How to solve traffic/monetization

I have:

- longtail 3 word keyword based domain

- broad search of kw (no quotes): I'm currently top three spots of google 1,130,000 results, sponsored results are full on right side and top of

- exact search (in quotes): I'm currently top four spots of google, 73,000 results, all sponsored results on top and side are full

Currently it's a blog with some original articles, has a twitter acct, submitted to some articles sites. That's it. And that it's keyword domain.

Traffic to the site is 0 per day. But google is prominently ranking it for it's main keyword.

Obviously I can't do much with 0 traffic, but it's good seeing it taking top 3 and top 4 spots for it's term...

Thinking of next steps to monetize/add traffic...

    Congrats on getting the top 3 to 4 listing on Google for your desires keyword. What I am a bit confused about is that you say you are not getting any traffic?? how could this be unless the keyword gets zero searches for the month, but I doubt that would be the case with the Google Ads being displayed.

    Do you have Google Ananlytics on your blog?

      yes I find this odd as well... I am thinking something may be up with my analytics javascript... I will have to test that out.


      I did install a template and inserted the GA code through that temlate's UI... I will try placing it directly in the template instead.
