Hello everyone, I have been blogging about my illness since December I think last year and I've done a lot of marketing with social media but I don't get a lot of visitors daily.

I have done so far

website
facebook
facebook meme page
twitter
instagram
pinterest for my memes
google+
made an app too

I blog once a week and do daily updates on my social media but there i don't want spam the groups I share my stuff in because some groups don't like it and can get me banned from them.

I was thinking about buying someone off fiverr to do my seo, do you think that would be a good idea? I did buy a gig for a video to drive people to the site and facebook page.

My site is can someone tell me what I need to change or do from what you see? also where do I start with seo? I have tried it when I first set up the blog like putting it on google etc but don't know if I did it right.

I also have done facebook adverts for my stuff, I did the boosting but then came across a youtube video about advert manager where you can be more specific in who you target. My last advert got 35 link clicks in five days for £5.85 and reached over 2000 people, even though I set my budget to £5.00 daily (I know it is not much but it's a start)

        Ok, I guess that's actually a niche (dialysis clothing).

        Social is fine for an alternative traffic source but it will not rank pages, so forget that as far as SEO goes.

        SEO boils down to 2 core things, followed links and plain text, both can be optimized to rank pages on Google SERPs.

        What's the URL for your website?

    I see out of 81 pages on your site 64 are Tag pages. I would change that because you need all those internal links and keyword anchor-text to help rank full content pages instead of snippets.

    I don't see any backlinks for your site. You'll need followed backlinks to rank pages. Preferably relevant links on other domain pages.

  • You need to perform some of the Directory submission and Guest Posting to create some more qualitative back links for your domain. It will effect directly on your website SERP's and improve your website keywords ranking as well.
