I launched my blog in 2021. Initially, organic web traffic remained consistently low—always zero—for over six months. Then, slowly, I got my first visitor, followed by two, three, and now the average number of visits is around 2500 per day. The highest number of visits in a single day was over 300. My hard work finally pays off!
Unlike my previous commercial websites, when I set up my own blog, I wanted to try something different: relying solely on organic web traffic without any paid tools. This method was quite painful at first; it was easy to feel discouraged and even consider giving up. It really takes time and patience to gradually see results. However, once you have organic web traffic, everything else falls into place. In short, it’s a case of hard work before reward; a solid foundation makes for a stable and reliable building.
I remember using G’s tool over a decade ago. Initially, the cost was two or three hundred dollars per month, which was within an acceptable range. However, it kept increasing every year until it reached four figures, at which point I realized I was “too addicted.” After weighing the pros and cons, I finally chose to “quit” and return to the right path of building organic traffic. I have to admit the “cold turkey” treatment is unbearable, to give up immediate click gratification, but I am really glad to make that decision.
Of course, I’m not encouraging everyone to avoid using paid online tools; good tools are still worth the money. It’s just that gaining online traffic is like fighting a war, not a battle. And if you don’t have enough “juice” in your own wallet, the safest strategy is to go “organic”. Organic web traffic is healthy and sustainable in the long term.
