WA Bootcamp Success! - 1.5K Visitors In One Day!
Hey guys and gals, I hope you're doing great!
Just wanted to share another proof that both courses here at WA work if you work hard and follow the instructions.
I started my WA Bootcamp site about 2 years ago and had my ups and downs along the way.
I'm not going to bother you with drama and all the stuff that has happened in those two years.
However, I want to motivate you and let you know that all the hard work that you're putting into your website today is going to pay off eventually.
Just a few weeks ago, I reached the all-time high in a number of unique clicks to my Bootcamp site in one day.
As you can see, 1,529 people visited my site in just one single day!
Not only that, but my traffic is increasing slowly but safely week by week, month by month, which means that everything you've been or will be taught here is working.
The thing is, SEO and organic search traffic is slow and takes time.
In other words, there's a gap between the time you start writing your blog posts and the time your posts reach the top of the SERP.
However, if you keep working on it every single day, your posts will get there and once they do, they will start sending free traffic to your site on autopilot!
Meaning, all the work that you do during your first 2-3 months will bring results in the next 2-3 months and so on.
And as you keep compounding posts on your blog, more and more streams of traffic will join together and soon enough, you will have a river of visitors flowing to your site day in and day out.
I found a perfect analogy in one of Kyle's posts where he compares traffic from search engines to a mountain, stream, and river.
Website Traffic is Like a Mountain, Stream and River
If you are just getting started and want to get a better picture of how free search engine traffic works, I highly suggest reading this post!
It's short but powerful, and so true!
Also, if you're blogging for about 6 to 12 months already, I would highly suggest updating your old blog posts to improve your SEO and thus, get more traffic.
I wrote this post earlier where I share my strategy for updating old blog posts.
Update Your Old Content For Better SEO - Get More Traffic!
This is something that I do every single day and ever since I started doing it, my website traffic is increasing exponentially.
And don't forget...
It takes time and effort but the stuff you learn here really works!
That's it for today, guys and gals.
Best of luck with your own websites and happy blogging!
Your friend,
Ivan :)
PS: If you're just getting started with WA and are on the fence about Premium training, don't hesitate and just go for it! Follow the instructions and don't give up until you reach your goals!

Good morning Ivan,
I hope you are doing well and business is good.
Thank you for another extremely inspiring and positive blog post. I am sure that your blog post will encourage many. I have just been reading Dylan's post, which kind of echoes your words in a slightly different way. I will put the link below. This Simple Downsizing Website Makes $25,000 Per Month I have seen the benefits of regular posting on several of my sites, and I agree it really does make a difference. I even have posts which are several years old and still being read today, regularly.
I must admit I haven't tried updating any dates yet, but it's something that I need to look into.
I'm going to take a look at Kyle's post in the second.
Have a great weekend, and thank you for all your inspiring blog posts.
Roy
Hey, Roy, thanks for reaching out. All good in the hood :D I hope things are going well over there as well.
I've read Dylan's post and couldn't agree more with it. It's just another proof that this affiliate blogging thing works. But it takes a lot of time, effort and patience.
Yeah, you can change dates on the post. Once you do so, the post is shown as fresh content on your blog roll and improves your freshness signals.
Have a great weekend yourself!
Ivan
Thank you for your reply, Ivan, it's appreciated. I'm glad everything is well with you. I think it's great that you have been able to move back to your home country, due to your achievements at Wealthy Affiliate, that's great news!
I have seen some photographs of Croatia, and it looks fantastic. My wife comes from northern Greece, so we are very privileged to go there from time to time. I have to say that I would like to spend a lot more time there. I have an off-line business, and I'm trying to spend as much time on my online business so that we can eventually spend more time in Greece. The Internet really has opened up tremendous opportunities.
I will look into this date changing process. Out of interest, how old are your blog posts when you update them? Do you update them to today's date or do you do, for example, update them precisely 12 months from the date you published the blog post?
Have a great day.
Roy
Hey, Roy, thanks! I'm really happy I found WA a few years ago and managed to move back to Croatia. It's a great place to live and wouldn't trade it for any other country in the world!
Hope you and your wife will achieve all your goals too and I hope to see you somewhere on our coast soon! Greece is awesome too and I'm looking forward to going there as soon as possible. That's the best thing about this internet thing, you can live and work wherever you want and still make a good living!
Feel free to reach out if you guys need a Croatian tour guide :)
There are no rules when it comes to updating. I regularly update posts that are a year old and those that are month old if I see that I can add more useful info.
I don't change the date of the post if it is only a few months old. I change it only on posts that are at least 5-6 months old or more. And if I change the date, I change it to today's date (the day of the update).
Hope this helps!
Good morning again Ivan,
Thank you very much for responding to my question, you have answered it well! To be fair I don't think I have ever changed a blog post date. It's something that my Webmaster in the States and myself have talked about, but is never actually happened! I need to take some time to go through some older blog posts.
I think all of us can never forget our home country. I'm told that Ireland is very green and pleasant land. However, having those blue seas on the Croatian coast is quite something I guess, probably similar to Greece. I was just looking on the map at Croatia's position, in my mind, I was thinking that you are slightly nearer Greece. My geography is not brilliant, I often have to refer to Google maps!
I would really like to have the time to visit more places in the world. This is another reason for having an online business as you rightly mentioned. That would be great fun to have a fellow Wealthy Affiliate member be our tour guide. Thank you very much for the offer, this is definitely worth thinking about!
Incidentally, Ivan, I have been reading your blog posts over the last few months. It's great to see that you are making a success of your online business. I'm sure it will encourage many people to move forward. It's always good to see success stories and it's great to see success continually coming out of Wealthy Affiliate.
Once again, Ivan, I appreciate your help.
Roy
Sure thing, Roy :) I'm happy to help in any way I can.
Yeah, Ireland is awesome. It's one of the best countries I've ever visited. However, there's no place like home.
You're right, Croatia is very close to Greece and we do share a lot of culture and geography, especially when it comes to the coastal parts. It's practically the same region.
In any case, feel free to reach out if your path ever takes you to any parts of Croatia :)
Have a great day!
Thank you, Ivan, that is really appreciated.
It's amazing how many beautiful places there are in the world. I'm privileged to live in a village in East Anglia, it's a very unspoiled area covered in cornfields and more!
I think probably the Mediterranean has some of the best weather in the world, not too hot and not particularly cold in the winter. I am now comparing to the English weather!
I appreciate your offer, it could happen!
All the best.
Roy
Awesome Ivan, thank you.
I am updating my posts as we speak. I have only hit the six-month mark but I thought it was the right time because it's the beginning of a new calendar year.
I also have some posts that are not ranking well so I am employing this strategy to make it happen.
Have a blessed day Ivan.
Candy Benn

Hey, Abdul. You're welcome. Keep moving forward at your own pace and there's no other option but success. Those who win never quit and those who quit never win. It's that simple.
