i have budget of $2000 per month and need targeted traffic, my niche is Forex Trading that is too competitive and PPC keywords are too high in Adwords,

my site is 8 years old Forex site and i changed CMS from Pligg to Wordpress to become more user friendly

but all 30k page gone and redirect to homepage.

my question is how should i split the amount $2000 between content creation and marketing and seo to increase domain authority and traffic fast?

my target is to increase traffic in long term but i need to increase traffic fast in short term too..can i get monthly 100.000 visitor fast with my budget ?

my site get ranked well in google for lower competitive 3-4-5 phrase keywords, should i pay writers to write for targeted keywords with lower ? or its better to
add quality content with higher price ?


how should i find and pay high quality professional writers? ..how much you pay for a 1000 words quality content ?

    I don't know much about traffic, but regarding writing, there are plenty of good writers here that could write you articles for the Forex niche. While I'm a writer, I can't help you since I know nothing about Forex and it's just not my cup of tea.

    You should look in the Warriors For Hire section and see if you find anything there. If not, you could post an ad in the Wanted - Members Looking To Hire You section and try to attract writers that way.

    One thing to keep in mind is that a good writer won't be cheap. If you get approached by people claiming to be great writers that only charge $5-$10, don't even bother responding to them. I think for a good quality article, you should pay at least $30 (for a 500-word article).

      that is exactly my question, to pay $30 for 3 article write for targeted keywords or pay $30 for example for 1 article ? .. which one is better and bring more traffic for me?

        Getting traffic and keeping the visitors on your websites are two different things. You could perhaps get more traffic from 3 cheaper articles than from one well written, but as soon as those people start reading them, they'll be turned off by how badly these "affordable" articles are written.

        Bringing in lots of traffic doesn't matter much if you can't retain and monetize it.

        So to answer your question: the more expensive article is better because it convinces more people to listen to you, and the cheaper ones will perhaps bring in more traffic.

        This is a meaningless question.

        Usually, cheaper writers produce lower quality.

        However, lower quality articles and ranking high in Google are not mutually exclusive.

        The article that will bring more traffic is the article that's better optimized for a keyword with low competition.

        Once you get the traffic, though, you need quality content...

    If you don't have high quality writing, most of the visitors you get will immediately bounce off your site to find something else that is of value to them.

    It doesn't matter if your keyword targeted articles get traffic in the first place if they leave your site; also, this will kill your Google rankings once the big G sees that users aren't getting a good experience.

    So to answer your question about how you should utilize your budget:

    Pay for high quality content, it beats quantity.

    Regards,
    Daniel

    I would be surprised if you can find an experienced and successful Forex trader to write for less than 15 cents a word.

    Why 100k? I think you're pretty seriously high for Forex.

    A legitimate site in the Forex niche getting that kind of traffic would be worth millions of dollars, you're not going to get there with a 2k a month budget any time soon.

    Why not shoot for something a bit more obtainable, maybe 10k? If the site has lots of quality content along with articles about the brokers which have affiliate links to sign up, the site would still be make quite a bit. Once you get there, just scale the site up.

    Seriously, you might as well ask "How do I get to 1m UV/month in the luxury homes sales niche?"

    The thread title might as well be "How do I make a 2 Million dollars by the end of the month?"

    You can't. Simple as that.

    Your goal is completely unreasonable and unrealistic. If you knew anything about your own niche, you would know that.

      There you go again, Mike, ruining a beautiful dream like that.. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I say, tsk!

      The interesting question: why do so many people want 100k traffic fast? (Let's leave alone the fact that in some niches that's several times more traffic than possible visitors). What's wrong with 87K or 24K.

      I mean, if I pushed a button and out popped 24k targeted visitors, I'd be quite happy.

      How come people don't start at the start of reality?

      Or with where they want to be. I want 100k visitors a month to my site. What has to happen before that happens?

      Pages on my site must be viewed 1 million times. How do I get 1 million views?

      I must have a gazillion pages viewed 1 time each or 1 page that gets shown 1 mil times.

      How do I get there...

      And you end up with a site that makes you a few hundred to a few thousand real dollars in real reality.

