How To Get 1 Million Organic Visits Per Month To Your Website?

Well, getting 1M organic visits to your website per month is not an easy task and you don’t get that from the very next day of actually launching your website. But, you must’ve already known that as you wouldn’t have opened this article if you didn’t.

You would have been wasting your time trying out useless tricks, SEO hacks, and promotions to get to that goal but all in vain. Sounding oddly familiar to the things you already did before reaching here, isn’t it?

The thing is, you are not the only one who has been there. I have been there while starting out, all new bloggers and website developers have been there while starting out and people will continue to have their first encounter with misinformation or information overload while starting out. So, it is nothing to worry about.

What I am actually going to do here in this article is to share an essential roadmap that can help you to reach your goal of getting 1 million visitors to your website “organically” per month. The focus on organic methods because organic doesn’t require you to spend money on and is generally more effective.

However, it requires significant time and effort to reach your goals organically and you need to be extremely focused in order to do the same. Your website can be a blog, an information portal, an eCommerce store or anything else but the process of organic outreach is usually the same regardless of your website’s purpose.

I have been in the website business and digital marketing domain for over a decade now and have grown multiple websites to 500k+ and 1M+ views per month organically, both mine as well as clients’. Therefore, I would be the ideal person to guide you through an essential methodology that is foolproof and highly effective in getting your websites to 1M views per month.

THINK OUT OF THE BOX

Let us have a clear visualization of our objectives and bust a few myths before we actually begin with the process. Though I agree that the most important objective is to gain 1M website traffic per month, in order to reach there, you need to first build a series of gateways that will help you to gradually reach that goal.

These small objectives include but are not limited to organically increasing the awareness of your website; creating a great content strategy; keyword research, evaluation, and implementation; performing Search Engine Optimization techniques to get better SERPs; brand building; creating thought leadership; utilizing the wave of change; implementation and utilization of analytics tools; social promotional utilities and techniques; etc.

Let’s get some things clear at first. As I have earlier said, it is not an easy or magical task to get your website 1M hits per month. You either need to spend significantly on promotional mediums and search engine marketing or you can reach there completely organically. Well, the first one won’t be much beneficial either if you don’t have your website in place with quality and informative content that the readers/ visitors can actually share or products that they are interested in investing in.

Any website needs certain key configurations before it can actually make it big out there. Here, I will teach you the tricks and tips that can configure your website in an ideal way and create a foolproof process to reach success.

HOW TO START?

It is evident that in order to get 1M plus views to your website, you need to first actually have one. I know, it was not a trick fact or something of that sort. The thing is, your configuration to an actual website begins way before its launch and if done right, can be a winning recipe for major traffic. The ideal approach starts with getting a good domain name for your website.

Now, a lot of tricks and objectives are dependent on your domain name. Choose a name that is tacky but memorable, is not too long to type, can be easily memorized and has a relationship, indicatory or symbolic, to the matter of your website or its nature. What I mean by the last point is that it cannot be just a great word with good sound and short to remember. It has to be related to the content or the domain that you will be basing your website on so that it strikes a chord with your readers and helps them to remember it better.

Next is the hosting service where you will be hosting your website after its launch. If you plan to make it big in getting great traffic to your site, you need to get a hosting service that allows significant traffic to enter your website without letting it go caput! Therefore, it is advisable that you opt for a hosting plan that is scalable, i.e., you would be able to scale your hosting space up or down as per your needs. This will allow you to be flexible with the plan.

HOW TO BRING IN THE ACTUAL TRAFFIC?
