Thanks for that information Kyle, so your are saying that sharing on article sites is a bad think to do?

You actually don't want to share content on article sites, that is a technique that may have worked years ago, but it is no longer relevant. The training here is going to walk you through the process of getting ranked via SEO and it comes down to the content that you add on your site and the engagement of that content.

Backlinks are actually bad, so going forward put ZERO focus on them. You don't need them to rank and if you are spending time to manufacture them, you can do more harm than good.

There is plenty of training on WA about SEO so you will be learning a bunch!

One of the best things to understand about SEO is your site structure and internal and external linking within your site as well as LSI Keywords
I have just finished re structuring one of my sites and it went form position 78 to position 27 in about 2 weeks
I have done some training for this here

Karissa look for long tail keywords (for a niche).

You might find some help looking at the main page of one of my sites in www.what2sellonline.com.

Wish you the best!

Karissa,

Definitely go through the training step by step like Carla suggested. Don't jump around. If you just started your site, don't expect a lot of traffic or major SEO traffic yet. In Google's eyes you're not to be trusted yet until you're producing content consistently for a few weeks and months.

They only reward sites that are in it for the long haul and provide good content consistently. This is ultimately a marathon. So keep that in mind.

I hope this helps.

Are you up to the point in the lessons where you install Google Analytics and Webmaster tools? When you get there, you will get what you need. Try not to rush through if you can wait. Each lesson builds on the one before. By sharing your site on social media, you will pick up organic traffic, too. Good Luck!
