How much content to start getting results?

4 replies
Hey. I was just wondering how much content you need to start getting better results with traffic? I know this has alot of different factors but I have 37 articles right now & have started getting more daily traffic, comments, shares & likes on Facebook. How many articles would you recommend as a good starting point though? I would like to order some articles but would like to be able to get a positive ROI as soon as possible. Thanks

    To me, 37 articles should be plenty of articles to start driving traffic to your site. I don't know specifics here but I look at it like this. You have a product that sits on your website. If you could drive traffic to your website with your articles then you could sell your product. am I right?

    If so , then it is important that you are preconditioning your traffic on with those articles. They cannot just be educational articles. They have to A) drive your traffic to your website B) make the reader like you C) present another possible problem.

    AN example would be like if you had a website where you sold an ebook on how to pick up attractive women at ease (just for a off the wall example).

    SO you might have an article that solves something for the reader like "how to approach an attractive women and get her phone number easily." This article would end strategically though because it would end by presenting another problem like "how to call a women for the first time and what to talk about" which you would have on your website (also for free).

    Now after you have solved these 2 really troubling problems for your prospect you have really gained some trust with them and you have really started to position yourself as an authority in their eyes.

    Now it is a pretty short jump to buy your product which is conveniently in view on your website.


    So that's the thing. I don;t think it's the quantity of your articles. 37 is more than enough. They have to be strategic though. Each one has to have a purpose (generally it's to build trust by solving a problem and to push the reader at your website to solve another problem)

      Sometimes its not so much the amount of content you have but where people find your links and how they get to your site.

      Wherever your links are, in the search engines or on other or ads, the anchor text, the link and the context they are in can make a really big difference in how much traffic you get.

    There are much more important factors than the amount of content on the site.

    Some of my sites with 200+ pages don't even come close to the traffic numbers of my QUALITY 20 page sites...

    Thanks for letting me know. I would like to have over 50 articles soon & part of the problem is probably that my site is only 2 months old! I'm hoping to make everything on the site as good as possible, make a Youtube video everyday, build a list & my likes and shares on social media & send my newest articles to my list as well. Wish me luck
