6011% Organic Traffic Growth for an E-Commerce Platform

Our client is a fast-growing e-commerce platform that entered a highly competitive niche, dominated by giants with deep pockets and years of SEO momentum. When they first partnered with us, they were sitting at just 3.6k monthly organic visitors, a Domain Rating of 10, and a limited keyword footprint of 750.

Despite having a well-structured site and great On-Page SEO, they struggled to build meaningful authority and gain visibility in organic search. That’s where our link-building expertise came into play.

💡Strategy

We knew right from the start that this wouldn’t be a short-term project. This space was ultra-competitive, and our client had ambitions to scale quickly — but sustainably. Our goal was to build a clean, diverse, and powerful backlink profile that would allow them to compete with the established players in their industry.

Authority Foundation

In the first few months, we focused on building authority through highly relevant and editorial links. We used our relationship-based link building technique, where we build real connections with the decision-makers of the sites we reach out to.

We focused on niche-relevant placements and outreach to topically aligned blogs and e-commerce-related sites. Our goal was to give Google strong trust signals and increase the site’s credibility in its niche.

Relevance & Depth

Once we had established an authoritative base, we moved into a more aggressive outreach campaign, targeting e-commerce, product review, lifestyle, and niche-specific sites. The key here was always relevance and quality – we never chased links from irrelevant or low-value sources.

We built links across a wide range of informational content, and commercial content. This allowed the link profile to grow naturally and safely, while still funneling authority toward product and category pages via smart internal linking.

Some of the high authority sites we built links from include:

• Hubspot.com (DR 93)
• G2 (DR 91)
• cs-cart.com (DR 84)
• uniqode.com (DR 80)
• mailmunch.com (DR 78)

🚀 Results

The impact of strategic link building, when paired with strong on-site content and technical SEO, was game-changing.

• Organic Traffic skyrocketed from 3.6k/month to over 220k/month – an astonishing 6011% increase.

• Keyword Rankings grew from 750 to over 285,000 – a 37,900% growth in discoverability.

• The Domain Rating jumped from 10 to 68, representing a 580% increase in site authority.

Final Word

This campaign is a testament to what can happen when patient, thoughtful link building meets a brand that’s serious about growth.

The e-commerce landscape is not an easy one – it’s saturated, algorithm-sensitive, and loaded with well-funded competitors. But our client proved that with a commitment to consistency, a long-term vision, and a focus on quality over shortcuts, it’s absolutely possible to break through the noise.
