I have been doing a lot of research & work on content/SEO for the last 12 years.
I’ve read 100s of articles & case studies and watched countless videos. I’ve started blogs and even bought blogs on Flippa. All to understand what drives organic web traffic.
What Drives Organic Traffic from Google Search?
What I have noticed is that 90% of high-traffic sites share key traits:
- They have at least 1,000 pages of SEO-optimised content on their niche
- They have been in business for over 3 years.
- They have acquired many backlinks ( this is a tricky one, sites with tonnes of backlinks but thin in content don’t drive traffic)
Today, organic traffic is harder to gain. A few quality articles and backlinks aren’t enough anymore.
Why You Need to Rank on Google?
But you still need to rank content on Google because:
- It drives 25% of all internet traffic and 90% of searches
- Over 70% of people click organic results most or all the time
- Over 80% of search results are still text-based (as opposed to images and video)
Many major companies like MOZ, HubSpot and authors like Seth Godin, David Clear achieved initial success through blogging. Content marketing brings tremendous ROI.
After an initial investment in regular, relevant content, you gain free traffic, leads, and sales for years. And, unlike building on social media, you own your content.
Secret to Organic Traffic Growth
I started a blog 3 years back as an experiment to drive traffic. In the last 18 months, my blog went from 500 to 10,000 visitors a month, with 500k monthly impressions, consistently growing 25% every month.
My secrets to this growth are :
- Build topical authority i.e write content on a particular niche
- Publish a lot of content, regularly. Top sites in their niche have published at least 1,000 articles. The more you publish the more chances of being found. I wrote and published over 600 blog posts in 16 months.
- Build backlinks
- Wait for results (at least 9-12 months)….If you’re a new blog, you won’t see much happening for the first 6 months. Think of it like running any business. It takes 3-5 years to run a successful business, provided you do things right. Similarly, it should take at least 3 years to build a successful blog/content site.
My New Course
Now, I am creating a course that will teach you:
- How to do keyword research and have a list of 100 – 10,000 keywords and content titles to write on
- How to use a single AI prompt to write unlimited SEO-optimized content, that is non-detectable by AI, non-plagiarised, written for humans:), and that ranks on Google search.
- How to build backlinks to your blog to get higher domain authority. I have manually collected a list of 200+ and growing legit websites(unlike outdated backlink resources on the web where 90% of sites don’t work) to get backlinks from. I have created backlinks from these websites, after which my domain authority went from 9 to 20 in the last 6 months.
- Building a lead magnet so that you can convert visitors to leads and then a series of automated emails to convert leads into customers.
- How to repurpose your blog content into videos and podcasts using AI tools.
- How to share your content daily on social media – Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook, Medium, Pinterest, Instagram, Youtube & Spotify using automation and scheduling to help you improve your social presence as well, as save time for other activities.
- How to outsource everything to someone else, so that you can publish 500 – 1,000 posts in the next 12 months and witness traffic growth.
Before I launch the course, I am teaching this course 1 on 1 to 10 people.
By doing this course, you can build your blog, run your content agency, or even work as a content writer/content strategist/content marketer/social media manager for any company.
You don’t need to invest in any tools (except an automation tool e.g Zapier for social media automation and scheduling).
