SEO is one of the key marketing strategies to organically get over 1.5 million visits to your site every month.
Having a website with a profitable source of visitors is not an easy task considering the lots of time it’ll take as well as the money you’re not happy to invest, just to get that traffic up to where it needs to be. So I was encouraged by the findings of a startup building platform (Buildd) recent report on organic traffic generation. According to the report, there are some tough truths to consider when it comes to the best marketing strategy to generate Organic traffic to sites.
According to the report, the #1 marketing strategy for driving organic traffic, especially for sites looking to generate 1.5m+ per month of inbound traffic, is SEO
So many people need the solution you offer in your blog, so many people need the goods or services you offer in your blog, they want to read your story and the best way they know to find you is to search for you in online search engines. How? Use keywords that relate to what you offer – that is if you position yourself enough for them to find you. How can you position yourself and make yourself visible to these potential customers? You either pay Google to list your page in SERP or list yourself organically by optimizing your blog to SEO
