Traffic Is What It Takes
You may or may not have seen the previous contests I've hosted. Both of them was about link-building and I basically wanted people to create "support posts" to two of my previous posts. I still haven't looked at the entries for the last contest, but the first one was amazing. I was really satisfied with the results for the first contest so I decided to up the prizes by 350 LEO just due to the awesome entries I found. Literally everyone got a prize at the end.
However, to give people an even better understanding of things, I want to tell you that I published a post on 06-06-2021. That's almost exactly one year ago. It is my best performing post to this date, in terms of traffic. That post is in the top 10 of the best performing posts that brings in organic traffic to LeoFinance.
The post I am talking about is this:
A short 692 word post sits on rank 3 on Google for multiple keyword variations and generates traffic each and every month. That is the power of optimized content.
Here's the thing, the keywords has low search volume. For instance:
"how often can you buy and sell crypto" has a search volume of 50 per month.
"how often can i buy and sell crypto" has a search volume of even less, only 20 per month.
Looking at one other example, we have:
"how often should you buy and sell crypto" that sits on a search volume of 10 per month.
This is obviously not the best keywords one could have, as one would rather ranked high for highly competitive keywords. However, these keywords sits on position 3 and generates traffic.
The first keyword I mentioned, with a search volume of 50 brings in 14 visitors per month. The second keyword, the one that has a search volume of 20 per month, brings in 7 visitors and the last keywords brings 4 visitors out of 10 monthly searches..
- At position 3 on Google!
With some optimization and after the recent link-building contest I've hosted, it's very likely to see this post rank even higher on Google. Imagine position 1. I bet we're likely to see a drastic change in traffic, even though we're still just talking about a handful of visitors in total due to the total search volume.
- This is the reason optimized content is vital for overall growth.
Imagine making 1 optimized post per day. Take the weekends of and whatever and you're still up to 250-300 posts in one year. All of them might not bring in 36 visitors, but how about 4, 5 or 6 on some of them.. Imagine 10, 15 or even 50 on a few others..
- Imagine ranking some outstanding keywords and generate hundreds of visitors per month..
This is why I've been talking about optimized content. This is the reason I continuously talk about the importance of optimized content, how vital it is for growth and how Hive & LeoFinance will benefit in such immense ways no one has seen before.
Organic traffic will take us to new heights and even though not all of us are creating optimized content, imagine everyone making one single optimized post per week. The potential is insane, but most people are still ignoring it. Despite the fact that it's undeniable facts at this point.
You can't beat Google with whatever marketing stunts you do. Google will beat you in terms of traffic and exposure in the long haul no matter what you do. Reward optimized content, regardless if you understand it or not. It will benefit you in the long haul.
