How to accelerate traffic and rankings with fresh content.

The most overlooked, but powerful, on-page SEO strategy is adding more unique, fresh content to your site. If you consistently add new pages to your site, you are going to receive more traffic. In fact, not only can you increase your traffic, you can receive an exponential traffic increase as you publish more content.

Traffic and ranking

It’s a no-brainer when you think about it. This is why blogs, publishing and news-type sites consistently get good results in search engines. More content means more rankings, more visitors, and more sales. Let’s look at getting started with improving your traffic by adding fresh content.

Good quality writers can be sourced between $25-$75 USD per article and you can regularly churn out fresh content to your heart’s content. Popular services can put you in touch with talented writers, such as Textbroker or the Problogger job board. Textbroke
