Generated 20,000+ Traffic to My Blog in Just 3 Months

This is not a huge number but I bet it is the dream of many Bloggers.

So what do I do?

In this article, I will share my journey of building a Blog from 0 traffic to 20,000 in just 3 months as you can see above. So, the goal is that we will earn an average of about 222 traffic per day.

Sounds easy enough, right?

I will give you how I do it as well as some tips, if you apply it well, it is not a problem to aim higher than me.

Let's get started!

Why does your blog need traffic?

Before going into the main part, I want you to answer and understand the above question.

Your blog needs traffic because traffic is a measure of how many people visit and visit your blog. To be exact, whether you make money and grow in the future depends on traffic.

There are many reasons why traffic is so important for your blog:

  1. Increase your blog's reach: With more traffic, your blog has the potential to reach a larger audience, especially those who have never heard of your blog before. This can help increase your chances of attracting new readers and growing your blog.
  2. Increase readership: With more traffic, your blog is likely to attract a larger audience, which can help increase your blog's loyal readership and increase the number of comments, shares, likes, or follows from your readers.
  3. Increase Sales: If your blog is used to promote a company’s products or services, then traffic is crucial to increasing sales. If you have a lot of traffic, then the chances of a certain number of readers buying your products or using your services are higher.
  4. Increased Credibility: With more traffic, your blog is more likely to become popular, and be perceived as more authoritative and trustworthy. This can help increase reader engagement, and help your blog become more widely known.

In short, traffic is very important for your blog, as it can help increase your reach, increase your readership, increase sales, and increase the credibility of your blog.

How I Generated 20,000 Traffic/Month for My Blog

Note: The way I do it is free traffic so you will have a long-term strategy and save a lot of money. If you have financial resources, don't say 20k traffic in 3 months, even one day is more than enough by running Google or Facebook ads .

However, I understand that when you come here, your budget is quite limited and your goal is long-term, so patience and practice are what you need to equip yourself with.

Now let's practice.

Step 1: Keyword Research

Keyword research is an important step for SEO, it helps you understand your target audience who will access your content through search engines. At the same time, you can create highly interactive articles, solve readers' problems and easily build good relationships with them.

For example if you are going to write a Blog post about “working from home” then you need to identify keywords that people might search for:

  • Make Money at Home
  • Work from home
  • Make Money Online

Of course no one would make such a guess.

That's why keyword research tools were born to help you do this more simply and effectively,

To research keywords, I often use Kwfinder to find keywords related to the topic of the article. Besides, I also care about keywords with high search volume and low competition.

For example: With the idea of ​​a Blog post about becoming a Freelancer, I have chosen the keywords:

  • Freelancer (1000 searches/month, difficulty level 24) – This is also the main keyword for the article.
  • Freelancer Jobs (3300 searches/month, difficulty 18)
  • freelance jobs (890 searches/month. difficulty 14)
  • Freelancer (420 searches/month. Difficulty 16)

Normally, I will choose 1 main keyword and about 3-4 secondary keywords to spread it throughout the article content. This is especially important because the secondary keywords will support the main keyword to rank the content very well, and sometimes the secondary keywords will rank higher than the main keyword.

But remember not to overuse secondary keywords or Google will consider you spam and you know the result.

You should also choose long-tail keywords because they often have higher conversion rates and less competition than short-tail keywords.

short-tail keywords

Okay, so you've researched and understood your audience, let's move on to the next step.

Step 2: Create quality content

Once you have your list of keywords, you need to create high-quality content for your blog that meets user intent and provides value to them.

To create quality content for SEO, I often apply the following principles:

  • Write content in the language of your target audience : You need to understand who your blog readers are, what problems they have, what they are looking for, and what they like to read. You need to write content that is appropriate to the level of understanding, needs, and interests of your readers.
  • Write content according to the keyword's purpose : You need to analyze the user's intent when searching for the keyword you want to rank high. You need to write content that answers questions, solves problems, or provides information that users need.
  • Write SEO-friendly content: You need to optimize on-page SEO elements like titles, descriptions, header tags, alt tags, links, and other elements to help Google understand your content and rank higher for your target keywords.
  • Write content by topic: You need to structure your content around a main topic and related subtopics. You need to use related keywords to supplement the main keyword and increase the ability to cover the topic. You also need to link related articles to create a logical website structure that is convenient for users and Google.
  • Write content in a blog format: You need to write your content in a common blog format such as an introduction, how-to, comparison, review, or list post. You need to divide your content into sections such as a headline, introduction, body, and conclusion. You also need to use engaging writing techniques such as storytelling, illustrative examples, suggestive questions, or calls to action.

If you are feeling vague about the above principles, here are some enlightening articles for you:

To create quality blog post content as well as do SEO, you cannot write a quality article in just a few days. Instead, you just keep writing and optimizing gradually, over time you will see your skills improve and SEO results also increase naturally.

That's why content and SEO always go together.

Step 3: Optimize Onpage SEO

Once you have content, you need to optimize for Onpage SEO, which means optimizing the elements within the page.

It sounds complicated but actually if you use WordPress it's as easy as pie, just install an SEO plugin and do some configuration in the article and you're done.

I usually use Rank Math for this, but if you don't like it, you can use YoastSEO.

