Code blog has reached 11k organic visits monthly

I've been playing close attention to the content marketing game, and been at for a year now. Here is what I've learned so far:

  1. Article lengths don't matter. I got 112 word articles ranking at top and pulling views

  2. Answer questions that have not been answered

My next goal is to hit 20k visitors per month by June 2020. I think I can hit it faster, but no need for me to put too much pressure on myself like that.

    Wow, that is impressive! I recently reached 1k visitors per month after blogging for about 6 months but I have focused on making all my posts at least 800 words and the last few weeks have been busy so I haven't been blogging as much. Really good to know that shorter articles can perform well too! Def going to check out your blog and see what I can do to improve.

      Yea, at first I read that the ideal article is 1500+ words. That made writing really daunting, especially when certain topics don't need to be that lengthy of an article.

      What I've come to find out is that if you can answer someones question even with a few sentences really well, it will rank highly. YOu just gotta do it better than the person above you.
