Fellow Warriors! I NEED HELP

by blackout17
11 replies
Right dramatic title I know but I do need some help. My website which is on the signature below is struggling, I used to make a very low amount of £10.00 per month for the past 2 months. However my searches have dropped and so has my traffic without changing any methods.

My website has some good quality articles on it submitted by a number of different people but just nothing is working to increase my rankings on Google.

I have over 2,500 back-links with Google showing on my webmastertools panel. With a PR 1 ranking. I use Qondio to create articles, Tumblr for SEO back-linking as well as forums etc.

Does anyone have any cheap/free methods to increase my searches to the website, like some WSO's or any experts with wordpress to help me. I struggle to get 20-30 search hits per day now when it used to be alot higher than this! HELP

Thanks

    I have had a social networking site PR1 for 9 months then one day i wasnt even on the first page however all the videos and members were scattered around the first page. If this just happened wait a couple of days maybe a week and it should come back mine did and i didnt do a thing. If it doesnt come back then start with your keywords. Hope that helps a little.

    The keywords for your title seem too specific, and it's pretty long. Not many people type in "leave the life of drugs/addiction today" in Google.

    For starters your subtitle under your title of "My Route To Help" was unreadable because the dark font blends in with the black background. Change the font color to white or some other lighter color so people can read it.

    Secondly, it took me about 12 seconds to figure out what your website was about, that's about twice the time it should take. After 6 seconds visitors leave if something doesn't catch their interest. In some studies it's been as low as 3 seconds.

    Though it's a pretty nice blog, what would you say your main Unique Selling Proposition is? I'm trying to understand how the "Latest Drug News" leads to anything that leads to sales / marketing funnel that can be monetized. When I look at your blog, I get the impression of a somewhat organized chaos.

    As far as "good, quality articles" how many are we talking about? Do you drip them over time? Do you submit them to your blog first, wait for them to get indexed, and then use them or submit them elsewhere? What "methods" are you using to get this traffic?

    Hello,

    You may wish to enhance your on-page and off-page SEO efforts through the use of video. If you don't already have one, you could also create a Facebook Fan Page for your site and attempt to drive traffic to the site through the fans that you attract. The layout is also quite "busy", with several on-page events vying for my attention.

    Other than ensuring that your SEO efforts are targeting the appropriate keywords for your site, I'm certain you can find several WSO's in the WSO forum section that address "traffic" and Google top page results....

    Good luck.

    Hi Blackout17...

    I agree with some of what has already been said. I think the page is too busy. I would consider going to a two column rather than the 3 you are using. Also you have two sign up forms right next to each other which may be confusing. I would separate them.

    Most of the article are really good! But I checked out some of your other pages and you may want to re-check some of your info. Some of the myths are a little in-accurate I think (former drug and alcohol counselor background). I would check out some more sources of info. such as DSM-5 and gather some more info on actual treatment methods.

    I'm guessing the income your generating is through adsense? I saw a few ads on your pages but I didn't see any other products.

    One last thing, I agree with who ever suggested doing some more work with your seo. Your meta tags and title tags could use some work.

    Good luck and keep us posted!

    Nav is broken in Chrome.

    You should probably have some sort of introductory block for first-time visitors, even if you do some form of cookie.

    Replace the prominence of the twitter feed with your own forum.

    No social share buttons?

    None of your category pages have meta descriptions - you're using Yoast WordPress SEO plugin so you can add them.

    No subscribe by email - think about moving to Feedburner!

    Work on your tweet karma - promote and retweet others.

    Where's the headline on your website? How does it help people to leave the life of drugs and addiction? What are you currently doing to get traffic to your site? Do you submit to article directories? Youtube? Twitter? Social Media Networks? Email marketing? Press releases? Blogging?

    There's tons of ways to increase your website visits... elaborate on what you're doing to get traffic to your site now besides SEO.
