My site failed and I don't know why

I opened a site about six months ago around the keyword "labrador training"
I did keyword research and opened a website in wordpress
I made on-site seo and built some backlinks (not much)
Somehow I do not see results. The site has only 20 visitors a day on average
What should I do to promote this site and get a lot more visitors? so I can make money from Google Adsense or Clickbank
maybe the keyword I chose is not good ?

  • the simplest way is just to buy the traffic...
    and you won't have to wait 6 months to know if your site is any good or not
  • Are you sliding in an optin form or doing something to get some of those 20 visitors a day on your email list?

    That's really what you should be doing to build a list so you can promote products to those people from ClickBank or elsewhere.

    Just give them a good freebie offer for their email. If it's about Labrador Retrievers, then search for some decent plr ebooks or articles that you can compile into an ebook about LR training or what have you.

    Create an autoresponder series with a variety of product promotions from ClickBank and then people who sign up will move through that series like a conveyor belt. Test what converts into sales and what doesn't, and go from there.

    Maybe you need to ignore "keywords" altogether, and come up with a non-SEO-based traffic generation plan?

    • What's with your vendetta against SEO lol.

  • there are some good business people on this forum that sell web site services like plugins and such, so note there are many gatekeepers. One suggestion is get amazon affiliate set up rather than adsense or clickbank. You can market anything with amazon from leashes to flea powder. Second is get ready to do some spamming, but be professional about it. Link to your site from youtube, social media, twitter, etc. Finally, join the club. My first site failed too due to a copyright / trademark infringement. Failure presents opportunities to learn going forward.

  • Your mistake was basing an entire site around a thin niche like Labrador training.

    Pets > Dogs > Labradors > Labrador training

    That's going too deep unless you want to run dozens or even hundreds of different websites (Pug training, Doberman training, Poodle training....).
  • It's not a vendetta. It's the voice of experience.

    For now, maybe? One algo. change and all your "work" is down the tubes.

    In my not so humble opinion, people who depend on SEO are fools.

    • So you're instead going to trust your traffic to other peoples blogs, aweber maybe, forums, and things that are not google?

      I'd put my last dollar on Google outlasting any other website.

      People who scare monger and talk about "algo changes" are just wimps. Why leave behind some of the best traffic on the entire Internet just because Google may change something in the future?

      It's the people who dont take the time to learn SEO properly that get burned when there is any new kind of "algo change"

      Take some time to learn how SEO should really be done, and you wont be burned next time you buy an awesome $47 a month ranking service from some dude somewhere. They are probably just reselling you Fiverr Gigs anyway.
    • Brent,

      I very much understand your opinion. And I must say under normal circumstances it is not only valid, but extremely valid.

      Let me share some of my SEO philosophy with you and every one else. Getting listed on ANY search engine is your page; Its text, its images, its links, its back links, its programming structure ( the behind the scenes html stuff ) its tags.. all of that and more and how it fits into the "Algo" When it comes right down to it, its straight up math.

      Lets just take 1 variable as an example, "Images". We all know Google likes mixed content. ( again this is all just an example and the numbers given as examples and may not represent what an Algo may or may not want ) So Mixed content you decide to place 2 images within your page. Google bot comes to your site and says "Hey there is an image +1 points. There is a second image +1 points". But say you put a third image in there, and Google might say "ooo 3 images -1 point"

      There is always THAT line that can be crossed. Knowing where THAT line is, in of it self is a bit of a mystery ( we can not see the algo first hand to figure that out ) So with all the many variable at play ( the ones that I listed above: links, text, images etc ) FOOLS like myself, set variables and manipulate others to determine the breaking point. ( remember, I do this as my primary income )

      What a FOOL such as myself ends up with is a "PASSING" set of variable max limits. Having that kind of understanding, puts SEO at a different level. I am no longer GUESSING, I am following an exact formula that creates success.

      Lets talk for a moment about all those gosh blessed algorithm changes. Let me just say that I have not been smacked by a algo change in years. They only help a FOOL such as myself. If you have been hit by a algo change that stopped keyword stuffing, thin / poor content, bad back linking, or duplicate content WHO IS THE FOOL?

      lets use Google for Business' most recent update as an example. Many people got smacked by this one. They felt they did everything right. They had a great many citations. They had a large amount of reviews, ALL of their reviews were positive. etc etc. These people set them selves up to be an EXCEPTION. What happens in math if you are working an equation? You tend to disregard EXCEPTIONS as invalid.

      What does a algorithm change do? It disregards those listings that are mathematically deemed INVALID.

      So back to the method of SEO that this now non fool follows... I laid it out for you... I do NOT go into the land of exceptions. I follow best practices to the T. I have and do test daily, the boundaries of what is "PASSING". Nothing more and nothing less. I DO NOT exceed "PASSING" and nor should you.

      The difference between someone that does SEO and a SEO specialist is right there. There are those of us that have been in this game since the beginning as in the early 90's. for me personally it was 1993. I sold my first "Startup" in 1995, and made my first big money from selling another start up in 1999. I have been using the same method laid out on this thread since 1997, and it still freaking works today.

      You can take all of this for what you want, im just sharing what I know. You are complaining about your own personal bad experience. Dare I get a bit deep here and suggest that the time continuum has multiple threads. Just because you experience something does not means that I am going to experience the same thing.
  • You need to build more links and you need to work on social media outreach and branding more. Put in more time into your business. Seriously.
