How I Grew My Traffic by 76% Through One Simple Tool

I've got a pretty cool SEO hack for you today that will boost your rankings and organic traffic with very little effort.

This strategy is so effective it will massively increase your traffic.

As you can see from the image above it generated me 76% more traffic.

So, what is it?

Google prefers up to date, in-depth and accurate content. However, if you're only publishing new content, your old content can become irrelevant and receive less and less traffic over time.

You may have already noticed that some of your older pages used to get much more traffic than they do now. Or that you keep writing content and your traffic barely goes up.

So how do you revive your old content and get even more traffic than you used to have?

I'm going to show the strategy I use on my older content. It's so effective, I have 3 full-time people that just do this for me.

Let's get started...

Step #1 - Look at one of your older pieces of content. What’s the main keyword you are targeting with that page?

Step #2 - Once you have the keyword, head over to Ubersuggest and type in the keyword and hit "search".

Step #3 - On the left-hand navigation click on "keyword ideas".

This will take you to a report that looks something like this...

Now I want you to click on the "related" tab as this will show you a really big list of keywords related to the one you just typed in.

Step #4 - It's time to find more keywords that you can easily rank for. So click on "filters".

You'll see a ton of fields that are empty. In the SEO difficulty box, put a max value of 40 and then hit apply.

Your results will be updated and will look something like this.

This will show you all of the keywords that have an SEO difficulty of 40 or less.

What that means is these keywords are easier to rank for on Google. SEO difficulty is a score from 1 to 100. The higher the number the harder it is to rank for on Google. The lower the number, the easier it is to rank for.

As you keep scrolling more keywords will load... sometimes as you scroll it takes a few seconds for more keywords to appear as some reports literally have over a million results.

Step #5 - I want you to go through the list of keywords and integrate them into your old page.

Now, don't just stuff in these keywords into the page. Update the page by making it more valuable for your visitors. And if any of these keywords fit in nicely, add them. But again, don't stuff them in, the last thing you want to hurt the user experience.

Step #6 - It's time to rinse and repeat with all of your older pages. As you do this you'll get more and more traffic over time.

As a goal, I want you to do this with 3 pages a week. After a month or two you'll see more traffic. After 6 months you'll really see your traffic grow.

Bonus tip - On the keywords ideas report, you’ll also notice a CPC column.

This stands for cost per click. This is roughly how much it costs to buy this keyword through a paid ad.

Now, of course, you are trying to rank organically and not pay for the keyword, but the general rule of thumb is that you want to rank for keywords in the organic results that cost more. Because those keywords tend to generate more leads and sales.
