What is good 'visitors per month goal' to aim for when you start a website serving a niche community?

Question

I just started a website, www.corrosionconnection.com and I am wondering what a good 'goal' is to aim for for visitors per month. I am setting up affiliate products on it and such. I created the website to help people that own boats and cars and homes and such to find anything and everything about rust and corrosion and such.
I just want to know a realistic goal for a website like mine. I nderstand it takes anywhere from at least 2-6 months to get into the search engines and for advertising to have an effect on visitors but I would just let to get some type of idea of what I can hope for.

Answer 1

It matters how good your webpage will be, I hope you can atleast get 20 a day to start.. but if is not that great then it will never increase. I hope it works out!
