Neil Patel’s company, ACS Consulting claims he doubled TechCrunch’s traffic through search engine optimization. Jennifer Jones interviewed Neil for her Marketing Voices show.

    its doubled 'search traffic', not overall traffic
  • What do you think accounts for the bulk part of their traffic?
  • I thought this was going to be exciting: all that was done was dropping the blog name out of the description for each post, real simple stuff.

    here is an archive of their stats for the past year

    judge for yourself

    BTW:

    The past two months do not count so do not factor them into your analysis


    Here are the results for other Top 100 Technorati blogs to compare with

    but its still search traffic, not direct (I bet most search traffic doesn't stick, either)

    Robert made it sounds like there is some magic way to double-boost traffic, when the guy on the podcast says something else..
  • Just to clarify, I doubled his search traffic and not his general traffic.
  • Duncan, there was a lot more stuff done to the blog then just messing with meta tags. I did not go through everything in the interview due to time.
  • Yeah. This had nothing really new or interesting in it. It's basic SEO 101 stuff - hardly 'Secret' techniques. I think we can learn more from this post. Got all of us here, despite having nothing really original. ;).
  • Amazing, i really like your post.
