Can we get 100 visitors/day with 100 high quality blog posts with 700-1000 words each?

11 replies
Dear Warriors,

I have created a blog related to internet marketing. I have 14 blog posts and Google has sent me 24 visitors in 7 days.

Here are the stats:

Number of organic visitors from Google: 24
Average time on my blog: 23:58 min
Bounce rate: 16,67%
Impressions/visitor: 16,08

The question is that if I continue the work and write 1 quality post about 700 words every single day how many posts do I need to write in order to have a potential to get 100 visitors/day in the long run?:confused:

I can set a goal and write 3 high quality blog posts within 5 hours/day every day for the next 30 days which means 90 blog posts. Is it a good idea?

I need your advice folks!!!

Thank you,
Zourkas

    Yes.

    No.

    Maybe.

    Traffic shouldn't be something you hope someone else sends to you. It should be something you go after.

    Writing blog posts is NOT a traffic generation strategy.

    It MIGHT send some long tail traffic to you but it will be minimal so just mindlessly posting blog posts isn't a sound strategy.

    Post your blog posts (as long as they are of a high quality and not just blogging for the sake of blogging) and then get that content in front of the people you want to visit your site.

      This.

      Hear this comment, Zourkas. Understand it: publishing content just on your own site is not a traffic-generation strategy. All it can ever get you is a little bit of eventual SEO traffic "just by being there" (and in your niche, even that isn't a trivial matter). That isn't a business.

      To attract targeted traffic with content, you need to have the content published in front of the targeted traffic you're trying to attract.

      The average time that people spend on your blog is remarkably high - you must be doing something right there, I think!

      But appreciate that blogging is not, in itself, usually a way to generate significant traffic.

      I think you may get far more people opting in. if your opt-in box is on the landing page/home page, by the way. The combination of SEO traffic, this IM/MMO niche, and not having an opt-in box on the landing page isn't a good income-producing recipe.

      How many of the 24 have opted in? That's where most of the income comes from ... (it's too small a number to be judging, really, of course, but you get my point?).

    The reason why you're still getting little traffic is that your blog is still quite "young".

    You can icrease your traffic doing appropriate keyword research and backlinking your blog posts. I suggest you outsource backlinking. Go to fiverr.com and enter "SEnuke" in the search box. Provide a hand/spun article and let them do the work. Choose the seller on the basis of its rating.

    Now, 100 visits a day are not enough to generate conversions (typically optins). Your goal should be to generate at least 500/day id not more.

    Blogging is still an excellent way to generate traffic but you must have solid SEO in place.
    After you publish your blog post do this:

    Go to bulkping.com. Ping your blogpost and submit your RSS feed. If you have never used the backlinking option I suggest you do that, but not more than 2-3 times for the same domain
    Go to socialmarker.com and bookmark your post.

    Hope that helps...

      To the OP....please ignore this post if you ever want to have a serious blog with decent traffic numbers.

      Blasting your blog with Fiverr backlinks gigs will be a short term at best solution and doing trivial things like pinging your post, social bookmarking and submitting RSS feeds will bring ridiculously small levels of traffic if any at all.

      This is truly dreadful advice on so many different levels that it's honestly quite hard to know exactly where to start, in responding to it.

      So let's just say that this is "a recipe for disaster" not "a recipe for traffic" - and link to threads which explain why, at some length and in some detail ...

      what do i risk by paying for fiverr seo jobs on a new site?
      Fiverr Back Linking Services
      Fiverr SEO Gigs

      The general heading for Fiverr SEO gigs is basically "avoid like the plague". Especially anything that involves large numbers of software-built backlinks on non-relevant sites.

      Google's Penguin updates are specifically designed to identify and penalize the sites linked to by those "mass/automated backlinks", and as you can see from the "wailing threads" of all the Warriors whose sites have been deindexed or at least heavily penalized, having used "services" performed by them, they're getting very good at doing so. And they say very publicly that they intend to continue in that direction and that we should expect "more of the same".

    In the long run yes, you need to remember the amount of these internet marketing sites and help blogs - it is a very saturated market.

    I recently wrote for a IM blog writing reviews and help guides and they were struggling. They had been around for 2 years but were struggling to get reads. The amount of external marketing that was involved was quite a bit also.

    Good Luck though.

    You've heard of the 80/20 principle, correct?

    The same thing applies to blog promotion. Spend 20% of your time creating content for your blog, and the other 80% promoting your blog.

    Or, if you prefer to folow Alexa Smith's (among others) model, you can put all the content you create on your own blog and spend time building a list of other webmasters and ezine publishers who will take the same exact content and publish it for their own audiences.

    Actually, I kind of think the 80/20 rule is kind of silly. Who ever spends all their time doing only 2 things?

    Have to disagree with pretty much everyone on this post...I get 1000's of visitors to my sites each day based entirely on content on my site -mainly my blogs.

    I have not paid for an ad or syndicated content for years...still have syndicated content from a long time ago that brings in some traffic, but it is really very small.

    In addition to this I drive significant traffic from affiliate programs - my second largest source of traffic.

    With these two sources, I can clearly see (and test) which traffic converts. Good news is that they both convert, albeit the affiliate traffic generally converts at twice the rate of the traffic coming in through my blogs.

    However, my goal is to convert the top 10% (some blogs operate above this, some at this number) of traffic coming in against my own content onto my list - these are the hot buyers that then convert at a high percentage.

    Of course blogging and then sharing your blog content with social networks as well as linking back to your blog content from additional content like videos works...if you have good content people will come back and they will sign up to your list and then buy your stuff.

    What you will find is that it will take weeks (sometimes months) for your content to end up ranked at a certain location for given keywords, I have some blog posts that are on the first page of results and are the leaders in terms of bringing in traffic...you typically don't see this until weeks after you have published your content though.

    zourkas,

    You must think about how to attract traffic from outside to your blog. So you focus high quality content, instead of quantity blogposts on your blog.

    Zourkas,

    Just because you are writing good content and adding it to your blog does not mean that you will get a lot of traffic from it for years to come.

    There are some strategies that do work and some that don't for each individual.

    I know of some people who are doing this and get traffic for years and there are others who have crushed and burned.
