If you want any sort of ranking on a Google search, you have to have backlinks.

If you don't mind me asking, does your blog have any sort of twist or niche? I.e., it's specifically Southern USA cooking, Asian, Latin American? Is it foucused on baking, dinners, breakfast meals? Maybe on using a slow cooker, crockpot, freezer meal system, ect?

I ask this because having that kind of focus will make it somewhat easier to rank the site.

Also, have you used any sort of keyword planners to figure out search terms you want to target?

It's much easier to rank a site and get traffic when you have specific keywords you want. Like, you may want to rank for (these are just example keywords that I haven't actually looked into, just for the sake of the example) "easy slow cooker meals" or "30 Minute Baked Salmon with Cheese Sauce", rather than attempting to rank for "food blog" or "recipes".

Yes,

The focus is on providing easy to learn recipes with overhead short and to the point videos.
Its mainly Indian food,

I did a bit of research for keywords and we are preparing recipes based on the list.

I'm still not able to figure out why we don't get search traffic. My initial plan was to create these recipe posts, then improve the ones that get search traffic, but when none are showing any positive results, it tough to pick a few to work on, especially when you are working with limited resources.

You have to follow this steps for Organic traffic

1. Keyword Research
2. Competitor analysis
3. Quality Content
4. On-page optimize
5. HQ Backlink

I hope you will get more traffic if you do proper SEO of your site.

To rank on Google search results, you will need keywords; words that you hunk people are most likely to search for to find your content. For example, if you want to get a cat and you know nothing about cats, you most probably will be searching for "Things To Know About Cats". The keywords should appear a couple of times in your content. It shouldn't be too much though, else it will be seen as spam.
The second thing I'll be suggesting is backlinking. Without backlink, there won't be a ranking on Google search results. And not just any kind of backlink, but quality ones. It would be superb if they backlinks come from multiple domains.

To get traffic you need seo optimized articles, check out the link below.

If you are making videos then why don't you publish them in Youtube too by creating a channel?

A good idea would be to put a few of recipes into an Ebook and give it away for free but at the same time direct readers to visit your blog for new recipes. It would also be helpful to start an email list and write a weekly newsletter.

Hi Asiogroup,

1. The site is full of spam. If we do a site search in Google on a recipe page (site:foodtippr.com/tava-paneer-frankie/) below the indexed recipe page there are pages created by the images (I think) that link to spam pages for me. A spammy site rarely performs well in Google. I recommend a technical audit be done from a reputable tech SEO (not a surface scraper "audit") to identify and fix these sort of issues.
2. Any recipe site needs to take advantage of structured data to gain rich snippets in search results (review rating, cook time, calories etc) which studies show may increase organic CTR by 30%. Currently non of your recipes utilize Recipe schema.
3. Quality, relevant links are a MUST!

Cheers.

More social media engagement can bring more traffic to your site. And you can share your site with reddit this platform is great for get traffic.

Hi asiogroup,

Cool; I'm happy you're creating helpful content buddy and also, lesson learned on Facebook. Do most of your creating and connecting on your online real estate.

Google loves folks who create helpful content on their blogs and through a wide range of channels; especially through guest posting.

Build bonds with top food bloggers. Promote them freely. Comment genuinely on their blogs. Guest post invites will flow your way. After guest posting on a handful of top food blogs, you will nab some sweet backlink juice. More than that; the bonds you establish with top bloggers through genuine commenting and by generously promoting them leads to organic traffic through links in, cross-promotion and through other channels.

Quality backlinks are earned, organically, over months and years. Good things take time, and time spent offering generous service will definitely yield sweet things.

The solution for your question is very simple. You shall have to opt for Search Engine Optimization (SEO). You can opt for the following methodologies for the same:

• Post a pin on Pinterest
• Create Backlinks
• Opt for good Keyword Research and Planning
• On Page keyword listings and optimization

Hope you get the desired traffic by following the above mentioned steps.

You tube can be a great source of visitors. Just make videos of cooking and upload in your channel. Share the content.

Instead of YouTube, you must create high quality backlinks. Good luck

Here is the solution

1. Select your keywords.
2. Put seo optimized article.
3. Analyse your competitor.
4. Create high quality back links.
5. Build tired link building.
6. Share every post in social media.

