Hi - website trust is based solely on the age of your site. It goes up automatically by 10% each month. So, I'm assuming your website is 9 to 10 months old.
Traffic usually starts to pick up around the six months stage, by which time you would have 40 to 50 posts. This shows Google that you are becoming an authority on your subject.
Perhaps you should ask for feedback on your website to see if there is anything extra that you could be doing to attract traffic.
Hi - realistically, 30 posts in10 months is not a lot of content. I suggest you concentrate on adding lots of high quality posts, ideally 2 or 3 times per week, at a minimum of 1000 words each.
You could perhaps go back over some of the training, to ensure that you are researching and using keywords correctly.
I agree with Jeff , build your content first. I'd read as much training as possible on Ad writing before using it. Take it from an old marketing man, the presentation and wording of the Ad can make all the difference. Jim
Hey Tommy
If you take out your Google ad traffic - what kind of traffic levels are you getting according to your Google Analytics?
Is your traffic going across the board or are particular posts getting the lion's share?
If there are posts that attract more eyes then you need to crank out more content along those lines.
Are your posts gaining positions on Google search results? I've heard from sources outside WA that it can take Google 8-12 months to start to trust our sites enough that it starts to bring our posts to the front page.
Hang in there, keep doing what you're doing and the traffic will grow and the money will come.

Paying for Google ads can be profitable but you have to know the lifetime customer value, average order value, and conversion rate, and stay loyal to those numbers. You want to know how much you can spend to acquire a customer with each offer before you’re going in the hole.
If you’re sending traffic to your website, and it’s not converting a sale, then you want to consider: (1) Are you bidding on the right keywords to send relevant traffic? (2) How much traffic are you sending? Is it enough with the avg. conversion rate of your offer? (3) Is your ad copy and landing page copy speaking clearly enough about the problems that are solved by your offer?
That’s where I’d start. There so much that goes into online sales, it’s best to learn and master it with organic traffic or you can spend lots to figure it all out.
You can’t get good at this without committing and trying until it works. It definitely works, but you have to give yourself time to learn the processes, build the habits, and hone the skills.
My website is christian based and sometimes I think that maybe I should try something different
