About Progress And Doubt: Finished Level 3 - But NO traffic!?

Huh! That took quite a while.

Quick recap: I joined WA back in 2016, then quit for a year (you can read more about it here) and returned about two months ago.

I was mid way thorugh Level 2 at that point and basically picked up where I left. My blog had two articles back then and I wasn't really sure about my niche selection. I struggled coming up with good keywords and didn't really know what I was doing.

Two months fast forward

I have just finished level three! That doesn't sound like a lot, taking into account that it took me TWO months. But I accomplished a lot along the way. And I feel like if you want to tick off every single checkbox and maintain a regular schedule of publishing new content, it probably takes that much time.

Here is number 20

Just today I have published my 20th blog post to That Toy Dad and that feels really good. Some I have written myself, some I have outsourced (but with close guidelines for my author)...

Overall, I feel progress. It feels like I have accomplished something and that I am moving forward.

BUT...

Yesterday I happened to register for bing webmaster tools and while being there, I also decided to check out my google webmaster tools real quick. Oh boy: I had (just EIGHT) clicks on search results in the past 30 days.

Yeah, some may say that 8 is more than 0. But EIGHT!?

  • My domain exists since 2016 (even though the blog was down until November 2017, but is back up since then and indexed by google).
  • I have targeted low hanging fruit keywords
  • My posts are all at least 1500 words long, some even up to 3000 words long
  • I got GREAT feedback from the community when I requested it.

What is wrong?

So my question is: What is wrong here? Is that expected? At the end of Level 3 Kyle suggests setting up google analytics as "by now there should be some traffic" - Not for me :-(

Any suggestions? Some hand holding? Anyone who would like to take a look at my blog and give me an idea what I could improve?

Thanks guys!

You're great!!!
