The numbers are good for one simple reason. Our site is one of the oldest continual message boards on the web in this sector. So when Google finds a person who is historically interested in songwriting or music industry topics (via the extensive profiles they have on each of us), when they search for stuff, Google will point them our way from all over the world. (We regularly get significant hits from not only English speaking countries, but also most of Europe and Japan as well because they all learn English from early childhood alongside of their native language)
Being here all this time increases traffic exponentially and the fact that people click those links to our site means even more because it shows us to be more relevant than other results and it boosts us. We're hurting for new members because 2 days after our site was finished with the upgrade that cost many thousands of dollars to be current, Google changed their algorithm to require HTTP sites to switch to HTTPS sites. That would have cost a brand new set of many thousands of dollars as our entire site has so many pages that would have to be changed one at a time.
So, if you have something interesting in your lyric or post in general, Google will likely find it and start sending people there when they search.
