Hi SEOs,
I worked on a client’s SEO project in 2019 where we published 20 articles each month for 6 straight months, and after 6 months the site was getting 45,000 monthly traffic.
– 15 articles were 1000 words each, and
– other 5 were 3000 words each
3000-words articles were set up as pillar pages and 1000-words ones as supporting pages. Mostly, long-tail keywords were targeted for the first 3 months.
We got all the topic ideas (questions and long-tail keywords) from forums like Reddit and Quora. There was no manual backlinking process done but internal linking was aggressive (at least, 3-4 internal links in each article).
Same process of publishing 20 articles (5 pillar, 15 supporting) went on for the next 6 months, and when we checked Google Analytics they were getting 45,000 monthly visitors (earlier the site had 13 articles and 300 monthly traffic).
And, the best thing guys, recently I talked to one of their guys and he told me that now the site gets 170,000 monthly traffic. Fun fact, they have only published 5 more articles after our contract was over 2 years ago.
Guys, start creating more and more quality content, it definitely helps in the long run.
What are your thoughts on this? Any similar experience?
Thank you.
