Hi Lily,

I know how you feel because I'm in much the same situation as you are.

A significant percentage of my keywords rank on the 1st page of the search engines. However, my traffic is not where I want it. Much less conversions.

But here is the problem. We tend to over think things. WA provides us with the winning formula. Faith that the process will work is the key.

I am at the point now where I can see each new post raise the quantity of clicks higher and higher. But when I slow down, the clicks also drop back to where they were. But this is the interesting thing. When I post a new article, the clicks resume at the higher level I had before and fo even higher.

This is telling me that I am at the inflexion point and this is the time I must write regularly and not stop. We shall see.

I started my website in March 2019. And I have 101 posts published on it, Far too little so I need to continue to write and post.

Cheers.

Edwin

Keywords on was supposed to bring out your content on your website to be seen. As part of the training goes, you shoot for the "low hanging fruit". Some people still don't get it. I was too. But the point for the "low hanging fruit" should be related to the trend of whatever the niche is. The whole point is to be seen on the higher up on the first page. Like within the top 10 on the first page. For example if "birds' wings" are all on the first page, what can your niche be about birds' wings that can out compete the others to be on the first page to be seen. That's how I understand it when using Jaaxy. If this helps, great!. If not, I tried my best. Best wishes!

I guess I'm the odd one out here in believing that keywords are still relevant to higher rankings and more search engine traffic. Though important they are not what Google uses to rank you for.

However you cannot expect every page and post you create to bring you great results. Less than 50% will be great. When you have some detailed content, those will do better.

Another thing that is extremely important when it comes to getting higher rankings on Google Page 1 and thus more traffic, is in-depth content of at least 2000 words.

A couple of years ago both Neil Patel and Statista did two separate studies, both showing content of at least 2000 words was most likely to rank highest. But this content needed to be relevant.

Keywords in your titles get you noticed. Your Meta description gets people to click on your content. But it is the in-depth content that is relevant to your keyword that will get you rankings and traffic.

For example, the link above is to a review I did on my Bootcamp website. You were the first person to comment on it through Site Comments and comments also impact rankings.

About 50% of my comments came from organic Google searches. I am even ranking on Page 1 for keywords found in my comments. When Google ranks your content it also looks at your comments.

In short, yes keywords will help your content, but Google ranks you for the in-depth content that is relevant to the keyword query. If your content has lots of information for the reader, Google ranks it.

Lily, over 4.4M blog posts are published on the internet EVER DAY!
That said, between 90-95% of blog posts written will wither away into a cobweb filled room.
It is at that turning point, similar to where you are, that most people give up.

I do not share this to scare you away but to highlight the need for resilience and patience.
We are running a marathon and it will take time.

You are already ahead of the majority out there.
Take a break.
Do something different for inspiration.
Intensify YOUR focus and keep distractions away.

You are getting close to success.
Cassi

Hi Lily,
I have had pretty much the same experience as you. I'm in Bootcamp Phase 6, all about bing ads and leading up to ppc campaigns in Phase 7.
Unfortunately, I have no money for ads. So the learning stops until I do.

I concentrate on making my websites the best they can be for now.
