Receiving organic traffic!

Haven't posted in a while. It's the last week of my summer holiday (which was definitely necessary) and like I wrote in my last post, I made content creation a priority so haven't been that active in WA. I did manage to write couple lengthy posts that I'm happy with, without sacrificing too much of my precious holiday downtime. So that's a success in my books!

Last week was spent in Estonia in Pärnu and Saarenmaa. Both places were absolutely beautiful and the weather was excellent just like here in Finland (and apparently the hottest summer in history in the whole Europe). Had my laptop with me and managed to squeeze out one 2500 word article while others were napping or sun bathing. This is definitely what I want to do for a living :). The pic is from the sun deck of our Airnbnb condo in Pärnu.

Today I received my monthly statistics from Google analytics and to my surprise I had organic traffic! Haven't checked the details yet but there was enough that I actually think some of my posts have ranked in Google. It was only about 30 or so but if my site is generating organic traffic at the three-month mark I'm more than happy! I'm aware this might be a glitch with Googles interpretation and not real organic traffic from search results but I'm keeping my thumbs up.

My site now has 15 posts with most of them having word count of over 2000 and very low competition keywords (QSR <30) with some traffic (avg > 100) estimated by Jaaxy. If I'm actually receiving organic I'm ecstatic! It means I'm breaking through the Google new site barrier and things are really starting to pick up.

I'm still stuck with the training a bit. I'm doing the affiliate bootcamp for my main site right now but like I said in previous post, I'm not comfortable reviewing products I don't own. My site is currently more about general articles in the make-money-online and work-from-home niche with Wealthy Affiliate as the main affiliate product.

That's why I have been going through the affiliate bootcamp training instead of the online entrepreneur certificate. However I feel like the online entrepreneur certificate might be more suitable for my sites current direction. I tried it with my first niche site, which I have ditched for now, but the training felt more up-to-date and in line with my goals. Any feedback from people who have completed both trainings would be much appreciated.

That's it for now. I'll be finishing one more post before the end of the week. Then my holiday will be over and I will be more busy with work but I still aim to dedicate more time to my business as the weather start getting worse. We have decided to get a dog, so I hope that won't take up too much of my time :)

Thanks for reading if you made it this far!

Hope you had a good time off even though you were still working. The course can be challenging at times, but if you take it one day at a time and focus, you will reach your goal. Now that you had some time off to relax and rest, you will have a much better approach when you start again.
All the best.

Thanks!

Congratulations. Good stuff.

Thanks!

Sounded like a beautiful vacation! ... it's been hot here in North America, too... pretty much everywhere in the world except for our Southern Hemisphere friends... thanks kindly for sharing & keep going... cheerio... :)

...solution: plant the right trees in the right place... offers protective cooling of something like 3-8 degrees centigrade or about 8 degrees fahrenheit... and care for them..... :)

Hi Jukkah:
My name is Nancy and you're living the life I'm aspiring to. Nothing like being able to work on your content while on a fantastic vacation. I'm going through the entrepreneur training now but plan to hit the WA Boot Camp when I'm done. Loads of luck to you!!

Thanks Nancy! I guess I'll finish the boot camp as well first.

You are doing good in your business. Congratulations.

Hope so! Thank you.

You are welcome.

Sounds like a wonderful vacation!! And so awesome you were able to get some great content written. Congratulations on the organic traffic!

Thanks Heidi!

Hello Julia, it seems things are falling into place. How you are creating your posts is a good way. It is important to follow the organic traffic to see how it increases. I find the website based on the Bootcamp training seems to do better than those that follow the Entrepreneur training. That could be because the Entrepreneur training is usually niche sites.

Thanks for the tip Harvey! Maybe I'll stick with the bootcamp for now. Have to find a way way write some good reviews without buying every product. And my name is Jukka by the way ;)

Sorry about that Jukka, the spellcheck changed it and I did not notice. You don’t have to buy everything you review, but you do need to do a bit of research to see what others are saying and what they are not saying.
