How I Grew Organic Traffic 471% in the Last 12 Months! + 8 SEO Deals...

Something incredible has happened with my site over the past 12 months.

My organic traffic from Google has increased a whopping 471% when compared with this same time last year!

​

My site, NichePursuits.com, has been around for a long time, but a little over a year ago, I decided it was time to revamp, re-energize, and boost the growth of the site.

The results have been even better than I could have expected, especially when you consider the long history of the site.

So, how did I achieve these results?

Here's the high level strategy (but please know that I plan to do a full case study in the near future that goes into more depth):

• Developed a content plan to have better topical coverage of existing topics.
• Developed a content plan to cover keywords/topics that were tangentially related to existing articles.
• Restructured site categories based on above plans (added and removed several site categories).
• Removed and/or redirected some old content that was not relevant or underperforming.
• Did in-depth internal link research and analysis. (Using Link Whisper)
• Added internal links to any orphaned pages that I wanted to rank (Using Link Whisper)
• Removed internal links pointing to un-important articles. (Using Link Whisper)
• Added new internal links to better structure topical authority. (Link Whisper).
• Removed broken links, 404 pages, and links with errors (Using Link Whisper).
• Added hundreds of new articles to the site.
• Hired more writers and editors to help scale the business.
• Created SOPs to better remove myself as a bottleneck in the business.
• Launched a new web design to make the site more professional, faster, and more mobile friendly.
• Implemented a process to always include at least 1 internal link TO any newly published article (to prevent orphaned pages in the future).

I may have missed a bullet point or two, but in general, this was the strategy.

You may notice that it's ALL on-page SEO focused. I did no off-page SEO.

You may have also noticed that several of the steps involved using Link Whisper.

Yes, I created Link Whisper to be the ultimate internal link management, reporting, and implementation tool out there...but I truly do use it in my own business.
