I concur with Ryan on that one. It's like asking, how long does it take a
company to attain its first million? What size is the company? You can't
quantify it in terms of numbers, but you could make up some rules of thumb.

Short term benefit: site gets better positions in search engines and thus
more traffic. In the long term, the competition and the new generation of
ranking algorithm can annul the effect of SEO campaigns. SEO exploits
deficiencies and weaknesses of algorithms _at present_.
