If you’ve noticed my traffic upsurge, you’ll probably ask where the hell did this guy get his blog traffic, even if his blog contents are gibberish, articles are not well written (misspelled words… wrong grammar… you know), and he doesn’t even update his blog as often as other bloggers did.

Well, the answer is simply Google Trends + A little SEO.

For just one week, my unique visitors increased from 1000, to 1600, and my page views increased from 1500 to 2700. Now, that’s quite an achievement for a newbie blogger like me. Yay! Here are some “Google Analytics” graphs to prove my traffic upsurge. Heehee…

I admit, my blog traffic is not that high compared to other bloggers. I’m just happy because somehow I have readers and visitors that continues to visit and read my blog day after day even if it’s kinda boring. Hehehe. Thanks to eveyone who dropped by, and gave me some traffic.

So, how can you gain traffic from Google Trends + SEO? Here are the few easy steps to have some “International Traffic” roaming in your blog, even if you don’t update it frequently.

1. Look for a high-trend but low-dense keyword. A keyword with a graph in Google Trends is an example of a high-trend keyword. A keyword that return few results is an example of a low-dense keyword. For instance, “XPANGO”. According to Google Trends, many are searching for this keyword. “Curious” people are looking for comments and testimonials regarding Xpango, if it’s genuine or not. If you’ll check the results, there are only 395,000 pages that contain the keyword Xpango. That makes it a high-trend, low-dense keyword. Btw, my post regarding Xpango ranked first in all Google data centers, excluding the official Xpango website.

A High-trend Keyword


2. Optimize your keyword. Make sure that your post title is the keyword that you’re trying to optimize. Don’t use “A testimonial regarding Xpango”, or “My Xpango Experience”, instead use only the single word that you’re trying to optimize: “Xpango”. In that way, your post will rank higher in SERPs. If you’re curious why did I rank high even if my post title was “Is Xpango a Scam?”, the answer is simple: proper link building. To optimize a keyword, you need to create at least 10 or less back links using the anchor text that you’re trying to optimize, creating more than 10 back links will be considered as spam by Big G.(as per my experience), so don’t attempt to create such. You can create more back links after 24 hours to increase your chances in ranking higher on SERPs.

3. Proper Link Building. If you’re trying to optimize the keyword “Xpango”. Create a link (from other blogs or from social bookmarking sites) that points to your blog using that anchor text. DON’T create a link using your POST TITLE as your anchor text, IF your post title, and the keyword that you’re trying to optimize are completely different. For instance, my post title is “Is Xpango A Scam?”. I have created backlinks with the anchor text “Xpango”, that points to my blog post. Notice that I haven’t created a link that contains my post title, instead the keyword that I’m trying to optimize. In that way, the Google crawlers will read my post title as “Xpango”, not “Is Xpango A Scam”.

4. Wait for the Results. After doing the first 3 steps. Wait for the results. The only not-so-hard-part is looking for a high-trend but low-dense keyword. ^_^
