Keywords don't need to match exactly if search intent exists.

I have been getting traffic to a couple of my posts on Google with queries that are not the exact keywords. This is great! I am getting it from search intent. It may not sound like much to some but I am about to pass 120 click from Google in 28 days.

That is the best I have done. If I check research with Jaaxi it tells me I have no traffic at all and no matter if I put in my keywords or the queries on Google.

But when I check search console I have 5 queries getting results in the top 5 on serps and a couple more close behind.

You don't have to have the exact keyword phrases to get traffic, just write good content for user intent and Google will send traffic to you.

Special thanks to Prince Partha and the Queen of Fluff. Your encouragement and methods have kept me going and even though the going is slow, I am still going.
