I have five domains (but up to 15 landing pages) that I would like to drive additional targeted natural search traffic to. The sites range from content aggregator sites to affiliate landing pages.
The key metrics of success are:
1) natural search traffic from high rankings on targeted keywords (looking to go from ~300-500 natural search visits to 3,000+ per site per month)
2) traffic quality: keeping my conversion rate within 30% of its current rate
Activities I'd like you to lead:
> Link building on PR3+ sites including social media sites
> Article marketing
> Recommendations for minor changes to my sites if that will make an impact
> Any other white-hat techniques that will drive long-term traffic
Project timelines:
I'd prefer gradual investment of your hours so that we can track success and tweak strategies as we go. I'm looking for your recommendation, but I had 2-3 months in my head.? Assuming success, we can renew the project and add additional sites to the list going forward.
What I'm looking for:
1) Results-orientation: willing to take accountability for the goals above
2) Expertise: success doing SEO for other clients, with high client ratings
3) Proactivity: ability to take the lead
4) ROI: probably not too surprisingly, I'm looking to get incremental commissions and advertising revenue that goes above what I'm paying for the SEO work
