+20% more organic traffic (2 studies)

If your domain authority is low, you can forget about high organic traffic.

Silvio Porcellana managed to improve his DA from 29/100 to 34/100.
As a result his organic traffic grew by 20%.

Here’s how he achieved it:
1. He published 44 guest posts on different blogs with a domain authority between 25 and 77/100.
2. Every guest post had direct links to his website and his other blog posts.
3. Out of the blogs he contacted, 55% did not respond, 15% were not interested, while 30% accepted his proposal.
4. He was interacting with people in his articles’ comment section. Then he found that 5% of those people converted into leads.

Another travel website followed the same approach but focused on only promoting one page and one keyword.

Results:
1. They managed to move their post onto the 1st page of Google with just 5 guest posts.
2. Their organic traffic increased by 4 times.
