affiliate article organic traffic growth

Flagship Article Project Overview

I partnered with a website owner in the highly competitive pets niche to boost the organic traffic of their flagship article, which generates revenue through affiliate commissions from referral traffic.

The article once attracted substantial organic search traffic to the website, but its performance had declined over time, and it required a strategic overhaul to regain its full traffic potential.

My Approach

So, exactly what did I do to improve this?

Content Refresh
  • Collaborated with a professional writer to update the article with fresh, high-quality content
  • Added new, relevant images to enhance visual appeal
  • Embedded relevant YouTube videos to increase engagement
Technical SEO Optimisation
  • Improved heading structure for better readability and SEO
  • Optimised target keyword usage throughout the article
  • Enhanced media elements for faster loading and better user experience
  • Implemented structured data for richer search results
  • Boosted PageSpeed Insights scores for improved performance
Link Building Campaign
  • Built a prospect list of websites already linking to competitors
  • Conducted targeted outreach to these prospects

Results

Between February and June 2025, organic traffic to the article increased by an impressive 68%, rising from 9,638 to 16,232 clicks per month.

  • Keyword Gains: Hundreds of keywords jumped from positions 3–10 on the first page of Google to the top three positions, with many of the most important keywords reaching the coveted #1 spot. This surge in keyword rankings fueled the 68% increase in organic search traffic.
  • Revenue Impact: With a strong affiliate conversion rate through their partner e-commerce website, this boost in traffic translated directly into a significant and immediate increase in revenue. Nice!

Highly Recommend Joe at Velocity Links – Not Your Ordinary SEO Agency

My website was severely impacted by Google’s recent algorithm updates, dropping from around 250,000 visitors per month to just 15,000 and lower. It was a devastating loss, and I knew I needed expert help. That’s when I was referred to work with Joe at Velocity Links.

Through evidence-based research, Joe worked closely with me to develop a custom recovery strategy. We both knew there were no guarantees, but every decision was backed by solid reasoning and high-level SEO expertise. Unlike generic SEO strategies that rely on whitelabeled reports from tools like SEMrush or Ahrefs, Joe brought true technical knowledge as a software engineer and a site owner who has successfully managed websites with 500,000+ visitors per month.

The results speak for themselves—between July, when we started, and December 2024, my site saw 980,000 visitors, with a remarkable 300,000 in December alone. While I don’t believe such recoveries are always possible, considering what I had lost, I would absolutely take the risk again.

Joe’s approach was clear, transparent, and incredibly well-executed. He didn’t just offer advice—he helped me implement the strategy, explained everything in detail, and was upfront about what to expect. He is a man of integrity, and I personally endorse his work. If you need real, data-driven SEO expertise, Joe is the person to talk to.

If you have concerns, you can find me online and reach out to me on linkedin, I would be happy to give you more details so that there isn’t a shred of doubt about my experience with Joe.

Joe Is a Strong JS Developer Coupled with Great Communication Skills

During my time working with Joe at Tesco he always made sure we were doing things the right way and for the right reason. He was the go to person for Tesco Direct with his long term experience and understanding of the code base.

Joe often would consider SEO when developing, including sharing SEO tips from his learning outside of Tesco. I’m lucky to have been in the team with Joe whilst he was at Tesco as he also brought a great deal of personality which to me when setting up a team is key.

I would happily recommend Joe for any future JS projects and hope to work with Joe again in the future.
