Where Will We Be In A Year?

I have published a bunch of reports for the keywords that bringss the most organic traffic to LeoFinance, with the latest one published earlier today and I figured I would talk about some of the results we've seen so far, and what we could potentially look forward to in another year.

2021-06-30, was the date when I published the first report. LeoFinance had a total of 378 different keywords pulling in traffic to the website from Google at the time.

At today's date, 2021-12-07, you can see in the latest report that we have more than 2800 keywords driving traffic to LeoFinance from Google. That's a pretty sweet climb in terms of rankings. Roughly 2500 keywords have been ranked and are pushing traffic to the website in approximately 6 months.

While you could easily just imagine another 2500 keywords in 6 months and another set of 2500 keywords 6 months after that, I wouldn't count on it. Things aren't as easy as it may sound, but we have outstanding content creators that have been doing an insanely good job for months. That's the reason for this huge success we have. It all comes down to optimized content.


Learn How To Optimize Your Posts:


That being said though, there is a limited amount of words in existence and each word has a different KD (Keyword difficulty), so you can't expect to see amazing results each time. It would also be impossible to rank content for each word that exists. We want to focus on some of the keywords, so we can bring traffic towards LeoFinance, Hive and other communities for years to come.

Long-tail keywords makes things easier. They are easier to rank. Easy to rank also means less search volume, hence less traffic, but it's a superb start.



Take my How To Earn Crypto From Blogging In 2021 post for instance. I'm sitting rather comfortably at the top of Google for that specific search phrase. Even if you search for images, you'll find my article at the top. It's a long-tail keyword with low competition which makes it easier to rank. It's "low-hanging fruit" and it does not generate a lot of traffic, but it generates some traffic, which is more than we would've gotten without that content.



We want to rank as many keywords as possible, but we can forget about trying to rank an article about bitcoin for instance, if we are trying to rank the article for the keyword "bitcoin". A good long-tail keyword would do the trick in that case though, if you can figure out a good one.


Compare these two screenshots from Semrush.


We went from ~50 organic searches to a whooping 1000+ in roughly 6 months and the reason for the almost magical jump is optimized content, time and effort. It takes time to rank content. Authors have pushed themselves to optimize their content and they have done that for a purpose. Rankings.

  • This is a huge victory, but we're not there yet…!

During this period of 6 months, since my first report, we've had 128,568 page views from Google, 22,646 page views from Twitter, 5,627 page views from Reddit and 3,082 page views from duckduckgo.com.

Social media is great to drive traffic but we've had 1,954 page views from Facebook and only 328 page views from YouTube in that same time frame so it's easy to see that most of the traffic comes from search engines and that organic traffic means more than anything.

Sure, I admit that people probably doesn't promote LeoFinance on Facebook & YouTube as much as on these other places.. But still. It's a significant difference!

Like I have said multiple times in the past:

Twitter is not the solution you’re looking for in terms of mass adoption. You need search engines, because you need the organic traffic. People want to find information for themselves instead of having things forced down their throats.

I think the statistics speaks for itself. Organic traffic is what leads to mass adoption. Twitter and other social media is just extra tools we can benefit from while we are moving forward. Use social media like Twitter to help your content to rank by sharing and liking things. Each like, retweet and share holds some weight and each of them are important.


With the same progress we've seen so far, I bet we will at least have tripled the amount of traffic to LeoFinance by the end of 2022. Imagine when we see Project Blank and all the other cool things that are in the pipeline..

  • To The Moon!
