.

How much time it might take to achieve it strictly through the organic sources is another question.
