[Journey] Growing SEO blogs to 1 Million Traffic per Month with my 2024 Method

After a long time investing time and money in SEO blogs, i have finally decided to start a journey thread, as i am buying a lot of domains and starting new blogs in coming days, so better document it for my discipline and for others to learn.

As title says this journey is to grow SEO blogs to 1 Million visitors per Month which translates to 238000 visitors per week, i will count these visitors as clicks from Google search console.

I am using chatgpt paid version for content, and i don't change anything but do leave out unnecessary content, that is usually 1 to 2 paragraphs.

i will be working in Non-English countries as i have discovered a niche that is working fairly well in Non-English, i have tried a lot of niches and techniques in English blogs, but nothing seems to stick.
I have made study of my eight blogs, and effect of sandbox on them here:
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/how-google-sandbox-is-working.1612269/

One thing is important with Non-English is that for some reason local TLD's are performing really well, i have testing .com's as well, but local TLD seems to have at least 30 to 40% better results. So now on, i am working with local TLD's only. (i am using godaddy for local TLD's)

Images are important as google understands the topic, so search topic on youtube, find the best frame and take screen shot, while making sure it is unique by using google images upload option.

Internal and external links to important words are also crucial, we make sure to do it. One thing is that after recent updates tag pages are ranking well, our 30% traffic is from tag pages, we make sure to create at least 2 to 3 tags from our keyword, and hyper link to these tag pages from article, at least 1 link to tag page per article.

My Current portfolio is 6 sites and i am planning to increase to 30 sites

Traffic for week #1 (17th June to 23 June 2024): Current: 2970 (Target: 238000)​

Site #1: German - 3 years old - sandboxed at 1k to 2k per day traffic - not working anymore


Site #2: Turkey- 1 year old - sandboxed at 300 to 600 per day traffic - not working anymore

Site #3: Italy - 3 years old - sandboxed at 100 to 300 per day traffic - not working anymore

Site #4: French - 3 years old - sandboxed at 100 to 300 per day traffic - not working anymore

Site #5: English - 5 years old - sandboxed at 600 to 1k per day traffic - not working anymore

Site #6: German #2 New Site - Started 20 days ago, Got accepted in adsense with just 20 articles and each around 600 words, so for adsense approval it is not about big content sites but sites that start getting good response from google. If site is doing well on google it will get accepted quickly on adsense

BTW i have 3 full time employees for website setup and content/post creation - will be updating regularly

This is a lot of work but it could be worth it.

Your screenshots and background in the subject are inspiring...good luck, I will be following your journey

That's awesome! I have so many questions tho!

1. How can you be sure the non-english content is grammatically correct and doesn't spit some caveman "me eat me sleep" from time to time? Or something that only locals will spot that "this was prolly not written by an Italian" for Italian blog let's say. Your 3 employees don't speak these many languages, so I've excluded an option that they could use their personal skills for editing.

2. Could you dumb it down a bit more of how the tag pages work? Where exactly is the viewer redirected after clicking on a keyword tag?

3. Can't understand the "use the google images upload option" - aren't images indexed automatically when adding blogs?

4. What CMS do you use for your blogs?

5. As an experienced person in blogging - what do you think about AdSense? I've seen some people saying there are "much better" options, in terms of earnings. I mean not counting affiliate marketing of course, and staying in the "paying for CPM/CPC" area.

1: It is not grammatically correct, i have collaborated with native speakers, there is no translation tool, nor any AI tool that will generate correct native language with correct grammar, forget about grammar, most times native speakers will tell me that the content is not even using correct words, for certain words there can be 3 to 4 synonyms, and these translation tools, google, bing, deepl most often get the wrong words, therefore this is a problem and that's why Non-English language works in certain niches only, where users will forgo your bad content, but still will engage with content, such niches are under "Entertainment" category.

2: tag pages are just like category pages or simply put "archive pages" where list of posts will be shown under that specific tag

3: I was talking about going to google.com and there is option to do search by uploading image, we use this option to check if image already present in Google database or not

4: Wordpress

5: Adsense is good for low traffic and new websites, but once your site has decent traffic, you should combine it with other networks, for example I get good increase in CPM by combining adsense + optad360 or adsense + nitropay etc, mediavine is also really good, but the acceptance into network is difficult.

Very Interesting find, if your post ranks for the first time, try to add at least 1 good backlink to it, this allows that post to maintain ranking and not get dropped.

1 months old french website


20 days old German


If your posts/articles start getting ranked and you keep on adding more content then eventually all of your posts will experience drop in rankings, i believe there is some content to backlinks ratio that Google is following.

Quality is better than quantity

How are you buying TLDs that require citizenship for that particular area/region?

For .de i am using namecheap, currently that is very cheap and everyone can buy
For other extensions i am using godaddy, they charge extra bit and handle citizen verification thing through trustee

Why do you think it's sandbox and not some kind of filter that basically kills your website and time (aka just waiting to sandbox to pass) doesn't help?

Interesting but need to work hard. However, that's sound Great. Keep updating. Good Luck

TBH sandbox is not the right term, but it is one that can be easily understood, it is some sort of control environment where if you are content is top notch, on-site is best, internal/external links ok, yet Google will not allow you to index or if you get indexed you will have very low positions, in this control environment no matter what you do, get users from other sources to visit site, get clicks, or engagement, get your website speed to 100, remove all ads, no matter what you do, you will not be able to escape this control environment, the only way becomes site aging and increase of backlinks/DA, this will eventually get you back to normal state.

Because Google does not wants to spend time and resources with all these low DA sites, so they simply send a bot, evaluate site and put it in control environment/sandbox.

Before these updates, Google would have sent bots to every new page published and rank it according to it's merit, but sadly that is not the case anymore

Thread worth watching.
Looking forward to your success.

How many posts do you have per website? Sorry if you have already mentioned it, I didn't see it

How do you convert this traffic into sales ?

#1 german has 2000 posts, #2 turkish has 1000 posts, #3: italy 2000, #4 French 2000, #5 English 2000, #6 is new site in German, only 25 posts
My new approach is less number of posts and get more backlinks, i will go max 100 to 150 articles per blog, not more

Using adsense and other ad networks for income, i.e optad360, nitropay

Week #1 (17th June to 23 June 2024): Current: 2970 (Target: 238000)​

Week #2 (23 June to 1st July 2024): Traffic: 7234 - 243% Increase​

Main increase due to posts going viral on new german blog, that is the thing if you have many blogs in different languages, few of them will keep on going viral.
My new sites Korean, Spanish, German have started indexing within 48 hours, next week my plan is Polish, Another 2 german sites, bcz right now .de domain is very cheap at namcheap. so better buy more !

I found a very well performing site using my method, and it seems he has around 100 posts and has built many good backlinks, now my target is same, build good backlinks, or buy some and keep content to around 100 posts.


I need 20 sites like this and i am well above 1 Mill traffic per month

Where do you get links? And where do you find these domains?

Great journey and a lot of to learn from. @xpesos

Do you use AI to create content?

Nice, but none of those websites are working anymore...how much did you earn from those websites on average before getting sandboxed?

Hey!
Great thread and very insightful!
I have a couple of questions:

1. When you say 3 year old sites, do you mean that the domain is 3 years old and you bought it and turned it into a site, or do you mean you acquired a 3 year old site? Or you acquired a domain 3 years ago, and you have been for 3 years operating the website?

2. How do you avoid tracks from google and being flagged as PBN, when you create multiple websites?

3. What is your process to acquire back links to ensure they don't negatively affect your website?

Thank you for the time and I hope you are able to answer these questions.
