DISQUS

Nice math above Vic. This post push me to check my Google Analytics. One of my sites contains 760 pages that includes 300 pictures in the gallery. The average daily hits is 2000 at 2.6 pageviews per day from an average of 260 unique visitors per day. The stats is very low but very inspiring because I did not do any promotion except of putting some buttons from free directories. You are correct by saying that SEO and content are part of each other for more than 50% of my traffic came from search engine. I did not do any special thing about SEO, even meta tags are not implemented to the site.

Your math is fairly accurate, at least to my site, not sure though for sites with special SEO efforts like link building and PPC to drive traffic. A more interesting fact is that traffic from search engine converts more than direct traffic and referring sites. After reading this post, my plan is to do the numbers. More quality pages = more visitors from search engines = more money. :)

Thank you for posting this and more power.

Hi Sir,

I'm glad you have visited. You are right, content enriching is an ultimate key to SEO success. If this is done together with proper promotion and link building (submitting to directories, article submission to article directories, commenting, etc), this assures anyone's success in attracting traffic, visitors, clients and profit.

Wow your site, gets a lot of hits than mine. That's great. 90% of my traffic come from search engines. Also, some of my articles, are placed in the top position in Google for specific keywords - they are the ones who give me most of the traffic. If you notice, I already reached alexa rank of 230,000. This is becuase I also create contents that are useful for global audience. This pulls traffic from US, UK and India. If you only get traffic solely in your country and not globally, you may not be able to get a higher alexa rank. I also observe (if I am not mistaken), that the sites that mostly get the first page in the search engines, are those that have higher alexa rank.

Hello again Vic, I actually visit your blog regularly and I am one of your RSS subscribers, but its been a long time that I do another comment, :).

I tried many ways to rank higher in Alexa but unfortunately no success. I used their toolbar, I put Alexa widget to my site but I am still in the million rank grrr. Maybe you're right, its hard to get higher in Alexa with audience confined only in our country. But still my rank in our own country is very low. I hope you share something specific on how to get higher in Alexa. I was disapproved by one income generating program because I do not rank well in Alexa, really disappointed.

Hi there, what I did to achieve my ranking in Alexa is to post an article as many as I can (at least 4 times a week - more articles is better). According to alexa, the top 4 countries where my visitors are coming from are (1) USA, (2) Phil, (3) India (4) UK. This means my visitors are distributed globally. Using wordpress also became a big advantage to me. I also use all-in-one-SEO-pack plugin for wordpress.

I have checked your alexa ranking. I found out that more than 50% of your visitors are coming from other (unknown) countries, rather than specific countries like Philippines, USA, etc. That maybe the reason why you have lower ranking. Maybe you need to expand your audience by promoting your site in far places (that have far IP adress) or create contents that will pull traffic from dispersed address.

I also observed that you have less sites linking to your site as reported by alexa. I recommend you should also increase effort in link building. You can do that by commenting on other blogs, submitting articles to directories, adding your links to directories, participating in forums and social sites. One tip......you check a site related to your site that has more links linking to that site in Alexa. Visit those links, and try to make or put a link on them.

I can say is the more we write the more possibilities of our site to be noticed. I don't usually write long article.

I like the concept of RUN [Rich, Unique and Natural (RUN) ], a nice site ...

Thanks Dexter! You have a great site too. Short or long article - what important is it's quality and how it can help and become useful to users.
