My personal site now gets 1,000 clicks per month from Google searches. It took two and half years of consistently adding content nearly every day to get to this point. There are 884 pages indexed by Google and 186 that are not (for mysterious reasons). It takes ~24k impressions to deliver 1,000 clicks. The majority of the content comes from my published notes rather than longer form content like blog posts or essays.
It’s kind of incredible how much content is needed to generate a comparatively small amount of traffic through SEO. This could be because the things I write about tend to be fairly niche and far ranging in topic.
