Ranking depends on many things. I think the main problem with your website (same as my new website) might be that is not old enough for google. They really do credit old websites seeing content flowing to it in long-term.

As I see you have 36 posts, this is hardly a ton of content. Make 10 times more. Though I did have a site that was making over $500/month with 35 posts, so you could expect some income, but there are no strict rules here, every case is different.

There are many reasons why this is not happening. Are your posts ranked (on the top pages in Google)? Do you target keywords which generate some traffic? Is your niche seasonal and you are in the bad season now? Are you targetting new products on the market? What is the actual traffic? What is the click rate?

If you give more info, you might get more insight into the situation and pinpoint the reasons.

Long tail keywords will typically bring only one or two visitors per day even if you are top ranked. A long tail keyword implies a small traffic, so you must have many posts.

Hey Richard,

You can use Google Search Console to check your website indexing status.

Reviews are a way to showcase your expertise in a particular subject. Youtube is full of reviews. When you create a review on your website, you are creating content. People want to see you as the expert but they also want your opinion on a product they might be thinking of buying. Think of a review as an endorsement from you the guru and the audience as your eager students who want to learn from the bank of your knowledge. Prove yourself by giving in-depth quality reviews and your customer lifetime value (CLV) will be beyond the current average.

It depends on what niche you're in and what products you're reviewing.

Personally, I review a ton of make money online programs and promote WA. The time spent in the beginning may not feel worth it because I wasn't seeing much results at first.

But it eventually gain traction and I'm now making a full time income just by writing product reviews. Today I don't even write myself. I've hired people to write for me.

reviewing others websites is a good thing but your first priority should be your own website and content creation. It depends on where you get your satisfaction - from helping others or from your own success. - Shirley

Hi RHoffmann1,
I would say to try and have a balance, but always remember why you join WA, to make money online, to have a passive income, to create a legacy of fund for you, and your future.
I have a schedule, I try to keep. Some days I answer questions, another day I give value comments for credits and the rest of the time is use to work on my website and articles for my blog and website. Yes, like you I am new to WA but I need, want to have that passive income, so I try to balance my time, which I don’t have much of ( two jobs in the real world, a family to care for and other items). What I would suggest is make a schedule try to stick to the plan and have your success!
By the way if you have a chance and can give me feedback back I would greatly appreciated, I have only written 4 articles. I see that you are a prolific writer and you subject are very good ones.
Again, very best and stick to the plan, that is what I am trying to do.
Very best,

Your primary objective here, has to be to make a profitable website. Some people have the idea that they want to be ranked as an ambassador. However, there is no advantage at all to being and ambassador. It is possible to be one without knowing anything about Internet marketing in terms of experience. My advice would be get the experience of being profitable under your belt and go from there
