A few days ago i asked a question , it was about promoting an affiliate. My website wasn't doing so well, i could not figure out how much traffic I had, no sales with Amazon either, no sales for my affiliate. My site health was good in content, comments, but the trust was 40 and I understood it takes time to build that trust.

Robert A answered my question he looked at my site to find the traffic and then he asked a big question: What were you thinking Marion? The keywords you use have way too much competition and you didn't use any keywords in your posts! this way youy'll never get ranked

O my goodness, i did my lessons on keywords but not well enough apparently. The competition of my words was way to high, I was never ever to get any traffic with those. so my assignment was to find keywords under 10, with traffic.

Now I transferred my whole website to a siterubix domain, another adventure, export, import, being nervous if it's working. Now I'll rewrite my posts around a keyword and i have a new url and a new title. It is much work but you know, I'm so glad I learned why my website didn't work and I see this as a huge learning proces.. I didn't know anything about websites until I came with WA and I learn everyday. Also there is such huge knowledge in this community, I am so amazed by that and thank you so much Robert A for taking your time for me. Truly grateful.
