8 Months to 130k Pageviews: SEO Case Study

What do you call it when you raid competitor websites for all their best keywords and leave the junk behind?

And how can you search for keywords that will have a better chance of ranking over the usual methods?

The team over at Niche Website Builders has a fantastic case study to share with us this week that answers those questions.

It showcases their own unique SEO strategy that they call ‘Tomb Raiding SEO’ we'll cover the details of the name in this case study.

Mark Mars from Niche Website Builders reveals how he took one of the sites in his portfolio from 0 to over 130k page views per month in just 8 months.

How?

A modest aged domain, lots of informational content, and leveraging the Niche Website Builders ‘Tomb Raiding SEO’ technique.

When we do traditional keyword research and then write content, you typically find that most of the content won’t generate a lot of traffic. It’s very common for 20% of the content on a site to generate 80% of the traffic.

The Tomb Raiding Keyword Research method is a way to let other websites test what works and what doesn’t for us - and it’s proven to be very successful on their case study website.

Mark reveals how he did it in the guest post on Niche Pursuits here.

My top performing page will soon "Fly" away

My top page on OTY for July for the number of page views and page time was a how-to style post on "How to Get Rid of Flies on Patio".

Take a look at how this page progressed. The post was actually published in June 2020. For an entire year, the post essentially got zero traffic.

Then in April 2021, I updated the post. This is when things started to get hot.

The post significantly started gaining more traffic. For reference, I did zero backlinking on this page.

But at the same time, the weather started getting warmer, meaning more flies, which meant more people are searching for how to get rid of them.

A lot of OTY content is seasonal, but this one really took off this summer.

What do you think caused this post to go from zero to hero? Did the post just need time to get indexed and no one was searching how to get rid of flies during the winter months? Or did my updated post content give it the nudge it needed?

My gut tells me it's a little of both. What do you think?

Let me know in the Niche Pursuits Facebook Group here.

Thanks again,

Spencer
