I think it's a balance. The content generation mills focus on generating keyword dense, SEO friendly articles at the expense of quality. It sounds like you have generated vast amounts of quality content at the expense of any sort of marketing. Keep in mind that 2000 articles is nearly 6 posts a day for an entire year. If I assume each article took roughly 20 minutes to write, that is 666 hours or writing (coincidence I swear!). Again, to balance that writing time out, let's say you devote a mere 2% of that writing time to marketing. That would come to about 13 hours. A 98/2 split seems fair enough to me, and I would imagine that 13 hours spent marketing your writings would result in significant and sustained traffic increases. If you feel that white-hat SEO isn't your thing (which I think is highly inadvisable), just spend that time sending emails or reaching out to friends. If you write it, and you don't market it, they won't come.
