I have published keyword reports once per week for the the last 10 weeks so we can easily track the progress and see the results of our labor. Anyone who've been participating in the whole "Optimize LeoFinance For Organic Growth"-thing knows that it doesn't really include hard work in that sense to make some minor content optimization though, so labor might be the wrong word..
Just let’s call it the results for the time we've been putting in instead.
For those of you who've been following the reports closely should already have been able to see the difference from one report to the other, but it's time for a comparision. I want everyone to see and understand the importance of optimziation and to show you the results is likely the best idea.
That being said, we started out 10 weeks ago with 378 keywords that brought us real, unique traffic from Google. We have seen a steady increase week after week and we're up to an amazing 1700 keywords after just 10 weeks of doing this. That's ~1500 more keywords that have been driving people to LeoFinance from Google. All due to what people are searching for online.
I have included more details over time in the reports so we started out with just organic search positions, volume, cpc and traffic percentage in the beginning. The last report contained all the above, keyword difficulty, costs percentage, previous position, expected monthly visitors, last update of keywords, keywords that dropped and page views from simpleanalytics as well.
Our "famous" andrei jikh portfolio post was driving the majority of the organic traffic 10 weeks ago with an incredible 23.33% of all the traffic coming from Google. Then came all the CPC (paid traffic) from who I suppose are 
However, the "andrei jikh portfolio" still stood for 7.72% of all the organic traffic coming to LeoFinance during week 10. Without paid traffic.
The post we got most organic traffic from was the dogeland post, but it was only fourth in the list of costs for paid traffic. That simply means that it was able to drive a good chunk of traffic without anyone paying for it.
The "gencoin" post is the post that has the highest costs, at 24.37% of all the costs, and it has brought 16.86% of all the traffic. The "Is Shiba Inu coin a scam or legit?" post on the other hand, has only pulled in 2.57% of the traffic meanwhile having 15.96% of the costs.
The costs I am talking about is simply put the CPC, which means cost per click. You pay a certain amount per click and you obviously want good traffic, but you also want quantity if you are looking for something to grow.
That being said, you can't measure success just by looking at numbers like this when it comes to CPC. In fact, it's usually a good idea to go with trends and things that are hot, so it might be well-worth the money you spend for traffic. My personal opinion is to stop spending money on traffic for the Shiba Inu-post though. At least for now.
I only started to track the number of users expected to visit the website a few weeks ago so there aren't that much of a difference yet. We started out at 352 unique website visitors coming from search engines 3 weeks ago and we're up to a guesstimation by SEMRush of 427.
That's 427 real, unique users in a month, if the organic traffic stays relatively the same. That equates to ~14 people per day coming from Google. Imagine a few months from now when we will see hundreds of people per day coming from Google because they found your content when they searched for something..
- Pretty cool, right?
How can ~14 people become hundreds in "a few months" you might ask? - The easy answer is obviously that it's impossible for me to know the amount of traffic we will get months from now. However, everything adds up and the more keywords we rank for, the more content will be visible for people.
So, with our current progress, ranking ~1500 keywords in 10 weeks, I am sure we will be up to a total of 2500 or even 3000 keywords in another 10 weeks. Perhaps even more than that.
- That depends on us.
