Is there anyone out there that actually gets 100,000 hits a month (or more) via SEO?

It seems my big competitors are getting the heavy traffic and I can not figure out how. I am doing tons of SEO, article submissions, press releases, social bookmarking, forum posting, onsite optimization, link building etc.

I would love to talk to someone who is actually getting this level of traffic.

 

I would suggest you could try to use spyfu to analyze the online advertising tactics used by your competitor. The other source of great traffic would be that your competitor has cracked the way to get to the first page of sites like digg, stumble upon etc.

 

It's tough, but it's doable. I've got one site that gets about 150K visitors/month from Google. I've got some others that get pretty good traffic (20K+), but no others over 100K.

 

Depends or purpose of the site having a e commerce site with heavy traffic site, comes alot of issues you need to address such bounce rates, conversions, duplicate or near duplicate content. Getting more traffic doesn't necessary mean more business.

Most likely your big competitors have a ranking on Keywords that might have more traffic, they could rank for more long tail keywords (this can up to tons of extra visits), it could also be due to positioning, the first 3 positions due tend to get 80% of the traffic for your keyword. I would use Google traffic estimator tool to figure out which keyword get a high click through rate.

But is more traffic that important? Some times less traffic and better design and usability will get a increase in conversions without any traffic gains.

 

Maybe you are in a tough niche...what's your site about?

 

Asking who is getting 100k hits a month is worthless, its not going to help you in any way.

I've got one site doing 1 million hits a month, and I make more money from another site doing 10-15 hits a day.

 

One of my sites has 120,000 uniques in the last Month, heres the stats

Slight downfall in the middle due to hosting problems though

Yeah, I'm gonna get more than 100,000 people coming from Google to my website Animefart.Com this month

 

how much money do you guys make from 100,000 hits?

 

I've got more than 1.5 million people this month on my website, I've made just above $2,000.

 

Again this isn't really going to help you with anything as every niche, website and business is different. If my business with 10-15 hits a day scaled up to 100k a month (which it couldn't really) I'd be making $33m a month

Even on adsense etc sites there is going to be a world of difference between a video uploading site and one about credit cards.

 

I helped a friend get his site above 100,000 UVs a month by tweaking on-page factors. He was previously getting about 15,000. However his site had over 100,000 pages so the task was relatively easy - a minor improvement per page added up to a big improvement overall.
