    I have an article that gets a lot of hits, way more than any other I have. Is there a way I can figure out why?

    For example, Is there a tool to help me find out where people are finding it?

    Or another important factors I should look at?

    Thank you in advance

            Here are a few steps and tools you can use to analyze its performance:

            Analytics Tools: Use tools like Google Analytics to track traffic sources. By examining the referral paths, you can identify which websites, social media platforms, or search engines are driving traffic to your article.

            Search Console: Google Search Console provides data on search queries and landing pages. Check the Performance report to see which keywords are bringing users to your article and its click-through rate.

            Social Media Insights: If your article has been shared on social media, use platform-specific analytics (like Facebook Insights or Twitter Analytics) to understand how social engagement might be contributing to its success.

            Backlink Analysis: Tools such as Ahrefs or SEMrush can help you identify backlinks to your article. High-quality backlinks can significantly boost an article’s visibility and traffic.

            Content Metrics: Examine factors like the article’s headline, structure, and content quality. Tools like BuzzSumo can help you see how your content compares with others and identify what aspects are most engaging.

            User Behavior: Tools like Hotjar or Crazy Egg can provide insights into how users interact with your article, such as which sections they read most and where they drop off.

            These tools and analyzing the data, you can uncover the factors contributing to your article.

              Google Search Console: Use this to see how your article ranks in search results and which specific queries are bringing traffic to it.

                  It's awesome that your article is getting so much attention! To figure out why, you could use analytics tools to see where your traffic is coming from and what keywords are driving it. This method works well, just like how understanding user engagement can help optimize performance on any platform.

                    @laurentjb There are a variety of methods and tools you can use to determine why your article receives significantly more traffic than others:

                    • Identify Traffic Sources:

                    Google Analytics: This tool is crucial for understanding where your visitors are coming from. Check the "Acquisition" section to identify whether the traffic is originating from social media, search engines, or other websites.

                    • Analyze Search Queries:

                    Google Search Console: Use this tool to see which search terms are leading users to your article. The "Performance" report will show you which keywords are generating the most clicks and impressions.

                    • Review Social Media Metrics:

                    Social Media Analytics: Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn have their own analytics that can help you determine if a lot of traffic is coming from these channels.

                    • Examine Backlinks:

                    Backlink Analysis Tools: Utilize tools such as Ahrefs, SEMrush, or Moz to find out if other sites are linking to your article, which might explain the increased traffic.

                    • Evaluate Engagement Metrics:

                    Content Performance Metrics: Look at data like time spent on the page, bounce rate, and social shares. High engagement often means your content is appealing to readers.

                    • Consider Current Trends:

                    Reflect on whether your article addresses a trending topic or recent news. Content related to current events or popular subjects often garners more attention.

                    These insights can help you better understand why your article was successful, and you can apply them to other articles.

                      @laurentjb You can check by using MOZ Keyword Keyword Explorer

                      1. Open keyword explorer & enter domain URL
                      2. I use https://jinxmangaonline.com/ as an example. Put it in Adrress box & select root domain
                      3. It will show the ranking keywords, along with DA & PA

                      I hope this helps.

                                        Backlinks from local businesses

                                        backlinks backlink profile blog post backlinks

                                        Hello, I need to make sure I understand this correctly. Will it help my SEO if I: find local businesses with a good DA & low spam score select businesses that are somehow related to mine (Insurance Agency) offer to guest post and include a backlink on their blog ( ask them if they'd like to reciprocate) For example, businesses such as
                                        Roofing companies
                                        Contractors
                                        moving companies
                                        etc Please let me know if there's anything I'm missing? Many thanks

                                        seo link building blog post outreach blog post backlinks

                                        We do our SEO in-house, and I don't have the time for blogger outreach. Does anyone know of a reputable place where I can submit our content to be pitched to relevant outlets for backlinks and US traffic? I am not in it for someone creating our content; I write it myself and have a degree in the content I produce. I am looking for a place that gets REAL US traffic, not some P.B.N. sites or those where I can create accounts at a post myself. I want real traffic from relevant, reputable blogs or a place where I can have them use my content and find niche sites for me.

                                        Best practices for retiring 100s of blog posts?

                                        redirects blog post backlinks blog post 404s

                                        Hi. I wanted to get best practices for retiring an enterprise blog with hundreds of old posts with subject matter that won't be repurposed. What would be the best course of action to retire and maintain the value of any SEO authority from those old blog pages? Is it enough to move those old posts into an archive subdirectory and Google would deprioritize those posts over time? Or would a mass redirect of old blog posts to the new blog's home page be allowed (even though the old blog post content isn't being specifically replaced)? Or would Google basically say that if there aren't 1:1 replacement URLs, that would be seen as soft-404s and treated like a 404?

                                        Blog post outreach for backlinks

                                        blog post outreach blog post backlinks guest blog posting in context link building content marketing

                                        Hi all, My understanding of obtaining backlinks by way of blogpost outreach is that it's best to include several outbound links to related high domain websites within blog post copy (as well as a link to the website you're marketing, obviously) such as this post https://www.scoopearth.com/why-should-you-use-royalty-free-music-for-youtube-videos/ or this one https://small-bizsense.com/how-to-create-quality-content-for-your-business/. However, I've recently read a few articles that suggest that from a human perspective only having one clear link in the copy, such as this post https://www.clichemag.com/entertainment/movies/the-benefits-of-royalty-free-cinematic-music-for-your-videos/, increases the chance of the reader visiting the site in question. I guess the thinking is that if there's only one link to be clicked on it increases the chances of click-thru, as opposed to the reader possibly clicking on another external link that's only there because of current SEO advice. So is it best to follow SEO guidelines and include several outbound links within guest blog posts, or is it better to only have the one link to your client's site (to focus the readers attention on it)?

                                        Locating Guest Blogging Niches

                                        Hey Folks, Does anybody have advice on tools I could use to locate blogs on specific topics? My plan is to approach the webmasters and offer guest blogging services. I know I could just do a google search for something like "KEYWORD blogs" but I thought I'd see if there is anything more sophisticated out there. Thanks, Rich

                                        Blog Sub-Domaine on Other Server, Is This Possible???

                                        My eCommerce cart is BigCommerce. It is not possible to use my domain name to add a blog on there server. I would like to create a blog on a sub-domain, something like: http://www.furnacefilterscanada.com/blog/ Is it possible to host this sub-domain on another server? Host this sub-domiane to BlueHost for example and keep my domaine to BigCommerce. If YES, I would like to buy a Word Press theme and start a blog on this sub-domain: http://www.furnacefilterscanada.com/blog/ Thank you, BIgBlaze

                                        Should I publish several blog posts at once or stagger?

                                        I have several blog posts that I want to publish (40 or so). For freshness is it better to stagger their publication over several months or is it fine to publish them all at the same time. The comments are closed.

                                        Sourcing content and images for Office Interior Design Blog

                                        Im currently building a blog on Wordpress, and I will be blogging about Office Interior Designs. When I look at my competition they have some great blog posts about office interior designs and I have no idea about how they get: a) The ideas to blog about, how do they find out about these office interior designs b) how they get the content for them, how do they know what to write about each one, do they need permission etc, c) if i am interested in doing a blog on the same office interior design as them, how can I get information )and permission from the company that done the office interior design) on the office interior design so i can blog about it and also how do i get the images and stuff. an example is http://www.officedesignblog.com/invensys-rail-office-concept/726/ I would like to cover this aswell, as i think my future readers would like to know about this. how did they get the images, and the information about the project so they could write a blog post about it? And how would I go about doing the same thing?
