My Blog Search Traffic Jumped When I Started Taking SEO Seriously

Maybe you should consider it

On April 28th, 2022, I decided it was time for me to stop treating my blog as a passion side gig (which it still is), and start thinking like a business. I had been dabbling in SEO tactics for the last year with no real plan or tool to help me.

Oh, and SEO means Search Engine Optimization by the way. It’s super important to get your content out and seen by lots of people!

I spent several weeks going back to optimize over 100 old blog posts using RankMath (Yes, I bought the pro version and I’m still waiting to be approved as an affiliate!). I only optimized most of them to the Fair and not Good rating, so I want to continue improving them.

So what’s happening now? This view below is the weekly traffic to my blog. As you can see, it’s growing.

I’d say the SEO tweaks are starting to pay off. My search traffic tripled from May to June and essentially increased 8X since April. We’re only a bit into July and I haven’t posted as much new content, but I’m going to continue improving the SEO.
