Yes. I Bring Traffic To LeoFinance & Hive.

Here I Am. Again.

It might look like I am not as active as I used to be, but I am doing a lot of work behind the scenes. I have been a part of this blockchain since the Steemit days and even though I got a huge boost of confidence and passion once I arrived on LeoFinance, I knew that things would have to change eventually..

While being a top author on LeoFinance multiple times and placing myself within the engagement leaderboards was a lot of fun, and something I personally thought would be almost impossible for me, a lot of things have changed during these past few months..

Lack of time is one of the reasons for my new approach, but I have not stopped being active for a single second. I am just not as visible anymore because I do a lot of work "behind the scenes". Work I am not being paid for and work no one have asked me to do..

Even though I decided to change my approach for various reasons, I figured that pushing out content in an attempt to grow my stake and pushing out hundreds of comments per week wasn't something that would last forever. I knew that from the start, but I did what I could for as long as I could. It was fun and an amazing experience. LeoFinance gave me a lot of confidence and it brought back motivation that I have been missing for a very long period of time..

I was eager to continue my journey and I was looking forward to place myself within the engagement leaderboards regularly and I aimed to push out a bunch of content as my goal was to grow my account, and even though I still want all of that, I have been doing things differently for quite some time.

I am more focused on boosting traffic to LeoFinance and Hive, and I do that by pushing content to the top of google. While some people are very active and visible, my work is often not visible, seen or appreciated for that very reason..

Don't get me wrong though, no one asked me to do the things I do or have done so far. No one asked me to optimize content in an attempt to increase organic traffic towards our blockchain. This is- and has been my own decision and I know that some people are grateful for the things I do. Equally grateful as I am to be a part of this amazing thing.

I have talked previously about my LeoFinance article that sits on top of google so there is a chance that you have seen that somewhere before. I am talking about:

Some of the things I have been doing lately, is to make sure that the article will remain on top of Google and I have started to rank other keywords as well. Keywords related to the previous one, but still different enough to pull in more traffic over time. I am going for organic traffic because I am certain of the fact that organic traffic can and will be game changing for all of us with time, especially with the use of evergreen content.

This is how things are right now:

How To Earn Crypto From Blogging In 2021

As you can see, my LeoFinance articles have top positions on google for this specific search phrase for both regular searches and images, and even though this search phrase might not be a popular one, I am sure that it will bring traffic over time. Organic traffic takes time though, but the potential is unlimited.

So what I have done lately is to make small changes so I can rank different variations of the search phrase. I have been ranking other, related and- or similar keywords to increase the overall chances of pulling in organic traffic from google and it looks like this:

How To Make Crypto From Blogging In 2021

Using A Different Browser


Some of you might think that this is literally the same keyword and that it wouldn't make any difference on the rankings, but if you look at the screenshot below, you will see that there are zero search results for images by changing just one simple word in the search phrase.

I talked about maximum exposure and covered search results and what you can do to easily come up with titles or content ideas for future optimized content a couple of days back, and this is literally what I have been doing lately as well. So even though I am not as visible on Hive or LeoFinance as I used to be doesn't mean that I have given up, quit or that I am inactive..

  • It's the exact opposite!

I am filled with confidence, motivation and energy to push us to new heights and I will continue my work behind the scenes to bring us a lot of organic traffic for years to come. Like I mentioned in a previous article called: How To Make Money Blogging In 2021, that article was used for ranking and promotional purposed only.

I also mentioned that it was just one out of a handful of articles coming up in the near future and that each of them are to increase rankings and organic traffic over time. I do understand that some of those articles might not be the most interesting ones for current Lions or active Hivers, but they are useful in terms of rankings, organic traffic and growth. They are important and will basically function as additional support for our foundation to build upon.

This article is just some sort of an explanation to what I have been doing and what I will do in the near future as well.. And oh, I still have 10 CUB waiting to be used... sigh.

I for one, am very grateful for what you're doing as I have been "preaching to the unfaithful" about it since 2017 on that other blockchain website.

I don't think people realize the power of long tail keywords, SEO, backlinks and such. For instance, I regularly get responses to tweets that I sent out weeks or even months ago, as they show up in search. Why? because Google indexes them...

How many here know that?

We have a tendancy to navel-gaze around here instead of looking outwards at all of that juicy free traffic just waiting to be plucked on Google, Yahoo, Bing and social media. I get what you mean by your work being unseen, but we both know the utility in what you're doing and the importance in getting the word out. Thanks for your efforts.

Exactly..
I made sure that all my posts and everything I had done on- and for Steemit vanished, and dozens of my articles still got new comments being made on a rather regular basis, even after 2 and 3 years.

I stopped using that site as soon as Justin came on board and once I found myself sitting on Hive, I made sure that they wouldn't benefit from any of my previous content.. Because I knew that much of my content was worth a lot more than the rewards I made from the upvotes and I would never give JSun any of that for free.

Organic traffic is an important ingredient for success, and I am eager to do what I can to push us towards new heights by focusing more on optimized content than ever before.

Great job @hitmeasap.

Thanks for doing this. I know there is a lot of things people are doing that go unnoticed. Yet, they are crucial to the advancement of the platform. This is something that few realize. It takes a lot of time and effort for these things to filter through.

Even those your work is unrewarded, maybe we can get this post to the top of the trending page on Leo, via upvotes.

We will leave it up to you to get it to the top of Google.

