Low Traffic, Quality Website

[ralchevd]

Hello Warriors! I am trying to achieve some goals with my "new" website, which is a blog for software reviews. But there seems to be a problem. Currently, my website unique visitors are around 100/day, and 70 of them come from AdWords.

The website has great onsite seo. The design and the content are both unique, they are not crappy, and they are interesting. The problem is that I cannot get REAL unique visitors, even the facebook page is not visited/liked.

What I did for this website?
Backlink building - I was trying to build QUALITY backlinks, which are dofollow. I have some, but even ALEXA doesn't show that they exist. For example - few ezinearticles backlinks, blog and forums backlinks.

Social media - mainly, my visitors came from facebook post shares.

Directory submission - the website is submitted to quality directories only.

The website opened at June, 2011.
Also I am earning about 0,50$/day with AdSense.

Do you have any ideas how to improve the traffic ?
I am sure that I have missed to mention many things about the website, so just ask me, I will be here available to answer.
Thank you!

Exchanging links with other websites is an integral part in increasing website traffic and advertising. According to my personal opinion, you should exchange links with websites with the same subject or industry under the same field as this will easily make a lot more traffic to your website and achieve sales effectiveness. You should also pay attention to factors such as age website, alexa ranking, google pagerank, etc. ... of the websites you exchange links. But to do this you need to have good relationships with other webmasters.

I always pay attention on the age / alexa rank and google pagerank of the other websites. I never post a link of my website on any spam website without PR and with really bad reputation.
Okay, thank you, I will read more about link exchanging.

Here comes my other question - as I don't have many readers, is it important to write many new articles at this time? Or one article / day is enough? Since there are very good articles.

Since it is a new website/blog, all you have to focus is making a great quality content. Google loves great quality content.

What is the age of your website?
Since your website is new, one needs to do more backlinking to get more traffic, as I myself am running a website which is quite new and i only notice change in traffic whenever i get few high pr backlinks.

So the most important thing to do is the backlinking if you want to increase your traffic. but one needs to be more patient while doing it as to see a significant change in traffic, one needs thousands of backlinks pointing toward a website.

As I said , the website is new and started in June 2011. I have some high pr backlinks, but I don't see any effect? And as I said, they are not even listed in Alexa ?

It's okay, more relevant quality content and more backlinks, thanks guys. I'll be waiting for more ideas and advices

As your website is new one so it needs quality links in order to show up. You need to do blog comments where recent topics are discussed.

Great quality content means interesting content. Writing a unique content is good, but if there's nothing interesting in it, don't expect a good number of traffic.

I don't see you mention about the keyword and the competitor strength.
Somehow, if you're building quality links to high competitor keywords, you might not be much welcome.

Alexa will not often update a site stats. So don't worry about what had not been shown.

I recommend you do some blog post and yeah... Ezine articles...

By "quality" content I mean unique, and also interesting content. It is not boring, even not for my targeted audience.

Keyword research - my main keyword is highly competitive. But I always include some long-tail keywords with low competition in my new posts. So what I try to achieve is a portal(highly competitive) with a lot of threads/posts (which are low competitive). And I am always building few backlinks for these posts. I guess its correct?

[ralchevd]

Sorry for double-posting, but I want to specify my question - my website keyword core (main keyword) is highly competitive, but I have a lot of branches with keywords that are not that highly competitive, but still have some searches (long-tail keywords with 1,000~10,000 searches). Is that a good plan to act with? Also, do I need a lot of backlinks for each long-tail keyword post, or its okay to link directly to my index page?
