Rob grew organic traffic by keeping the curation bar high, writing a short explanation of what made each featured site special, tagging entries well for search, and keeping pages fast and free of pop-ups/scripts.

“The short of it is I grow these projects by keeping curation high, saving people time. And I keep trying to add value to the network by writing what is special about the content, adding good search tags, and making the site fast.”

He credits part of his organic ranking directly to onepagelove.com containing the exact phrase "One Page", which he believes helps the site rank for most "One Page"-related search queries.

“My main project onepagelove.com includes the phrase "One Page", and I'm confident this influences why I rank for most "One Page" related search terms.”

Part of his growth loop was tagging the designers and makers he featured on Twitter when sharing their work.

“The more nuanced answer is cross-promotion between sites, tagging people we feature on Twitter, ensuring pages are coded clean (no pop-ups, min-scripts), and cached fast for Google.”

Rob grows his whole portfolio by cross-promoting between his own sites so traffic and audience compound across products rather than staying siloed to one.
