My Website Is Finally Working Great
My website is getting a decent number of visits every single day. I can say it's finally working great!
Hello everyone!
As you might have noticed, I've have been quiet for a little bit more than a year, think I only shared one or two blogs here at WA, but you can be sure I've been working hard on my website every single day, for a few hours.
I stopped writing blogs here when the Google update hit really badly my website, from getting over a hundred visits per day, the traffic dropped to getting only around 30 visits per day!
I only could look at the traffic getting worse and worse every single day, but I didn't quit at all!
I kept reading your blogs and watching all the trainings here, I even upgraded to Premium Plus. Why to put more money and work on a website that was doing so bad? Because I knew I had to keep at it, and Wealthy Affiliate has everything that could help me to get that website on the right path.
I can't say how long was it when that Google update hit us website developers on a bad moment.
So today, I'm happy to share some good results, so you can feel motivated to keep working on your websites.
As I kept writing new posts, I learned more about sharing each post and my website on Pinterest, so I need to thank Jay for all the trainings he has been sharing with us.
I also need to thank Eric Cantu for all his trainings, he does amazing job sharing his knowledge about working on good keywords, and how to work on your own YouTube channel, which has helped me to keep making a video for each new post. Writing the title with a good copy and never forget to write a good video description with a good SEO.
Vitality has been sharing a great info about how to work on a website and how to get more traffic from Pinterest.
Kyle, you share also great info that is worth it to read and watch your videos.
Starting to look at my website getting a decent number of traffic every day on Google Analytics has been like... oh, it's working better! Oh, it did it again this week. Hmm, it keeps working good!
It started to hit 50 visits a day, then it went to over 100, and a few weeks later it was between 200 to 300 visits per day, and it kept working like that for a few months.
About two months ago, I thought about what should I do... and taking a look to my website and my competition, I could see my website needed more keywords!
I was doing a poor job on choosing keywords that people might be looking for on my niche.
As I started to write new posts with new keywords, the traffic number started to improve, and it has been working that way for the last month or month and a half.
Reaching between 300 and 400 visits a day, with some days going down around 200 was like the normal.
This past week I noticed it started to hit over 400 visits a day for a couple of days, and then very close to 500!
Today, you can see the traffic is over 500 visits per day!
So I thought you might like to see how it looks like:
It has been a long time working on it, and you might want to know some more about this website.
- It's on the crafts niche.
- It has over 600 post, most of them are tutorials.
- It's written in Spanish, and the traffic come from different countries like Spain, Mexico, USA, Latin America, Australia.
I used to have this website monetized with Google Ads, but when the traffic got too low, I shut it down. I want to wait to see if the traffic keeps working good to monetize this website again, but I want to see if Google ads are the best idea or look for another source.
The only money I get from this website is from YouTube and it's just a little, working also to get more views on my channel.
Two Website Are A Better Business
Yes, I have another 2 websites I work on, not as much as this main website, both websites are starting to work good, and I will keep working on them (also on the crafts niche)
It has been a lot of work and a long learning journey, but I have learned a lot and it feels great to get some good results from my hard work.
Thanks so much for reading and keep working on your website, it will work great, you're on the best place to learn all you need!
