Traffic Is What It Takes
You may or may not have seen the previous contests I've hosted. Both of them was about link-building and I basically wanted people to create "support posts" to two of my previous posts. I still haven't looked at the entries for the last contest, but the first one was amazing. I was really satisfied with the results for the first contest so I decided to up the prizes by 350 LEO just due to the awesome entries I found. Literally everyone got a prize at the end.
However, to give people an even better understanding of things, I want to tell you that I published a post on 06-06-2021. That's almost exactly one year ago. It is my best performing post to this date, in terms of traffic. That post is in the top 10 of the best performing posts that brings in organic traffic to LeoFinance.
The post I am talking about is this:
A short 692 word post sits on rank 3 on Google for multiple keyword variations and generates traffic each and every month. That is the power of optimized content.
Here's the thing, the keywords has low search volume. For instance:
"how often can you buy and sell crypto" has a search volume of 50 per month.
"how often can i buy and sell crypto" has a search volume of even less, only 20 per month.
Looking at one other example, we have:
"how often should you buy and sell crypto" that sits on a search volume of 10 per month.
This is obviously not the best keywords one could have, as one would rather ranked high for highly competitive keywords. However, these keywords sits on position 3 and generates traffic.
The first keyword I mentioned, with a search volume of 50 brings in 14 visitors per month. The second keyword, the one that has a search volume of 20 per month, brings in 7 visitors and the last keywords brings 4 visitors out of 10 monthly searches..
- At position 3 on Google!
With some optimization and after the recent link-building contest I've hosted, it's very likely to see this post rank even higher on Google. Imagine position 1. I bet we're likely to see a drastic change in traffic, even though we're still just talking about a handful of visitors in total due to the total search volume.
- This is the reason optimized content is vital for overall growth.
Imagine making 1 optimized post per day. Take the weekends of and whatever and you're still up to 250-300 posts in one year. All of them might not bring in 36 visitors, but how about 4, 5 or 6 on some of them.. Imagine 10, 15 or even 50 on a few others..
- Imagine ranking some outstanding keywords and generate hundreds of visitors per month..
This is why I've been talking about optimized content. This is the reason I continuously talk about the importance of optimized content, how vital it is for growth and how Hive & LeoFinance will benefit in such immense ways no one has seen before.
Organic traffic will take us to new heights and even though not all of us are creating optimized content, imagine everyone making one single optimized post per week. The potential is insane, but most people are still ignoring it. Despite the fact that it's undeniable facts at this point.
You can't beat Google with whatever marketing stunts you do. Google will beat you in terms of traffic and exposure in the long haul no matter what you do. Reward optimized content, regardless if you understand it or not. It will benefit you in the long haul.

do you have a beginner guide?

A beginners guide for optimized content? - I published a mini-series in 2020. You can find it below:

I'm just learning about optimizing contents. It'll do the community a greater good if everyone can try to optimize each and every content we create on leofinance/Hive.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
There's literally nothing out there that beat optimized content is terms of organic traffic and growth in the long haul. It's ridiculously undervalued and underappreciated in general on Hive.
There are people who focus on optimized content though, and they have stunning results in terms of traffic. Hive/LeoFinance would benefit greatly by more optimized content though.

What tool are you using to get the stats and track the progress of your posts?
Incredible work!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
These stats are from Ubersuggest. I also use- or have used SimpleAnalytics and Semrush previously to track certain stats.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I started investigating SEO and SEO optimization. What do you think is the best SEO Optimization Software?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If you mean SEO Optimization Tools, I would suggest Simpleanalytics for anyone looking for a free tool to track some traffic details.
Ubersuggest & Semrush are other tools I recommend. Ahrefs is another really great tool.

I wish we heard more from the team about ad revenue and how that can be used to put a price floor under the LEO token.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah, would be really nice with an update about the Ad Revenue. I'm sure it will bring a lot of eyeballs towards optimized content once it's announced how the Ad Revenue will be spread among the users.

These things will give you a good explanation of how to make optimized content.
Other posts I recommend, that will give you a better understanding of organic traffic and why it's important:
That's just a few of the posts I've published in the past about optimized content, the importance of organic traffic and how it all will lead to growth.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is really awesome, kudos to you for continuously coming up with optimized contents. This is one thing I'm really challenged with. There are things on my drafts but unable to finish them, lol! I need to re-read your guides.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Optimized content is king, there's no question about it. I wish we had more optimized content and that more people would realize how powerful optimized evergreen content is- and can be.
Might see a shift once the LEO Team announce how the Ad Revenue will be split among the users.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It would be really good to be able to create one that stays evergreen :)
The Ad Revenue is interesting and hope to see how it is going to work.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

I think optimized content will help but I wonder if having a more successful application would also work. It's something on my mind for a while now but I do agree that having more SEO is better than not having it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What application do you mean?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
