Tweaked, re-keyworded & re-keyword densified - still <10 visitors!

[Striving Martin]

Hello Everyone,
I'm new here, and given my web marketing performance clearly have a lot to learn... but I intend doing my best to help others- but at present I desperately need your help!

For almost a year I have tweaked, massaged, re-keyworded and re-keyword densified(!) my site until I am blue in the face - but still get less than 10 visitors a day! The site helps people find good value pub meals ("meal deals") in the UK. I think it must be my keywords that are badly chosen.

I have:
pub meal: 22,200 Local (UK) Searches - KEI: 0.84
meal deals: 53,100 Local (UK) Searches - KEI: 0.82

where KEI=(Daily searches squared)/(No. of Google Search Results)

So I like to optimise for 'pub meal deals'.

The above is for the Home Page. The majority of the pages are for individual towns (which are easier to get higher rankings but have <600 UK searches a month).

The (very) few visitors I get arrive via obscure keyphrases ("justice mill aberdeen steak night").

I am running out of ideas- seems like my every attempt at SEO has negligable effect.

Any advice would be very gratefuly recieved.

I think you already have the answer in front of you.

Look at your incoming broad search traffic/keywords, example, "justice mill aberdeen steak night".

Replace the business name & create a new page on your site, with keyword anchor-text internal/external links pointing at the new page.

• "justice mill aberdeen steak night"
• "business-2 steak night"
• "business-3 steak night"
• "business-4 steak night"

Repeat with more keywords that already deliver traffic:

• "justice mill aberdeen curry night"
• "business-2 curry night"
• "business-3 curry night"
• "business-4 curry night"

I would go to each pub website & look at their menus for keywords + their daily/weekly specials.

People have favorite pubs & know what they like to eat/drink, they just might not remember the actual day that the pub might have a special steak night (keyword night).

Unless you want to rank for a single keyword, then just create a single page.

Seriously, Google isn't going to assume that the steak night page wants to rank for curry night, why would they?

I think I've seen OPs page when I searched Google UK for his keyword justice mill aberdeen steak night, If that #1 page in the SERPs is his site, it's not much text.

If keyword X brings in $1 per day, is $365 a year from today worth your time to create a new page per keyword, it's maybe 1-2 hours of work (content/backlinks) per page/keyword?
