I wrote this case study to show that one website can dominate Google if the proper SEO methods are used. At no time did we ever build unnatural backlinks, use any black hat techniques or any other methods that are against the TOS of Google. The site did take years to dominate its niche on Google, but if you are a legit company, then you understand that SEO is long-term strategy. SEO is not a sprint, it’s a marathon and the quicker you learn there is no way around that, the quicker you will be successful at your online marketing.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Case Study:
HowToGetRidOfStuff.com is a website that provides useful content that is in demand. It includes titles like how to get rid of acne, how to get rid of atherosclerosis, how to get rid of Japanese beetles,etc. “How To” searches have increased tremendously over the years as more people look to the Internet for information on their daily activities.
The only way a site like this can be successful is by dominating the search engines. The goal is to drive organic traffic from the search engines and then make money on advertising revenue.
The main goal for the site is to dominate the search engines in the “How To Get Rid Of” searches. The website has over 800 keywords that rank #1 on Google. There are 1,300+ total articles on the site and over 1,220 appear on page 1 Google, which means over 93% of the articles appear on page 1 Google.
First page Google is very important because over 90% of clicks are performed on the first page, meaning that less than 10% of people go to page 2 Google. Plus, out of the 90% of clicks on page 1 Google, 80% are from the organic results, not the paid results.
To be successful at building a site like this, it all starts and ends with SEO. The website has to be optimized for on-site SEO. Then the content needs to be 100% unique and highly optimized for the keywords each article should rank for on the search engines.
After the website is optimized and the content is uploaded, it’s time to start building the domain strength of the site. This is accomplished by building backlinks and spreading the content around the Internet. As the search engines crawl the site, index the unique content and see its “popularity” via backlinks, that is when the search engine rankings will increase. At no time did we ever build our own backlinks. Backlink building services are very common, but are not needed if you have good content that other websites want to link to.
Search engines are now indexing social media content, so it is very important to spread content via these advertising channels. The information below will go into detail on the statistics of the site.
Unique Visitors from March 13, 2008 to December 31, 2010:
The site was averaging 10,000 unique visitors per month in March, 2008. In March, 2012, after 4 years of organic SEO marketing, the website averaged about 1.4 million unique visitors per month.
Traffic Sources:
The important thing to understand about this site is over 92% of the traffic comes from organic search engine rankings. There is no paid advertising, so it heavily relies on search engines. This means, you have to be very careful when you perform any on-site or off-site SEO strategies.
On-site SEO can change the way search engines rank a website and can easily move rankings on or off the first page over night. You have to be careful about any site-wide on-site SEO changes to make sure there are no major changes in a websites ranking.
Off-site SEO has similar problems. You do not want to go too far in one direction when you perform any off-site strategies like content marketing and building backlinks. For example, if you are building backlinks you do not want to create too many backlinks from the same website or the same network of websites.
The graph below shows that most of the traffic comes from search engines. To give exact numbers, 92.4% of the traffic comes from search engines, about 4.01% from referring sites and about 3.59% is direct. Since 2008, the website has seen a lot of organic growth.
Unique Visitor Growth Rate: 2008 – 2010:
Below are 3 graphs that show the unique visitors from 2008, 2009 and 2010. You will see that each year the website has seen significant growth.
In the graph below, 2008 had 4.1 million unique visitors
In the 2009 graph below, unique visitors increased from 4.1 million to 9.2 million
In the 2010 graph below, unique visitors increased from 9.2 million to 13.1 million. All of the other stats pretty much stayed the same, which shows the website has been attracting the same type of traffic.
In the 2011 graph below, unique visitors increased from 13.1 million to 14 million. You can see the traffic drop in April, this is when Google Panda Update hit. The reason our traffic dropped was because we lost the rankings for the 1 or 2 word keywords. For example, we still rank for “how to get rid of fleas”, but lost the rankings for “fleas”. The good thing is in 2012, we are doing better than 2011 before Google Panda. We will see how the rest of the year plays out.

So how are we able to achieve these results? In short – time and effort. Some of it included:
- The content on the site is synergistic with other sites we do work for like American Health Journal, so we are able to add links from things like what causes peripheral vascular disease to how to get rid of arteriosclerosis etc. Many of the how to get rid of terms are medical issues.
- Time – Time strengthens a domain. Nothing we did here but the domain is old. For new projects we suggest buying an old domain.
- Self linking – Many of our how to get rid of articles link to similar ones. EG how to get rid of acne scars can link to how to get rid of acne.
- Building over time – The HTGROS site has 3-4 new articles per week. HTGROS does not have a blog but having a blog is one natural way to grow a site over time, and use that blog to naturally self link where appropriate.
- Quantity of material – HTGROS is a larger site, but not only does it have 1,300+ pages, the pages are long with many over 1,000 words.
- Judicious word density – Google wants good readable content so we do not suggest writing unnaturally to get word or phrase frequency up. But do incorporate them naturally where possible.
- The URLs on the site are the titles of the pages and howtogetridof is the title of the whole site. Very powerful for Google when someone types how to get rid of.
- Focus on long tail. Long Tail was a concept that Chris Anderson brought up in his famous book The Long Tail. The concept it that the Internet allows for not only big concepts to be found but smaller variations. For example – acne is searched 3,350,000 times per month but how to get rid of acne is only searched 673,000 times. And vitamin C and acne is only searched 4,400 times. Clearly the latter phrase will be much easier to get page one on. HTGRS has more long tail focus.
- Getting found is good – Focus on quality (Google likes that). Getting irrelevant hits adds no value. You want people to have a good google experience just like Google does.
HowToGetRidOfStuff.com is an example of a website that lives and dies by organic search engine rankings. Google is the largest search engine and is where over 90% of the traffic comes from. Understanding how search engines work and how their algorithms are calculated is very important in having a successful online business. Beyond traditional SEO strategies, having an optimized website is just as important. There are many factors that have to be considered when you want to compete in the SEO game.