      I know it's nice to dream big... but it don't last. Putting in the thinking and work required has lasting results.

      So, why, why, why, Mike?

          It's crap traffic. You are just flushing money down the drain.

              My suggestion is that you give up on getting 100k visitors per month on a $2k budget. It is not going to happen.

                Or switch niches.

                A website of kitten/puppy pictures could do that with FB traffic alone.

                  Dude, the recommended bid for the keyword "forex" on adwords is $5.12 and the bid for "forex broker" is $12.88. Obviously the traffic isn't going to be dirt cheap on those competitive ad networks. We don't sit around and test campaigns out just for giggles... How would we know if it's a waste of money for YOUR niche?

                  Even if we were in the forex niche, why would we tell you that? Do you want the recipe for Coca cola as well?

                  You're the forex dude right? ForexSQ.com ......... You've got a site with 50-60 pages of content, what was the cost of that compared to each visitor the site gets? (Cost of content + SEO) / organic traffic = cost per visitor. I'm not going to do your math homework for you.

                  Hey Mike, I'm doing lead gen for a plastic surgeon who only works with celebrities and wealthy people, do you think it's a good idea to try taboola? Facebook maybe? Adwords? I can make 100k a month with 2k ad spend right?

            I've use(d) both of them, fuzzy bunny niches combined with shocking facts though.

            Example: Did you know that one of the ingredients of Cool Whip is also used as a condom lubricant? A true fact. So if you eat Cool Whip, you're eating condom lubricant, sadly, it's probably not the first time either. (Eaten it, in food, that is.)

            The click rate has to be stupid high or it doesn't really work.

    simply split money in to content writing, and organic seo don't pay for buying traffic.

    I prefer to spend $500 for content. The rest for marketing and SEO
    You are kidding. With $2k you can not get 100k visitor fast. However, you can build step by step. Enhance your content, make your site valuable with readers.
    When you get profit, you need to increase for promotion (content, marketing).
    Example: 1st month, you make $6k, you can use $2k for promotion.
    2nd month, you make $10k, you can use $4k for promotion
    If you do not have experience, try with $200-$300/month and increase when the system work.

    I recommend you hire good writers with high price. You get what you pay. And you need to research first and make outline for your writers. They need to follow it.

    You can find it on Warrior For Hire in this forum
    With 1000 words you need to pay at least $20
    If you want to save money, you can find them at Upwork. You need to interview and test to find the suitable writers.

    Save your money and write the content yourself to get traffic.
    Target low comp keywords, 3-4 phrases that not many people are interested to write about. I often look for low comp keywords in Google keyword planner under 500 visitors a month and write articles based around those.
    My forex blog just hit the 20,000 visitors milestone mark in May. I sold my previous blog for $5,000 in flippa.com and learnt a lot about what kind of content to write about and using that knowledge I have really grown my traffic so quickly on this new forex blog. The previous blog was only getting around 6000 visitors per month after 3 years.
    To put that in perspective, my traffic in January for my new forex blog was only 2000 visitors. So I have grown my site from 2000 visitors a month to 20,000 visitors in just 5 months this year.
    Fact be known, its hard work writing myself but that is a niche I have a passion in so it does not seem like hard work at all.
    I'm on track to getting maybe 30,000-40,000 visitors this month. Im CRAZY but I'm aiming for 250,000 visitors per month, how long it takes me to get there, I really don't care. To give you an idea, I write about everything in forex to target everything that I can from strategies, to technical analysis to fundamental analysis to current events, trends in forex, forex brokers, you name it. That strategy seems to be working really well.
    In addition,on thing that I tend to do is that once in a while, I'd write a PILLAR ARTICLE. These are articles in excess of 5,000 to 20,000 words. I currently have about 5 or 6 pillar articles targeting high volume high comp keywords. Im really not really interested in the main keywords in those articles (because I know it will be hard to get them ranked quickly)but within those articles are low comp keywords and phrases keywords that are now somehow appearing in google page 1-10.

    I think this is the recipe for getting 100,000 visitors a month at the end of this year.
