Hot and Cold Traffic? Could be Your Low Hanging Fruit!
Soooo.....here we are at about 2 to 3 months now and wondering when I will see more traffic to my site. I'm sure most of you that are new are having the same issues as well. After much "hair wringing", gasping and grabbing at ANYTHING..obsessing over Google Analytics with furrowed brow wondering...so! Where IS everybody????
Cut to the chase, after careful review of my methods of using Jaaxy and Google, I have found some useful ways to maximize those tools for more traffic to my site.
1. Alphabet soup Google searches - This works using the searches that automatically pop up. Copy and paste the search term in Jaaxy....which leads to what to look for.
2. Jaaxy search engine results you WANT: low to high traffic 20 to 200 or so and LOW QSR 10 to 200 max. Low to high traffic, Low 100's QSR is ideal.
3. Utilize key words in your content but DON"T write for the SEARCH ENGINES...that means..
4. Write relevant content that benefits your readers...This is where you NEED to just LET GO and write your piece with the READER in mind.
a) What do your readers NEED to know?
b) Why is this relevant?
c) How to??? Example: How to slow aging - With Yoga! How to Lose Belly Fat and still drink (me likey!) etc...Never met a margarita I didn't like! check out my website for examples: http://bestinbeautytheorganicway.com
5. Less design, more content. This is a big one. The reader wants to read not just look.
...Now, I'm going to interject here because, I personally believe you NEED to have a style of some sort. Some people are visual and like to see images as long as they're relevant to your niche. I find anything that looks too generic, is amateur. Find a way to "split the difference". This way is good....
6. Using pre-fabbed themes. The work is already done so you don't have to get too caught up in fonts, colors and layout. Just keep it clean and readable and your good.
Well...I hope this helps and for some of you that have been here awhile, I'm sure this is all familiar but always worth a reminder. Have you had success using alphabet soup and low hanging fruit? If so, please share your experiences here on this blog or feel free to leave a comment on my site.
Have a great week.

I like your "never met a margarita I didn't like" and I too am a visual person so I think the site does need images. BTW, I'm counting on yoga to slow aging. Not that you need to worry about that yet. I'm certain that I'm old enough to be your mother. LOL. ~Debbi
Ha ha! You'd be surprised. I'm older than you think. Yoga is great to slow aging but I think it has to do with attitude and a combination of many factors. Thanks for reading! Best wishes on your continued success!
Have you ever had a wine margarita? Surprisingly good! And my theory is: you can drink more of them!
Great post! Its a good reminder of what to do to get those keywords and content is the key to all happiness!! Thanks for the info!
Have a great day!
Nice blog, but I did not understand number 1.- ...alphabet....would you explain a little bit more? thanks.
What you want to do is type in your niche into the Google search bar. Google comes up with some keywords for your search. After your niche is typed in, type the letter A after it and see what keywords Google comes up with. Then B and so on through the alphabet.
Hope this helps
Have a great day!
