I recently talked about the "The Keywords That Brings Most Organic Traffic" and I have also talked about "How YOU Drive Traffic To Hive". My most recent article is about one of my older posts and the traffic that comes in from google and twitter because of that. This time, I figured we would take a look at the top 10 articles that generates the most traffic from google according to simpleanalytics.
The Top 10
We will start with the amount of page views we got in total during the last 30 days and also look at the amount of page views during the last 3 months as well. Like I mentioned above, these stats are taken from Simple Analytics.
30 Days: 5.3K page views in total.

As you can see, there is a difference between 30 and 90 days. The majority of the articles that has generated the most traffic during the last 30 days can be found within the list of 90 days as well, but there's still a difference between the two. I won't go into any major details of each and every article because it's too time consuming, but I dare to say that at least most of these articles generates all of this traffic without being fully optimized. That basically means that with some optimization, chances are that we would see even more traffic for each.
Also, we can't know for sure why these articles are driving this much traffic, because we can't know how people find them. We don't know which keywords they actually rank for without looking into the details, but just by looking at the headline, we get a pretty decent idea.
To give you a better answer:
30 days: Axie Infinity
90 days: Air drop
This gives you a good idea of "what to write", if you want to optimize content and increase organic traffic over time, as you've already seen what content that has been pulling in this much traffic. An even better approach would be to include the url to the original content and publish something of your own, about the same thing. That will help the original content to stay relevant and strengthen the current rankings. Best of all, would be if the authors of these articles would be up for the challenge to actually update the content, and optimize it further for even better rankings in the near future.
