Are we talking about 1,000 uniques per day or total?
Steps to First 1000
This post is in continuation to my post traffic goals for this blog. My goal is to generate 1000 unique visitors to my blog by end of Sep 2009.
Today I want to talk about 2 strategies I will be using to start with to achieve the goal.
- SEO
- Yahoo Answers
SEO Strategy:
I have identified a keyword in make money niche that I will be targeting to rank my blog for. This keyword is very competitive and has intial search competition of 114000 in google. Also based on google keyword research tool the search volume for this keyword with exact match is 8000.
This looks like a good keyword to target for my blogs search engine rankings. If I can rank in top 10 of google for this keyword I should be able to reach very close to my traffic goal if not pass it.
Yahoo Answers:
I plan to use Yahoo Answers for 2 reasons: quality back links and at the same time targetted traffic. Yahoo Answers is one place where people ask questions for specific problems they have. I plan to contribute to this community with quality to the point answers.
The answers when to the point and helpful can generate some targetted traffic to your site. To start with you are allowed to answer max 20 questions in a day. You acquire points as you answer questions. When you reach a certain level by acquiring points you are allowed to answer unlimited questions.
Summary:
- Target a keyword for SEO
- Yahoo Answers for targetted traffic
I don’t want to reveal the keyword I will be targeting as it can give away my main keyword and also create unnecessary competition for my promotions.
That’s it for now. I will make another detailed post on SEO and Yahoo Answers.

Mikael, I am talking about total 1000.
Don’t forget about developing your reputation as a subject matter expert too - authority blogs will ALWAYS receive traffic over everyone else.

Yahoo answer is one of the best way to get the backlink but be careful on your comment and the way you want to put your link. If other user report out as abuse, yahoo will terminate your account.

Hi Ravi,
So how are you getting on in your goal to achieve 1000 uniques. Do you think you will achieve it by month end? Hope you make it, but even if you don’t I’m sure it will come soon. Compared to many others who don’t take action, you seem like someone who waste no time in getting things done.

@Peter, thanks for the comments. I only made it half way to my target in Sep. But the SEO effort is paying off slowly. Need to do it for some more time before reaping the benefits

I think your tips are very poorly. They will never bring 1000 unique visitors / day to your blog.

Toan, sorry to hear you feel they are so poorly. I never claimed to get 1000 visitors per day. My initial goal was 1000 visitors in a month. I will try to add more value to the blog so it is not poorly
Thanks for the honest opinion…
Create great content and post it on your website. When you have great content on your website, you entice other webmasters to share your content on their sites by providing a link back to you
