Do you remember how long it took to start getting traffic from search engines? According to my blog stats, I haven’t gotten a single hit from search engine terms yet.
It takes a good month or so for the popular search engines to initially recognize a new WordPress blog (or any new web site for that matter). Once your blog has been identified and tagged by them the random search engine terms will begin leading to your blog. WordPress content is constantly spidered by the various search engines on a near-daily basis, so the more that you add to your blog on a regular basis the more it will be spidered. After about a month or so you can post a new blog entry in the morning, and it will appear on the various search engines later on in the day – if you post on a daily basis. If you only post once a week then your blog will be spidered less often. The search engines are rather smart nowadays. They pretty much know when your blog is likely to be updated with new material.
