Our Traffic Acquisition Experiments:

Using Keywords in Headings and Subheadings:

We actively use keywords in the headings (H1) and subheadings (H2, H3, etc.) of our content. This helps search engines better understand the theme of our content and improves its position in search results.

Meta Tags Optimization:

We actively used keywords in page meta tags, such as the page title (title tag) and description (meta description). These meta tags appear in search results and can influence users' decision to click on your link. Additionally, we added extra meta tags to enhance visibility and informativeness of the pages.

Social Media:

Regular Publications:

We experimented with maintaining activity on our social profiles by regularly posting content. Our arsenal included articles from our blog, news from our niche, discussion topics, as well as various content formats such as images and videos.

Using Hashtags:

We tried using hashtags in our posts to expand the reach of our content and attract new subscribers. We experimented with popular hashtags in our niche.

Mobile Site Optimization:

We implemented responsive design for the mobile version of our site.

Results:

Over the past 30 days, my blog has attracted over 700 unique visitors. For me, this is a significant achievement and a sign that my efforts are yielding results. However, I understand that this is just the beginning, and I'm ready to continue working to further develop my blog.

Stats

As for the conclusions we drew this month:

  1. Conduct Keyword Research: Conduct research to determine which keywords are most relevant to your niche and content. Use keyword research tools such as Google Keyword Planner or SEMrush to determine the popularity and competitiveness of keywords.

  2. Regular Content Publication is crucial.

  3. Posts on social media often appear higher in search results than your website. Posting content on social media is essential.

  4. Your engagement on social media affects the traffic to your profile, which also impacts your website's traffic.

  5. Internal Linking Structure: Create well-structured internal links between your website pages. This will help search engines index your content and improve its ranking.

I still have much to do. My goal remains to make my blog even more engaging and useful for you, my readers.