My suggestions would be to promote your site on social media plus try to provide quality work with the quality back links so that you can have more and more traffic.

Backlinks could help out, but do it only on high PA/DA sites. You can use the MOZ toolbar, the free version would suffice. You can also try or work with influencers.

Content is the foundation to any good SEO campaign but you still require to promote your website.

Do it ethically with content marketing or press releases. Perhaps in your case, network and partner with other bloggers to guest blog on each other.

Importantly, you must also define your keywords. You can create great content but you ought to know your target audience and what keywords you're hoping to rank for (checking as well whether there are any search traffic for those keywords.) Much like you must know your goals.

Social Media Marketing is an effective methods to drive high traffic on your food blog.

Maybe it's time to hire someone who can help you generate traffic into your blog. One who has the experience and skills. You could try finding one at Onlinejobs.

You need to create more and more backlinks for get good traffic

When I visit your site, my browser tells me there's a certificate problem. See image. Might want to get that figured out.

Haha,
Google says you don't need links.

Google also says it's not a monopoly. Funny.

Look, you need backlinks. period. There are huge players in your niche.

There's a lot of ways you can go about this and there are some pretty advanced strategies.

I suggest you just build relationships and joint partnerships.

Your wife makes recipe videos right? Are they health-oriented?

Fitness bloggers would love for her to make content specifically for their audience. PRobably a quick snack that's high in protein or something like that.

You can literally sit down for a full day of making different snacks, edit the videos into short time-lapse blurbs. When you secure the gest post opportunity, just edit in a custom intro for their website and audience.

here's an example of how the videos could look: https://youtu.be/mgjk7HUg1y4

Do search engines optimization, To know about SEO search on the web and warrior also.

You need backlinks. Moz says your site has a really low score (1/100).

Also your site wasn't working when I checked (SSL issues). That's not gonna help.

Pinterest would be the best traffic source for this niche. You know, most of people go to Pinterest for recipes.

Do a little keyword research, share quality content and share your content on different social media platforms. Also, you could try influencer marketing.

Try to Change the Keyword of your Articles...use tools like Ahrefs or Semrush for keyword research.

First you need to decide what way you want to go with your business depending on your budget, profit goal and time-frame..

You can go up in rankings with some SEO on-site and off-site white-hat of course (guest-posting, pinterest, social media, etc) or you can go the other route building a list of potential customers in case you want to make your own product or promote other people's products. You can do both but it will take more time and bigger budget (first u put your site at the top in Google and then capture and monetize the traffic..

There are a lot of things you can do to get traffic but not limited to:
1. High-quality content,
2.Media Buys,
3. Socia media ads,
4. Pay Per Click ads,
5. Blog and social media commenting,
6. Guest posting,
7. Ezine traffic which is targeted and less expensive compared to solo ads.

Backlinks will definitely be essential if you want to rank higher in Google searches. Also, keyword research will be vital for understanding what your target audience is searching for. Guest posting is also a good idea since websites value high-quality contact. Continue building relationships with websites within the community and reach out to them about potential linking opportunities.

Try to target the audience who are searching your recipes. And for making the best-targeted blog you have to some sort of research in your category. Follow the blogs who are getting the rank in your category.

Explain the recipes in the easier way and make quality backlinks for your blog.

For social media use the hashtag for the targeted audience.

These tips are quite great and what I think that they must work in quite effective way for driving traffic to your food blog.

I guess you need to work upon your website's On-Page factors. Having a good content is no doubt a basic necessity but not the only necessity to rank. As suggested by some users above you should go for some keyword research and work upon your page titles and meta description. Also promote your page on social media.

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

To get traffic. You can try paid ads.

Get traffic using Fb ads, Instagram ads, google ads & YouTube ads

As someone has already said, you need a good backlicking strategy. Also, what is your presence on YouTube - do you have a presecene on the site with subscribers? Sorry if this has already been answered but it is sometimes much easier to rank for videos, especially Google-owned YouTube videos than websites.

Use the videos you record and cut to drive traffic to your site - post a link to your site in the description of every video and utilise content marketing that way.

