Background of the study
Content marketing has emerged as a critical strategy for driving organic traffic in the digital landscape, particularly for tech news websites. In Kaduna, tech news platforms are leveraging high-quality, informative content to attract and retain audiences without relying heavily on paid advertising (Uche, 2023). This study examines the effectiveness of content marketing strategies in generating organic traffic for a tech news website. By focusing on search engine optimization, engaging storytelling, and timely updates, these websites aim to position themselves as authoritative sources of tech information (Ibrahim, 2024). The research explores how content relevance, frequency of updates, and audience interaction contribute to improved search rankings and sustained organic growth. In addition, the study considers the role of social media sharing and user engagement in amplifying content reach (Chinwe, 2023). Despite the potential benefits, challenges such as content saturation and algorithm changes pose significant risks to organic traffic generation. This study employs mixed methods, combining analytics data with user feedback, to evaluate the performance of content marketing efforts. The findings are expected to offer actionable insights for tech news websites striving to optimize their digital presence (Adebayo, 2024).
Statement of the problem
Tech news websites in Kaduna face challenges in sustaining organic traffic growth despite significant investments in content marketing. While high-quality content can drive search engine rankings and audience engagement, fluctuating algorithms and increased competition complicate efforts to maintain steady organic traffic (Okoro, 2023). Moreover, the lack of a robust framework to measure the direct impact of content marketing on organic reach makes it difficult for digital strategists to allocate resources effectively (Ibrahim, 2024). This study aims to address these issues by identifying the key drivers of organic traffic and evaluating the effectiveness of content marketing strategies in the tech news sector.

Its findings will help in designing effective content strategies that improve search rankings and audience engagement. The research contributes to academic literature on digital content marketing and offers practical recommendations for sustaining organic growth in competitive online media landscapes.
