A well optimized site can get consistent traffic at around 4 to 6 months.
How long did it take your blog to get traffic?

I have seen, 3-4 months after doing on page and content and backlinks and doing regular blog posting will help you get traffic.., dont forget to share in social media sites and do reddit and medium too

in my case my followers did not increase consistently either. i had virtually none then suddenly some posts were getting hits every day and slowly but surely that snow balled.
My first real take off happened only when I gets enough related content in my blog for that topic. until then it was all jsst scattered thoughts now and then with the traffic growing steadily.

In my experience, the first movement could take 2 to 3 months, while steady traffic would take more time. The niche, competition, indexing, and strength of the website at the start play a huge role here.

Generally, I would give a new website anywhere from 3 to 6 months to determine the trend. There are certain categories that change faster than others; however, steady growth is achieved once sufficient indexing takes place.
IMO one should not assess a blog by its first two months bcz mine seemed to be virtually invisible during that time nd then suddenly a few pieces of writing began to generate traffic which kept compounding slowly over time. i would concentrate on generating useful material regularly nd working on pages that have traffic allready.
For a fresh domain, expect a 6 to 9 month sandbox period before seeing consistent, meaningful organic traffic. Focusing early on long-tail low-competition keywords, proper internal linking, and consistent indexing gets early signals moving much faster than going after high-volume terms right away.

That’s a realistic time frame, but it varies wildly depending on your particular niche and level of competition. In my opinion, you should concentrate more on regular content creation than on getting traffic in certain periods.
