I agree with limcs, your website traffic will start from zero but it will increase as the time goes by with your doing the right marketing.

It took me 6 months to hit US100 and another 1-2 months to get the check cleared. Now Google has never missed sending their check every month. But you need to work hard on the content and marketing to have this achieved.

In the earlier stage, I did clicking few of my own ads without knowing it's against the TOC. Upon realizing I sent an apology email to Google; luckily they did not ban me.
