What am I doing wrong?

I guess such a question is posted many times by some newbies here, but I really cannot find out what I am doing wrong. Basically I am running a website selling design, PPC, html, wordpress consulting services, etc. Also I am ofering other people's services via the platform. I have quite high conversion rates, the problem is that I cannot really generate enough traffic.

I invested a lot of time and work into SEO and have around 60 good quality, original articles, all SEO optimised with keywords, titles, images and all that stuff.
I have a PR=3 and running the site for nearly a year now. The organic traffic is 1-2 vistis a day only, sometimes even less and never more than 15. Recently I started to post on company blog every day, but no improvement. Also, I am not blocked on google.

I am in a dead end, PPC is not really an alternative because of very expansive keywords for things related to online marketing, design, etc.

What works for me quite well is blog commenting, etc but that's not really scalable.

Is it normal from SEO perspective? What should I do to generate at least 30 organic searches a day - seems like posting more articles doesnt really work.
Getting more backlinks? - got around 100 so far.

Any advice appreciated.

    All the articles in the world won't help you if you're not ranking. How are you ranking for your main keywords?

    I write articles with my main keywords included. For me it is difficult to choose one phrase, because the services I offer are quite different from each other.

    Try to restructure your Adwords campaigns. Get higher QS and you won't be paying that much. Good thing that also works is BingAds.

    To get a good flow of article traffic you will need to write about 5 a day. You will need to do this for about 60 days before you see a mass change in traffic.

    There are tons of ways to generate traffic. But since you already have customers coming in daily I suggest you focus on making more money from there, and then using that money for advertizing purposes.

    Example, Mcdonalds sells you 1 burger at cost. But then you buy 1 drink, and 1 package of fries for 25% profit. All in all u buy one meal, but you give McDonalds 50% profit for each meal.

    First get your lead through the door, offer a cheap product, Burger, then upsell with a better product, fries and a drink, then you have a bigger budget. You can buy articles instead of write them, but ads on bigger websites. You can even pay someone to rank your website. More free time for yourself, and more money.
