Does SEO related content generate more traffic?

Abhay Singh

3 Dec, 2018

Considering the different topics I write about on my blog, it is hard to say what niche my blog will fall in. But needless to say, I have noted that Search Engine Optimization or SEO related content generate significantly more traffic than other content on my blog.

How did I come to that conclusion?

I recently wrote a blog post on how not following a particular niche affects a blog's performance. Which to my surprise was getting as much as double the number of visitors compared to other blog posts published before and after that post.

Not only this, the most popular blog post on this blog is also related to SEO. That's Unconventional Traffic Generation Hacks nobody shares

In spite of having written articles on various topics including DOTA 2, gaming, and tricks my blog gets better views for SEO related blog posts.
