I don't know what's going on...It's been nearly three months now and my rankings keep fluctuating and my site is not getting any traffic...I'm using low competition keywords an

Compare the popularity of your niche and your target audience as well.

Good question, kent, It serves to educate others. Thanks.

Hi, Kentlum. You will be alright. The goals you have you will reach just don't punish yourself about it. You have to keep going on with your plan. It is coming day by day stay focus and enjoy.

Good Luck,

Sam&Iris;

I'm scared. Let me know if you get the solution.

I can't find a URL to your website

I have had a quick look through your site, getting too late at night to read it but from what I can see you have done an excellent job so far. You do not have enough comments yet, Not enough posts either but what you have is excellent as I said.

It will take time, Rome was not built in a day.

For my business I have a 3 year plan, I am not expecting too much in the first year (even though I am pushing as hard as I can to get results quicker) I am happy with my progress.

Give yourself a chance, keep at it, your FB page is good too, some images there didn't show up but overall it is good too.

It will come, you have a good start, be patient and continue to work hard.

It has just been said below! Cheers, William

What else are you doing to drive traffic - social media, PPC, email list, etc. Take *all* of the training here and make sure you are implementing everything that is taught.

Not getting traffic and low rankings?

1 and a half months in, none of my articles have yet to appear on the first 5 pages of Google for my keyword. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

This is what I'm current

WHAT IS THE LINK TO YOUR WEBSITE? I WILL HAVE A LOOK IF YOU SEND IT TO ME :-)) TANIA

Hi Kentlum, it really does take time to get ranked. Irv.

It will take time to get ranked, so if your site is still one month and a half, you have to be patient and keep working on it.

It's difficult to give a specific answer without knowing more information :)

or maybe because my website is still very new?

Those Urls, your deleting is going to get you higher in the search engines. And apart from that it will help your back linking...

I read in another thread that it will push your rankings down.

Google doesn't allow it anymore

It depends how you read that post, now if those sites don't have authority then Robert is right .. It will effect your ranking. But I personally am involved in forums where my content is relevant and I leave comments and they do the same, I also check to see if their website have some strength, otherwise it's pointless.. But the best way is and the quickest way, is once you have written a post to manually submit in your webmaster tools section..and fetch- Have you ever notice that you have 300 posts and only 100 is showing up in Google webmaster, I only learned this lastnight on a training webinar..

deleting the URL from people's comments. You should not delete the URL from people's comments. Leave it there it can be it good or bad.

Does your keyword reflect the targeting articles in your niche. It seems to me You should be using keywords that are customer targeting and conversion specific.

Without being able to see your website (none is listed in your profile) there is no way to answer this question.

Would it hurt to add a few banners on the sidebar?

Many people use them. Check the description of your theme authority regarding replication on each page.

NO..I THINK BANNERS, OF THE RIGHT KIND, CAN LOOK GOOD IN THE RIGHT SIDE BAR :-)) TANIA

No, it wouldn't hurt. It is the one area on a website where Google will not penalize your rankings for having too many affiliate links.

Hi Kent, I use banners on my side bars. Irv.

Hello Kent, that is where I currently have placed my banners.

No Kent it would not hurt, but keep in mind most themes have the same sidebar on each page and post

Is that bad?

How many would be considered sending a negative impression out?

I am wondering if there is way to receive my amazon commissions online rather than cheques (Checks). I live in Australia and it'd be very inconvenient if I received my cheques

Interesting to me, too, although Amazon doesn't owe me a lot yet.
Thanks Jovo, for naming this service, I will check it out

Welcome Heidi.

I am in EU and signed up for Payoneer. Next month there should be the first payment through this system.

I was instructed by Josh who is from Australia and who is using it for many months now. So this is your way to do the job.

Thanks mate

AWESOME, I WILL HAVE A LOOK AT THAT TOO XOXO CHEERS JOVO XOXO TO YOU AND YOURS

Kent you might think about direct deposit.

There is no direct deposit for Australia.

Cheques until they get their act together.

I live in Australia too. I've queried Amazon a number of times on this, but as of right now the only way they will pay someone in Australia is by cheque. Amazon never ever use Paypal and never will, as they consider it to be a competing company (think eBay). They say they will eventually start paying by wire transfer.

I write and sell eBooks on Amazon's Kindle platform, and for years the only way I got paid was by cheque. Eventually, at the start of 2014 they began paying overseas authors by wire transfer.

Why Amazon Associates payments can't be paid by wire transfer too, I don't know, as it's all the same company, just different departments.

It's the same thing when I sell print books through Amazon's CreateSpace platform. They pay by cheque still, yet can pay me via wire transfer for eBook sales.

I suppose Amazon don't like Aussies lol

Payoneer!

Are you sure Amazon accepts that?

You should email them with your question. They usually answer pretty fast.

Yes Amazon works with Payoneer.

Don't they do PayPal?

Nope

They might do payoneer though. Need to ask them

Well that's an idea... What about Solid Pay Trust or Payza???

Payoneer sounds like a likely choice since they provide an american bank account and you still get instant access to you cash with their prepaid card.

You are exactly right. You need an American address and bank account to get paid by Payoneer. Amazon certainly don't use Payza or any other. I think you can get paid via their Amazon card or whatever it's called, but not overseas.

The only options in their payment setup page are bank transfer, wire transfer and check. For Aussies, the only option available is check.

I know that amazon with do direct deposit to your bank.

not internationally.

I am not really sure. I know that has got to be a pain. Hopefully, you will get an answer soon.
