My Blog- One Word- Help

21 replies
Hi fellow WF,

I am four months into my Blog and although things are improving. Sadly, still no sales.

My Alexa rating has improved, write a few articles and not getting a massive amount of traffic, but trickles.

I am getting about 110-130 uniques per month. My mailing list has currently has 17 people.

Please advice.

Thanks!

    110-130 a Month is not going to get you any where? What Keyword are you aiming for? Search the keyword on Google keyword tool , it tells you how many searches their are for a month.

    https://adwords.google.co.uk/o/Targe...AS#search.none

    If you're in a keyword that hasn't got many searches maybe you should start to re think your keywords.

    For a blog that's a couple of months old you should be aiming for at least 100 pageviews a day. I'm sure the warriors will guide you through choosing a Keyword.

    Tell us your Domain & Keywords , that should help us to find your problem. It looks like you've missed out a basic mistake.

    Good Luck.

      I have been writing articles using that keyword tool. I am focusing on writing articles that have at least a 100 searches a month. For a 500 word article, I would ensure a keyword density of 1-1.5%.

      Is this something I should be doing?

    Kind of hard to offer a specific reply without seeing the blog... There could be a number of reasons why, including keywords as mentioned in the previous reply.

    If you were to provide your blog URL it would help. Can't comment on something when we don't know what it is...

      Keywords: free seduction blog

      Very poor choice of keywords. I just looked up "free seduction blog" on the google keywords tool and it turns out that only 880 people around the world search for "seduction blog" per month and 0 (nobody) searches for "free seduction blog" probably because blogs aren't supposed to cost money in the first place. This is a poor keyword because even if you do "seduction blog" whoever ranks first is taking about 400 - 500 of those searches per month that only leaves about 300 left. 300 visitors is what you are supposed to average per day in the top 3 ranks on the first page in google. Look for a keyword with at least 3k - 5k global searches

        yeah, okay, thanks. :rolleyes: Get past the title, because that's just a very small part of SEO and sales. The industry he is targeting is a huge money-maker (multi-million dollar/yr) and still extremely hot, although he is coming in at the tail end of it, imo; he's just not looking in the right places.

        And believe it or not, most people don't want to get their hands dirty with sleaze and the possible legal ramifications. And btw, if you know so much about the porn industry, why are you here? Aren't you rich already?

    Some initial thoughts:

    maybe try an additional monetization stream? adsense or similar? Help bring in some $ to start.

    keywords: "free seduction blog" are descriptive but, I'm not sure they are going to be the best search terms(if you're hoping for search eng results).

    If I wanted advice on how to get laid I'd google "how to get laid" "how to get women" "how to attract women" "free advice on women" etc.

    just my 2 cents,

    goodluck!

    If your blog isn't about a topic that people are interested in you will get minimal traffic. I recently stopped posting to a blog because I was getting trickles as well, so I started a blog that's in a hot niche and more traffic resulted.

    I don't think this has been said yet and this is only my personal opinion, but I don't really like the Wordpress theme. It does nothing for me, it's dark, it's boring, it's brown, it's hard to read - sorry, but I just don't like it at all.

    You can have Adsense on Wordpress, although not sure about their rules regarding your niche, you might want to check that.

    How much promotion are you doing? How many backlinks do you have?

    I agree with what was said above about having a more catchy title, especially in your meta tags to attract people looking for more popular keyword phrases.

    If you are promoting a product you could put a square banner or image at the top of your sidebar with something written underneath like "click here for a discount on xxxxx" and link that to your affiliate link.

    Just a few ideas that I thought of when looking at your blog

    Good luck!

      Ok- I will get to work on my Meta Tags.

      According to Alexa, I have 6 links but that is growing. I have written several articles, and done blog commenting as well. I haven't tapped into a mjor traffic source yet.

  • Technically, this doesn't have anything to do with your blog, but before I give a reply, I need to ask you ask you something, Player87.

    Did you just happen to find PP while searching PUA affiliates on the web, or are you a member of the forum, or are you actually part of the PP Inner Circle? I'm assuming since you are selling as an affiliate, you are not part of the Inner Circle.

    If you don't want to answer here, you can PM me.

    I am considering creating a free Blogger blog today. I will write ten articles, add adsense to it, and point to my Blog.

    Is this is a good idea?
