What's Getting Me Frustrated...
I worked on posts, and on my website. I focused on quality content and on keywords with very low QSR. (0-20)
I want to work on my website, but my keywords are not ranking, and I'm losing my motivation. I asked a few times how long it takes for very low QSR words to rank, and I didn't receive a single answer.
So I want to know what can I expect with Google rankings?
If anyone can provide the answer to me, I will be very appreciative. It will certainly help me get more excited about doing this again.

I just did a search for "Happy Toddlers" as a key word phrase in Google. Your site shows up on page 11 in the 8th position. So, you are ranked, just not highly for that key phrase - yet.
You are working your way up, so keep at it. The work your doing today will take at least 48 hours before you see any results.
First goal is top 10 pages. Then within the top 3 pages. Then work on page 1.
Your doing good. It could be a lot worse, like when I started out. I was somewhere on page 125 or something ridiculous like that. My first site wasn't even a consideration in someone's thought process.
Hang in there and just take it one step at a time. You are off to a great start and we all have moments of not feeling motivated.
Keep learning what you can about optimising your posts. If you keep doing your keywords and quality content, you will get ranked eventually. Just give it some time. :)))
I went to your raisinghappytoddlers.com and it looks good. Even the coupon page shows things needed for happy toddlers.
A site map is a text file that tells Google where all the pages in your site are located. This helps Google index your site for searches. You can free ones done on your site. Then upload that to your google webmaster account.
It will take roughly a day or so for google to start using it. Sometimes faster but expect about a day.
Low QSR keywords take a while to really kick in. It starts as a trickle and then starts to ramp up. Other factors that can have an affect is your niche, the seasons, and the promotion of your site.
A way to get additional traffic is to write an ezine article. This will allow you to place a quality link back to your site. The article has to be totally unique and without a lot of grammar and spelling errors. Once reviewed and approved it will go live. It takes a couple days for approval.
Hang in there. Don't give up. It gets frustrating - believe me I know where you are coming from.
Thanks for the detailed response. I will see about the ezine articles. It's good to know what to expect once I do a site map. Thank you!
Not a problem at all.
I've been working on my site for nearly a year, and I still have more work to do. It hasn't even been published yet. I am so ready to get it up and out there. But without all the elements in place it won't do me any good, and the work will be lost.
Even when I do make the site live, it will take at least two days for it be ranked. Then another 2-3 months before I see any real traffic. Thats based off my research for my niche, and my site. Your numbers will different, of course.
Hey .. keep your motivation. If you look to my site i have also done a lot of work with low level keywords.. The rankings will come eventually... tell me something.. have you set up a site map and had google index your pages yet?
Let me see your URL and ill let you know my thoughts.
Thanks

(My last post still needs tweaking...)

Your site so far is very nice, lots of good information and images. It is a great job, and something you can be proud of, and a very good reason to keep your motivation.
