0 to 1000 Free Targeted Website Visitors In 30 Days – A How To Tutorial

In this post I’m going to outline a step by step plan for taking any site from zero to one thousand website visitors per month in 30 days time. Or, increasing your existing web traffic by a thousand visitors per month over the next 30 days.

This isn’t about how to simply generate a thousand visitors and stop there–your web traffic will continue to grow far past that point. This tutorial will show you how to get the ball rolling and your web traffic flowing in the smartest and most simple way possible.

Furthermore, it’s not about getting 1,000 unqualified website visitors. What we all want is high quality, targeted visitors. They are the most valuable to you as a website owner.

As for my step by step instructions, anyone can do this, but few people will. How effective it will be is completely up to you….

Before I get to the first step of the strategy I want to remind you of a very important principle. All web traffic is not necessarily good web traffic. Yes, I said it, and we all know it. All website visitors are not created equally.

One thousand website visitors coming to your blog or site from your twitter profile isn’t the same as 1,000 website visitors arriving from a traffic exchange, and neither of those are the same as 1,000 people coming to your site directly from a Google search.

There are a lot of different ways to generate web traffic and no one strategy should be used in isolation at the neglect of others. Real online business owners are open to testing everything and learning for themselves which methods will give them the best return on their investment.

With that said, few will argue that web traffic from highly relevant search keywords can’t be beaten in terms of monetary return per visitor. Sure, the traffic available through other sources (such as social media, link buying, and other forms of online advertising) can provide a larger volume of traffic than a search, but I’ve yet to find anyone who will say that traffic from these sources convert more highly than targeted, search engine obtained traffic.

More importantly, when your site is just new, this type of web traffic is the most important. It allows you to test your optimization the most easily, and allows you to start seeing profit as quickly as possible.

For these reasons, traffic from search engines and other free sources will be the basis of this tutorial.

Step #1 – Research

The great thing about this method is that no matter what niche you’re in, there are always a huge number of long tail keywords that you can use to bring traffic to your site with the most basic optimization and simple techniques.

So, the first step to getting 1000 new visitors in 30 days is to do your research. Go to the Adwords Keyword Tool at the link below and get ready to begin… (warning, this might not look like your typical keyword research)

All you need to do is type in the main keyword for your niche, whatever that may be. Lets say your niche is ‘how to stop snoring.’ You’d enter “snoring”.

You’ll get a big list of keywords related to snoring. Now your goal is to pick some keywords from this list that you can create some content with that will get easily ranked in the search engines. Here’s how to do it.

You want to pick some words that have between 500 and 5,000 searches per month.

Do the search, then click on the link at the top called “advertiser competition” twice, so it sorts the list with the less competitive keywords at the top. Next, scroll down the far right column to see which of the most lowly competitive keywords have strangely high levels of search volume compared to the competition.

When you locate some keywords that seem to have more search volume than the others at the same level of competition, take note. These are the keywords worthy of further investigation.

All you are trying to accomplish by doing this is to find about thirty such words. Thirty words that have between 500 and 5,000 searches per month in the “average search volume” tab and that seem to have low relative competition.

If you’re not finding any good keywords under a search for the main keyword (snoring), you can choose one of the keywords from the first list, and run a separate search just for it, like “stop snoring” for example. Go back and type that into the tool, click the “advertiser competition” button again, and see what you find there.

Finally, if you’re still not getting the keywords you want with that, you can try this:

Go to google.com and type in your main keyword, say it’s “stop snoring”. (don’t use quotes when you type it in Google this first time).

Whatever URL appears first, copy it down and go back to your Adwords keyword tool. Now, scroll back to the top of the search section and on the left select “website content” rather than “descriptive words or phrases.” Enter the URL you just copied.

Now you can get new keyword ideas based on the keywords that this site, which you know is ranking well and getting targeted traffic, is using.

A list of keywords will appear where you can take the same steps as you did the first time–sort by competition, then try to find highly searched keywords that are low in competition

Once you’ve got a list of 30, you are ready to perform the second part of your research, which is to analyze the search competition.

Step #2 – Analyzing Search Competition

If you think I’m about to say “type the phrases in Google in quotes and see how many search results appear” you are wrong.

While the typical way of analyzing the “competition” of a particular keyword is by looking at the number of competing pages, anyone who’s actually done SEO will tell you that the number of competing pages doesn’t really tell you how hard or easy it’s going to be to rank for a particular term.

Keywords often have a small number of competing pages that are highly optimized, and are on authority domains that you aren’t going to beat.

Other keyword terms have huge numbers of pages that are optimizing poorly and that you will be able to topple with just a couple of links.

Step #3 – How do you REALLY analyze the competition?

The answer is, you can’t truly know how hard or easy it will be to rank for a particular keyword term until you’ve done it. But that doesn’t mean you personally have to try it yourself…

Check out this…

Originally, when I did a URL search for that stop snoring keyword, the top keyword phrase was “ways to stop snoring.”

So I went to Google and did a search for this term without using the quotations. Here’s the results:

What I found was that ranked in position number three, there was an article published at Ezinearticles.com.

I was a happy camper. Why?

Because I too can publish articles at Ezinearticles.com, and assuming this dude hasn’t built any links to his article page at Ezine (which is rare) if I out optimize him, I’ll soon take his ranking in that third place position. The only thing working against me on this particular example is the age of this guy’s article, which was a few years – the newer the article the better it is for you to beat him out of his spot.

Furthermore, I can also use this method to see how much traffic this ranking has gotten for the article.

Ultimately, my results have indicated (because of the Ezine article in third place) that this keyword is uncompetitive. If an article at Ezinearticles.com can rank highly with no links, then when I have a piece of content on my blog or website based on this term that I build some great links to, I’ll surely get a front page ranking as well. Ahhh, the power of deductive reasoning skills.

Now keep in mind that this isn’t a perfect indication of competitiveness, and like anything, it can still be somewhat inaccurate–but one thing for sure is that targeting keywords that show low levels of competition based on this analysis is far more likely to bring you rankings and targeted traffic than keywords found based on the “number of pages” analysis.

Getting back to our step-by-step tutorial. What do we actually do with this knowledge?

Well, if you’re looking for a down and dirty increase to your traffic within a short period of time, these keywords can be very valuable.

Search each of your original 30 keywords in Google and keep your eyes peeled for:

1. Articles from Ezinearticles.com in the top 5-10 search rankings.
2. Squidoo lenses in the search rankings
3. Listings from any similar social sites like hubpages, wiki, wordpress.com, blogspot.com, etc.

Now, you’re going to find these kinds of pages appearing more often depending on how popular your product is to affiliates. These listings will be more common among hot clickbank niches for example thanks to all the “bum marketers” out there.

But if you have a more obscure niche, don’t worry, you can still…

Go for the old “competing pages” analysis, but with some additional twists to your analysis.

Do a search for the keywords in quotations, so “stop snoring”.

Try to get keywords with under 10,000 competing pages in Google, the lower the better. When you find the terms with under 10k competing pages, also check the front page for:

- Lots of sites that don’t have the keyword in the url.
- Not many sites on pages from major sites like wikipedia, amazon, about.com, etc.

If you go with these analysis, you’ll still come out with keywords that will get you to the 1000 new visitors in 30 days.

So by the end of this step you should have 30 keywords that fit the criteria we’ve talked about. If you’ve got that, you’re ready to rock this and pull those 1,000 visitors in 30 days, no problem.

You should be able to knock this part of the plan out in one day, two days maximum.

How do you like that for stacking the odds in your favor!
