Mario is right, it all depends. My friend builds Web sites for the banking industry, and a variety of professional media sites -- they live on the Internet increasingly. You wouldn't get 500 hits a day if you were running, for example, a roofing service in a city. 500 a week would be pretty successful (working out to 5 to 10 possible new clients off the net supplementing your regulars -- assume a 10 or 100 to 1 ratio of hits to bites). If you were ReMax real estate listing services (or whatever your premier real estate lister in your city is) you could very well get thousands a day. He is also right about the search services: she needs to get her keywords right, and so on, so she gets picked up by them. Otherwise it is just random access.

yours, Peter T.
