HI, my name is Chris and I have been at IM for a while but you can say I am still a newbie here.

My problem is that my self development niche site (ASecretForYou.com) has NO SEO!

I use ALL IN ONE SEO PACK from WORDPRESS for my SEO needs.

It just ranks on the 80th something position for the term "A SECRET FOR YOU"

and nothing on other keywords I wish to rank for! NOTHING, NADA, nowhere to bee seen.

I have only original content, it is social friendly, I write HIGH QUALITY articles for backlinks on StreetArticles and more.

Anybody got ideas on how to improve it?

I only get about 10-15 unique visitors a day when I go hard promoting it on Twitter & Facebook and I get clicks on my ads making me little cents. I can only imagine what I can make with a few more visitors coming in trough proper SEO.

Please help me!

Many thanks in advance!

  • Have you tried article marketing? Create quality content that is relevant to your site and submit it to article directories and sites like Hubpages and Squidoo. Self development articles are very popular and can attract thousands of hits. Join niche specific forums, answer people's questions, and help them find solutions to their problems. Include a link in your signature. Post classified ads and include a call to action. Use Yahoo Answers and other Q & A sites to get qualified traffic to your website.

    Commenting is one of the best ways by which you can generate quality traffic on your website.Because good backlinks are much better than large number of low quality backlinks.

      I agree with your opinion, it's better to get a backlink to comment on the experience of using software that can hurt a website's own

    You're only doing onpage seo and writing quality unique content is only 50% of the onpage seo game + i'm going to assume your site has not more than 100 high quality content each targeting at least 3 keywords.

    If you have good content and high quality articles and they're still not making miracles for you, then it must be with your backlinks. Backlinks play a very important role in search engine optimization, and I have personally handled several sites that had the same problems your are facing now. If you have time visit my website (Just click my signature below) and read more about the experiences of some of my clients - I'm sure you'll find a couple or two with stories like yours. I also have my contact details there in case you wish to personally contact me for an advice or two about SEO.

    Lots of people on here will recommend things such as Forum Profiles, Social Bookmarking, RSS Feeds, Article Directory, Social Network. Others will have a more unique approach and not reveal their 'secrets' I suggest you try something that works for you. To test this i would personally make an article for something like GoArticles as a sort of sales page which some ads or clickbank products, create 5-10 of these all 100% unique and all 100% different (can even be on different niches) then you have 10 different starts to test various different types of marketing and see what works for you, if you try something and it fails then you have not effected your site at all

    There is both off page & on page seo. Blog commenting, forums posting, sbm, directory & article submissions are best sources of getting quality backlinks for your site.

    Check your keywords and make sure they are relevant and actually are contained in your site. Avoid keywords stuffing.
    Use text instead of images in your content, links and important subjects.
    Make your TITLE and ALT tags descriptive, simple and keyword rich. Avoid irrelevant and repeated keywords.
    Title tag should be 60-80 characters maximum length.
    Meta tag description should be 160-180 characters including spaces.

    You could try noindex your category and tag pages + only show snippets of the posts at the front page.

    It is hard to really suggest any linkbuilding these days with Penguin but you could also try "befriend" some known bloggers or similar and make guest posts.

    Hello!

    You can try promoting your write-ups using commenting. You can comment on other posts and be sure to always leave a link. Comment on popular write-ups so a lot of people can see it. You should also do interesting blogs and be sure that your site is easily accessible.

    Best of Luck.

    You haven't got nearly enough content on your site, add another 250 pages and then you will be a small website, you need another 1000 pages. Write them like you have but use a keyword tool and target longtails in the body and title of your articles..

    Evertyime you post, build a few backlinks to the page and move onto the next one and every week build 5/10 good quality links to your homepage.
