Case study explains how a company achieved 32% traffic boost
Wall Street Oasis CEO Patrick Curtis has published a case study to share how his company achieved 32% organic traffic boost from 4 on-page SEO changes.
Curtis says, “In this case study, I’ll highlight two of our main SEO problems as a large forum with over 200,000 URLs, then describe two solutions that finally helped us regain our growth trajectory — almost five years later.
Two main problems
1. Algorithm change impacts
Ever since November 2012, Google’s algo changes have seemed to hurt many online forums like ours. Even though our traffic didn’t decline, our growth dropped to the single-digit percentages. No matter what we tried, we couldn’t break through our “plateau of pain” (I call it that because it was a painful ~5 years trying).
2. Quality of user-generated content
Related to the first problem, 99% of our content is user-generated (UGC) which means the quality is mixed (to put it kindly). Like most forum-based sites, some of our members create incredible pieces of content, but a meaningful percentage of our content is also admittedly thin and/or low-quality”.
