    Personally, I would be pretty happy with a 250-fold increase in traffic over a 45-day period.

    What did the traffic look like prior to the graph starting?

    Oh. That graph is not showing Search Engine traffic? It is an overall graph?

    yes it is overall graph and I should have asked my question differently:

    will my pages get more traffic rate after time? and what to do to increase the rate?

    To get more traffic and increase the rate of it: Create quality, unique content. Establish yourself as a canonical, authoritative website for your topic.

    Also try to build relevant backlinks with other authoritative sites.

    It looks fine to me, what you should be trying to do is convince people to join in the discussion to get the activity level up.

    If all else fails, create some clone member accounts and use them to make it appear like there is activity.

    That's I'm doing I have been doing some competitions too and found 3 or 4 active members who would watch the site better than me

    Additional to Ace reply I checked your analytics picture and I see you have 2 keywords that's give you the traffic from search engines and the best one is "add url contact address book mac os x" Also I search with this keyword in some other "Mac Os" Sites and I found your site with the top 10 best forums in Mac os
    So don't worry about the Search engines your forum SEO Is 88% and you will need now to add some more threads and now didn't make any other changes in your forum SEO and vBSEO and start in your forum content and I sure you will get more traffic from search engines
    Also, I checked your site with search engines bots and I found all search bots check your site daily so if you open new thread you will found it indexed in Google in less than 1 day

    just wondering I'm thinking of increasing thread count by doing more software reviews which is kind of not unique or rich content, should I do it anyway?

    That's will make some "active" replies with your forum members and I recommended this kind of threads. these threads will help you to get some more traffic
    In my new forum I already make some software reviews and I found a lot of people who is search in Google with "software name review" so I sure that's will help your forum