I think you should do Off-page Seo & Social Media Marketing (SMM) for your food blog to drive traffic. SEO is the best Policy to drive traffic but nowadays social media platform is most popular and more traffic is here you can do camping here or organic marketing.

Ways to get good traffic to food website:
1. Take great photos of your recipes
2. Write impressive post titles
3. Incorporate SEO strategies
4. Submit your posts to recipe submission sites
5. Write good content

Try to get backlinks from some of the relate sites ,Make your blog with some interesting titles so that people will stay on blog for some time to exactly know what it is, and share your blog on some the websites which are particularly focusing on kitchen and Womens , get back links from these kind of sites.

For ranking on a Google search, you should have backlinks. Write the contents with keywords stuffed in it. Find the best keyword which people will search. Perform SEO activities like blogs, articles, bookmarking, image sharing.

We would recommend taking the RSS feed of the site and by using IFTTT you could feed multiple social media sites with your blog content. Also, make sure you have submitted your sitemap and your RSS feed to webmaster console.

I'd say instead of focusing on Organic traffic as of now, concentrate on referral traffic. Find food communities where you can share your videos/blog links etc. Reddit is one such platform. It has many food/recipe related sub-reddits which can generate a great stream of traffic is used properly.

Also, commenting on food blogs can also prove good. Social media can again be a great tool for increasing visits to a food blog.

Other than keywords research and onpage optimization, you can follow some techniques that most SEO Agencies use to rank food and recipes websites -
Guest Posting - Approach fellow bloggers in your niche and offer them a guest post. Ask them to provide a backlink to your blog in content or in Author bio.
Blog commenting - Visit fellow bloggers' websites and leave useful comments. It will create engagement with fellow bloggers and generate traffic with people who click your blog link.
Join recipe blog networks - Make sure to join food blog networks such as Yummly, Foodista.com, Nibbledish, FoodBloggers.net.
Forum Participation - Join forums for food blogs, recipes and food. Be active with helpful contributions and participate in the discussions on these forums. Add website link in your signature.
Create Content in other formats too - Create PPT, PDF, Images, Infographics and share them on document sharing sites such as SlideShare, Pinterest etc.
Social Signals - Generate social signals by sharing your content on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Google Plus.
Internal linking - Link other blog posts on your own site when creating new content. This will improve your SEO.

Go social and don't just rely on the blog.


Post your videos to Youtube, create an Instagram, use Pinterest. All good for food related content. Start growing audiences for free and direct them back to your blog to capture their details. Once you have details, you can email them and get them back to your site whenever you want to.


But I'd certainly focus on one social site, grow it, then move onto another.


Just my 2c

There are many ways to increase traffic of your blog or website but there is one most usable method which is submitting a guest post.


find a high authority food blogs and ask them to write a guest post for their blog post with High Quality Content. Content is King.


You can drive useful traffic to your blog by participating as a author to another blog.


Thanks

You don't make 100 visits per day that is a big problem for 50,000 likes Facebook.

I have a solution if you want.

You have to optimize keywords and optimize content and backlinks

You can promote your website and videos with SEO and adword.

Of course, paid traffic and SEO are the best tools. But they are very expensive now.

The traffic is much less but it costs a penny and this is the real people who are interested in certain information! You can register and try to check your keywords on the bid checker....

For getting traffic first you'll be needing to rank good for that keyword. And to rank for that keyword you'll be needing to do Keyword research for the niche you're trying to rank on. Search for the queries that people are commonly using and are most likely to use. After that you need to do a use these keywords to create content on your website. Good, informative and fresh content pieces that people would love to read. These content pieces should answer user queries.
Then you'll be needing some good backlinks from good authority sites in your niche. It's important because without backlinks it'll be very very difficult to get rankings in google.

The answer is interactive content marketing. The thought is to make content that simply is something beyond text and images. Interactive content is an experience. Visitors can engage with this content structure better. It gives them instant gratification without them submitting at any level. An ideal case of interactive content will be calculators and quizzes. They give customized results to the clients and thus their chances of being shared are higher.

Create an Instagram page. Everything else follows from there, but as a start you can post to Instagram whatever food you want. You might also want to create Instagram stories and have them sponsored.

Link Building and blog commenting help you to derive traffic to your website/blog.