Optimize Meta Title tag

Meta Title is the title displayed on Google when users search for keywords related to the article.

The Meta Title tag should contain the main keyword of the article, be about 50-60 characters long and attract the reader's attention.

For example: What is a Freelancer? Instructions on how to become a Freelancer from AZ.

Optimize article links

This is the URL of the article, which also appears on Google when users search.

Although it is not as important an SEO factor as before, I still often optimize article links by adding the main keyword. You should also make sure it is concise but still covers the entire content of the article.

Example: https://bitcoinfreebitsler8.blogspot.com

Optimize Meta Description

This is the description of the article's content, which also appears on Google when users search.

Meta Description should contain the main keyword and 1-2 secondary keywords, be about 150-160 characters long and clearly describe the value that the article brings to readers.

For example: What is Freelancer? Freelancing is a trend among young people because of its freedom and comfort. The latest way to become a Freelancer.

Optimize the introduction

This is the first part of the article content, which appears on the Blog when users access the article link.

The introduction should grab the reader's attention, introduce the problem the article will solve, and make a promise of the desired outcome.

For example:

Did you know that blogging is one of the most effective marketing tools to attract potential customers for your business?

But how to get a Blog with high and stable traffic? In this article, I will share with you a case study on how I attracted 20,000 traffic from my Blog with just 3 simple but effective Onpage SEO steps.

After reading this article, you will have the necessary knowledge and skills to apply to your Blog and increase traffic quickly.

After reading this you just want to scroll down, right?

Optimize the body

The body of the article should be divided into short paragraphs for easy reading and not boring, use H1, H2, H3,… heading tags to classify the content, insert illustrative images and sprinkle related keywords that you have researched initially.

Optimize other factors

In addition to the important factors above, if you have time, you can also consider improving the following factors:

  • Page load speed: I solved this problem with a lightweight theme like GeneratePress and the cache plugin Wp Rocket.
  • Mobile-friendly interface design: If you use WordPress, you don't need to worry about this because it's already optimized.
  • SSL Security: Helps secure your Blog during data transmission, see my Blog creation guide to learn how to install free SSL.
  • Sitemap, robot.txt: Data files that declare SEO Blog with Google, you can see how to create a sitemap here .

And that's all the Offpage SEO optimization I've done for the article to improve its ranking, but there's one more step.

Step 4: Link Building

Link building is an important method to improve website rankings on search engines and attract traffic from different sources.

Links are important because they help:

  • Increase Google's search ability: Google uses links to index and rank websites. When there are many quality links to your website, Google will consider your website to be authoritative and provide value to users, thus ranking higher in search results.
  • Increase Traffic: When you have more links coming to your website from different sources, you have more opportunities to attract new and returning readers. Additionally, when you have more internal links within your website, you keep users on your website longer and increase conversion rates.
  • Increase brand credibility: When you have many links from reputable and relevant websites pointing to your website, you will create trust and professionalism with potential customers. This will help you build your brand and increase sales.

There are 2 types of links that I optimize: Internal link and Backlink.

Internal link: These are internal links in the Blog, for example a link from namcung.com to namcung.com/kiem-tien-online is called an internal link.

Optimizing this type of link is extremely easy, you just need to create links from new articles to previously published related articles. This helps search engines understand that the pages in the Blog are related and increases the possibility of appearing in search results.

Backlink: These are links from external websites pointing to your website. For example, a link from vnexpress.net to namcung.com is called a backlink.

Building backlinks is actually not easy, it even takes time and effort, but if you do it well it will pull very good traffic from sites with related content.

I don't have much time, so the way I often build backlinks is to share the content of articles on social networking platforms, and I occasionally write guest posts on blogs related to my blog.

Note that when building backlinks, you need to pay attention to relevance. For example, if your blog is about travel, you must post guest posts on websites related to booking, travel equipment, and dining locations. If you write on a website about interior design, Google will likely consider it spam and reduce your DA (domain authority).

Measure your SEO efforts

Once you do the above steps consistently and frequently, your traffic will likely increase over time. However, you can’t predict it.

So make sure you connect your Blog to Google Search Console and Google Analytics. These 2 tools will give you specific reports on traffic such as the number of visitors, which pages have the most interest, which keywords have the most clicks, where the main audience comes from, etc.

Based on that, you can evaluate the effectiveness of the SEO campaign as well as make decisions to adjust or develop based on the advantages.

Conclusion

Hopefully through this case study you have a new strategy to generate traffic for your Blog, maybe at first it is a bit difficult and makes you discouraged and want to give up.

However, it is not a wise mindset for a Blogger, it is a challenge before you take further steps.

So, if you don't have a solution to get traffic for your Blog, apply my steps, it will bring you surprising results.

In summary again, what we will have to do is:

  • Identify your target audience to create content that is relevant and optimized for them
  • Create quality content to provide more value to readers
  • Optimize Onpage SEO to make content friendly to search engines like Google so that it prioritizes high rankings on results
  • Build links to power your Offpage SEO and get more traffic from external websites
  • Measure the effectiveness of your steps and optimize further

That's basically it, if you stick to this formula and persevere I believe you will see results after a few months.

Okay! Let's deploy it on your Blog.
