I just wanted to share my progress with my drug addiction blog and its rankings.
I started my drug addiction blog because I am a drug addict in recovery. I spent 15 years in active addiction wrecking my life and I wanted to share with others what happened to me, how I got clean and how I stay clean.
So that was my first goal - an outlet for my passion to help other addicts and their families. To educate people about drug addiction.
So anyway life got in the way of my little hobby, because I need to eat right? I need to make money and I need to work on my money making websites.
So anyway this year I suddenly saw some money coming in from Adsense from my addiction blog so I was pleasantly surprised. Just out of interest I went to have a look at my Google Analytics.
I was not expecting anything great because at that time I had literally not posted anything new on my addiction blog. I kept wanting to, but I was so busy with my other 2 websites that I never got to it.
Imagine my surprise and happiness seeing that the website I mostly ignored was growing in rankings without me doing a single thing!
It turns out Google just loves this website! It doesn't have a huge amount of content on it, and I don't do a huge amount of marketing or work on it.
Here is a screenshot of my Organic Traffic to this website since January to yesterday.
Ok and do you see that huge spike in the last few days? Well when I saw how my organic traffic was growing without me doing a thing I thought what if I do something? How about adding some more posts, what about writing an eBook like I have always thought about?
Well I just did it and it is doing well. I wrote about it on my website and Google loves it and so does my readers.
I have heard a number of people saying that if you want to blog, blog about whatever you are passionate about and forget about the money.
Just goes to show that there might just be something in that right? Because I put the least amount of effort in and while I am not exactly raking in the cash on this website I can see the huge potential here!
Also maybe drug addiction is a popular niche?

I know you have a tool for researching keywords but do you got any tools for keeping an eye on your ranks and for which keywords you rank for? The sudden spike increase in organic traffic means you are ranking very well for keywords with an important number of monthly searches, which this is what SEO is all about. Good Job! Nice organic traffic you got the Lynne! Nice big spike as well as a huge rise recently, do you know the keywords you are ranking for? Or you just posted a couple of articles and hoped for the best?
