Google Analytics And I Track Progress

I made it to the 3rd spot on Google. At least that's what it's showing. And it happened pretty recently when Jay showed me something that I had been missing for two years. And that was a site that shows you what leading organic traffic was coming from top keywords.

So, I went back through the keywords and phrases and found all of the articles associated with these keywords and did some editing. Since the site in question was a WA promotion website I added a call to action on these articles and did a little more editing since some of these articles were over a year old. And since I did that which took under two hours my Google Analytics has gone from around 10 page views a day to around a hundred with the sessions increasing as well.

Does all of this really work? I know it can if your understand what you are doing and don't just write with no real purpose. Some of the things you can do is go back over your older articles and re-edit them to make sure they are written well and have a call to action on them. Otherwise your readers may just say, "Ok, nice article" and move on. You have to capture their interest in the first paragraph. This graph is what happened in just a few days by doing a few edits on some high ranking keyword articles and putting a call to action at the end.

And here is what the Google Analytics numbers for the week looked like.


So, you can see that some of the little changes you do in your writing as well as using a call to action can change things in a short period of time. I am nowhere near where some people are but maybe for some of the newer members this could be encouraging. I may not even be as far as some newer members but I had a huge learning curve coming into this and to date it's still challenging, But, if you forge ahead and really try and learn even if it's slow and steady, you will start to see the light.

I am seeing some increase in numbers right now, after joining with SWAG and Go Getters. Lots of editing, better CTA's.

Hi there
Many thanks for this important info and it goes to show what can be achieved with a little homework and back tracking
Some of my posts are almost 12 months old at this stage and I can clearly see that what I am currently writing today is superior to what I wrote earlier on when starting out on this adventure.
It only takes a few minutes to go over the posts and re-edit them and dress them up a little with subheadings and new images here and there
Thanks for the great tutorial
Cheers PB

That's awesome. I've been going back over my old posts too and editing them. It's hard to read some of them if you know what I mean. So many have no CTA which as you said is so important.

True Erica. It's kind of a delicate dance I guess. But if you change some stuff up you start to see results. They may be small but the training goes over a lot of the stuff.

Bob, sounds like we will be Tweeting, once we're up!
Can't wait!

Hi Dave, wow, what a boost to your confidence, eh! You may not be where some members are in terms of traffic, and I'm nowhere near you. My traffic is just miserable. But I'm learning. Just yesterday one post went from nowhere to position 9!

By the way are you referring to jay's training on keyword? I must have missed that.

P.S. Hopefully you can see the graphs. I know, they are small.
