Using FAQ Pages To Capture Organic Search Traffic

Mar 25, 2009

I wanted to craft some FAQ pages on a few of my personal websites and find out if I could easily generate laser targeted traffic to my sites without much effort on my part. Using the Google Keyword Tool, I found questions that are being searched for in the industries that I am targeting with my sites and created FAQ pages using these search phrases. In addition to the questions, I would add about a paragraph or more of keyword rich content in reply to each question.

After crafting about five questions for each site, I stopped and built a few links to the page to get it indexed quickly. To do this, I used Propeller, a social bookmarking site. I have found that by adding a link to a new page in Propeller, it usually gets indexed in about 4-6 hours. I left the sites alone for the rest of the night and logged into Google Analytics in the morning. Not expecting to see anything different, I was amazed to see that I had gotten traffic from all of those questions in the last 10 hours or so.
