For me traffic has been slow, but I am finally seeing a slow but steady trend up. I am planning to keep adding content and see if the trend continues over the next few months. From people's comments here it seems at some point you seem to hit a critical mass and traffic/results increase quickly.

Hey, Kristena! I feel your pain, in a sense. I am more concerned at this point at working on my content than investing on my "WA side". Once you have an established site, you will then have the experience and know how to help others more efficiently, making better use of everybody's time - yours and theirs. I once made either a comment or a review on your website, and I said that you have a home run waiting to happen there - I still believe that. Keep producing content, writing long posts, and developing your site and things will start to catch up. We should be in this for the long run - we are talking years, not days, weeks or even months. One step at a time, one success at a time.

Keep pushing through and make sure you website is always topped up with the latest information and the design is sleek and professional.

Advertise on social media, Use webmaster tools often, I have been doing this for 2 weeks and I am seeing good results.

I can imagine you do go through quite spells though, Same with everything, Stay happy! Here if you need anything :)

I feel your pain! LOL. The problem with the following in WA is you're really not allowed to use us to build your personal business… only to learn how to build it outside of this community. It's a catch-22. You have enough people here to build a healthy email list, but you can't add people here directly to your list - they would have to visit one of your websites and opt in. Since you are allowed to list your sites on your profile page, you can encourage members to check out a site.

I see you changed your home page. Looks Fantastic, now. The only thing I might suggest now is to put an opt-in form where you have that banner ad fro Bench; or under it. Create an e-Book with your top 7 recipes are NOT can't find on the site. Seven recipes only available in your free eBook - after they've filled in your opt-in form, of course (there's you email list). If your recipe calls for a mixer, make the word "mixer" bold and it link to a nice KitchenAid mixer in your Amazon affiliate account. And so on.
