Hey guys I know I can use your help with all the knowledge that most of you on this board have. I just created a blog, I think I picked a very hard niche to sell. I picked a sport, soccer. Everything on that blog is in spanish, I type all my content up myself if it helps, I also tried using the rss but I just cant figure that out. Heres my blog. Just made a few changes to the layout after watching some videos on utube. So far no traffic at all, not one person. I just have some adsense set up but dont know what else to add to make some money. Can anybody please take a look at the layout and design and please give me some advice to make extra cash. Thanks in advance.

    Try posting links on other sites back to your site. Even in your signature file here (even though it is not targeted it will help your SEO).

    Submit some articles to an article directory and post in Soccer forums.

      Start writing some articles. I use ezine but there are others also.

      Find a few soccer communities and join. Post, answer questions, ask questions and see if you can add your link to your signature.

      Find some other soccer blogs and ask if you can do a three way link.

        Thanks for your post Joanne, I can probably do ezines in English but it would make sense right because I want targeted traffic, and english speakers wouldnt stay more than 10 seconds on my page after they see all the content is in spanish, any advice for that? I google for pages like ezines for spanish writers but didnt find any. Also what other way can I make money on my blog other than adsense? and whats a three way link?

    Links and articles are all good and will help.

    The fastest way to get traffic is to select some long tail keywords that with some research has a decent amount of searches per month. Create blog postings with that keyword in the title and a few times in the article.

    If it's a strong enough keyword, can you make a whole page on it? If so, link your blog posting to that page.

    Now do a youtube video on that same keyword and point it back to your blog. This does not even have to be your own video, but it should be relevant.

    Now is keyword research in Spanish available? I think that's that main question you need to find out. If so, you can have first page Google ranking in a few weeks at most.

    I usually place zero articles with no back links and regularly get 1st page ranking in short time using this method with correctly formatted blogs.

    I do not speak Spanish, but I took a look. Do you have the SEO all in one plug-in installed?

    I do not use Adsense. Perhaps someone else can tell you if it is hurting you. My thoughts are that being on the top that it is not doing you well there. I would put it in the sidebar. But I have no proof on that. I think diving right into the content is the best way.

    You also do not have many posts. You'll need more and each post should be keyword optimized. Also try getting more pages. It does not take a lot of pages. I do well with about 5 pages.

    I think you really need to do some digging to find out about Spanish keyword research.