Thank you very much @taskmaster4450le, I truly appreciate it.

This post was pushed to the top of trending on LEO, but I'm not so sure I will be able to push this post to the top of Google.. I have a bunch of optimized content coming up in the near future that will benefit both Hive & LeoFinance in terms of rankings and organic traffic over time though. :)

Good job and thanks for all your effort!

I'm a true believer in the community potential of Hive (the name speaks for itself) and I'm sure we will achieve great things!

I'll do my best to help more people see this post! Keep up the great work!

Man it is fun to watch you come and go in waves of awesome momentum.

Great to see you swinging for the fences again as we drive the profile of #hive on the mainstream internet. Running a digital marketing company, I know these are all bricks in the wall. They also get harder to lay as things change if you are not on top of all the changes.

Been holding the torch for years and showing no signs of slowing down.

I think we've ignored the potential that comes from optimized content for too long, so I just had to change my own approach a little bit. Who knows, I might be completely wrong but I truly believe that organic traffic can- and will take us to new heights with time.

Congrats. Often times we overlook things happening behind the scenes, stuff that we take for granted. You're definitely doing good for this chain. Hope you'll have much more time to dedicate for what you do. I have the time but lack the knowledge...

Thanks for all the hard work you do to promote Hive/LeoFinance behind the scenes. What you are doing is very very important to educate the masses and bring in new members to Hive/LeoFinance. All hiveans would really appreciate it.

I hear you about the lack of time! This place can almost be a full time job if you let it. Between commenting and curating and all of that it can get pretty nuts! That is really interesting how you are able to work the Google search results like that. I know there is a whole science behind it that I have never really need to dig into for my work webpage.

I've got the same thing about to happen to me. Real life is about to take up most of my time again. I'm hoping to still do things everyday but instead of 16 hours to do it in I'll now have maybe 2. Good work on the above. Like you said, we can all help in different ways. For me it will be trying to onboard some of the people I come into contact with. You never know, one of them could be the next dev to bring something big to the chain. Just keep networking.

The long keywords are always easy to rank :) Nice work you spend your time.

Be careful in terms of ranking, they are always dynamic ( cookies /bookmarks and so on).

It can be for you rank 1 and for other people doesn't pop up.

Also interesting is voice search, many people use it and it has a different ranking :)

Seriously, congrats on getting those top Google rankings. As a blogger, I know how hard it is to win those top spots on Google Search and how valuable they can be for traffic to your intended article.

How about you bring traffic to FreeBitcoin? You can earn interest, bet on many sporting events as well as special events when they occur like Grammy awards and the presidential election. As well as earn free bitcoin or gamble!

Hell yeah man! People don't always see what is going on in the background. I'm working on onboarding an entire not crypto community of Real Estate investors I am a part of. They are excited about it. :-)

That sounds awesome and I think that is literally the perfect thing to do. We need to look- and see beyond crypto enthusiasts and target the average Joe's that still sit on Facebook sharing content for free.

Awesome initiative!

Any thoughts on targeting key phrases with more search volume?

I have access to an SEM Rush subscription and I ran your phrase - "How to earn crypto blogging" and it has next to no search volume unfortunately. Highly targeted but not enough volume to bring substantial traffic.

The phrase "how to generate revenue blogging about crypto" was a suggested phrase - still search volume is very low.

You mention bringing a lot of traffic, how do you measure this?

Good questions!
I don't measure the volume of traffic at this point. This is literally just me going for the low-hanging fruit as it is the easiest point to start from. I truly believe that organic traffic is a vital ingredient for success and by not optimizing content, we're basically putting all the eggs in the same basket which we've been doing for years already.

People are talking about "the masses" and we've heard people talk about that ever since the Steemit days. We have dozens of awesome people out there putting in a lot of work with tweets and whatever to spread awareness and to bring in people.. But there's still no sign of the masses.

I personally believe that organic traffic can- and will help us to achieve our goals in terms of growth. With time. Which is the sole reason for me to do what I do right now. Crypto has literally exploded and the world is talking about crypto more than ever before, and I think it's just a matter of time before the "average Joe's" will start to search for things.

When they do, I want to be "on top of things", and have Hive/LeoFinance content visible for them immediately. That is why I am going for the low-hanging fruit right now. These keywords or phrases might not be enough to bring substantial traffic at this point, but I am happy with the potential of onboarding a single active user today, with the potential of bringing in more traffic months or even years from now.

The chances of more organic traffic increase with each low-hanging fruit I pick so to speak.

Awesome! Clearly your intentions are in the right place! I would just say that with long-tail seo keyword research helps to identify some phrases that have a bit of traffic. Clearly you're going to spend the time and effort to write great content! don't skip the keyword research is all, otherwise no visitors from the content. cant get blood from a stone right.

Wow, that's a crazy good initiative. While I am quite focused on getting my article on top in searches, I don't particularly do that over here on Leo or Hive. Why? Here I tend to write for the community than the masses. Of course, the fallacy is that the masses could become community some day. Good learning.

I will ensure that my articles too find more people, not necessarily through Google but through niche profiling (like gaming, anime, etc.). :)

It is like fishing I suppose as all you need is the right bait to hook something and in this case it is keywords. Appreciate what you do as this is time consuming and goes unnoticed.

SEO is a game changer when one uses a different browser or search engine like Bing for instance. I have built my own website for my business start up but countless hours is spent with key words trying to get top results.
Thanks for sharing your experience and be well.
