4 Months of Bootcamp, Still Not Ranked
I started bootcamp at the end of July 2013 and I have just completed Phase 3. I have followed the lessons to the tee. Lesson 10 I used, to go through my website and fix any mistakes that were obvious to me.
I put in more images and changed some of the banners to better positions on the site. Still no rankings.
I then took another look at my keywords focusing on QSR and monthly searches. All my keywords have monthly searches of more than 50 and one of them, the QSR's is as low as 19. Still no rankings.
Google Analytics: Visits 32, Unique Visitors 9, Pageviews 175, Pages/Visit 5.47, Ave. Visit Duration 00:12:17, Bounce Rate 31.25%, New Visits 29.12%. If my site is not ranked where are these visitors coming from? My site has been up and running for 4 months, are these visits not very low?
I would really appreciate it if someone could give me feedback on where I may be going wrong, or should I just be patient and continue with the next phase.

Hey Garth, as Jeffrey said below "Bootcamp" is highly competitive and you have to be in it for the long haul. Steve (@IveTriedThat) just wrote a training piece about this very topic, it's probably worth checking your site against his advice as well. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/15-reasons-why-your-site-isnt-listed-in-google-generating-traffic-or-making-money :) Rich.
Thank you too Rich for the advice you have just given me. Just hearing from you guys makes me feel better already. I am about to check out the site you sent me. Garth
I don't have any credit yet either, can't say much for my rankings, I have gone on with a new website advertising different stuff, may WA isn't the favorite niche to make money.
It's great that you've done all these work following the instructions. The reason why your website is still not ranked is because you are not the only one gunning for those top rankings in Google and it takes time to firmly establish yourself in Google. Be patient and persistent. You'll finally get what you want. All my best wishes to your success.

Hi Garth if you type in to Google Search "My wealthy affiliate review" your post appears on page 8. If you search " The retired Wealthy Affiliate" guess what? Your post is on page 1. Yipeeee! I only searched for this particular blog post. Congrats. Nice site. Good on you. Cheers :) Patti
Doesn't matter if no one is searching those keywords. Heck I can rank on page 1 for "best worn out blue men shoes" today if I want. That would be a page 1 ranking but it's worthless like the ones you mentioned since they receive no searches.
You have a valid point there GdonChris. Too True. Worthless or not it is better than not ranking at all!
