I've been wondering where the new visitors to my site were coming from, and I just found out that Google has indexed my page. I did a search on dogpile.com and found that Google is the only one I'm listed with. I get about two hits from new people each day according to my counter (I don't have stats), apparenty from Google searchers. Anyone care to guess how many I'd get if I submitted my site to 100 or so search engines, assume my site gets no better?

I wouldn't expect traffic to pick up much form other search engines if you are only getting 2 a day from Google. They are one of the most frequently used ones. See http://websnapshot.mycomputer.com/searchengines.html

Ok, I went there and figured I'll get about 12 new visitors per day if I'm indexed by other search engines. Thats not bad because I'll be improving my site and I read about other ways to increase traffic and how it will increase over time anyway. Here is a passage from webdevelopersjournal.com
Basically, most sites get a trickle of traffic per page on their site. Each page
manages to get found by only a relatively small number of people a day from the search
engines, depending on the search subject, usually only about 10 - 30 or so people a day
per page even on well visited sites. Why? Because most pages on average on a
particular site do not rank highly on search results.
