The Search Traffic Project

I will start documenting my efforts to increase my search traffic in one of my sites using different types of link building strategies. This will help me track how well my strategies work and also will help you guys get ideas on what link building campaigns you can do to your site.

My Goal:

To hit 2,500 search traffic/month coming from the search engines

October Search Traffic:

448 search traffic/month

Search Traffic

Plan of Action:

1.) I am going to pick keywords and pages that I will optimize and promote to increase search traffic and give me that additional 1,000 search traffic.

2.) Optimize the pages base on the keywords selected.

3.) Work on a link building campaign strategy.

I’ll keep you guys posted.

Article Marketing: Does this still work?

Yes, article syndication still works well. For those that haven’t added this strategy or have stop implementing this strategy, here are reasons to get you started (or restarted):

Article Marketing Brings Targeted Traffic

The people that are coming from the article directories are very well targeted, they are already interested in what you have to offer (because of the call to action in your resource information) and will most likely convert.

Article Marketing Builds Links

If you are submitting quality content to article directories, webmasters whose looking for content to publish in their site will find them, so your articles will end up on different sites with links pointing back to your website.

SearchTrafficTeam’s Results:

Here’s 4 of the current campaigns that we are doing for our clients:

Take note that these traffic stats (traffic to the site promoted) and publishing stats (sites publishing the articles with link to the site promoted) are only coming from EzineArticles. We are also circulating the articles on other article directories that sends traffic to the site we are promoting.

I find that click through rate varies depending on what type of site you have:

Information Sites - Around 10%+

Ecommerce Sites - Around 5%+ - this I think because other readers are only interested with information and our call to action in the resource information tells them that we are selling products so these 5% are ready buyers.

It’s interesting to see also that even with different number of articles we end up with around the same click through percentage.

Campaign #1 - Information Site:

6,211 Total URL Clicks

9.36% Click Through Rate

257 Live Articles
