If you’re an online publisher, Google should be driving over 50% of your traffic
It’s a love hate relationship with Google. On one hand, you need Google to like your website to drive traffic. On the other hand, it seems no matter how hard you try your website is not moving to page one. What’s an online publisher to do?
The number one challenge we see is impatience. Google, like any healthy relationship, takes time to develop and nurture.
The Mequoda Group has coached dozens of publishers using the Mequoda Method. It requires 12-18 months to get everything in place and to begin to see results. However, once established, even small tweaks can make an impact in a short period of time.
As an example, Mequoda Daily added ten keyword-rich posts per week beginning in last August. After just two weeks, there was a 30% increase in email subscriber sign-ups and all ten keywords we targeted moved up significantly on Google.
