When to Move On?

[nicnicstew]

75 ranking keywords for 20.000 words of content seems a bit low for me. Especially if you've already pointed links to your pages. Are you only focusing on one keyword in each article or do you use relevant terms and phrases too?

I have some fluff content on the website which doesn't exactly target any KWs. It's mainly there to make the website appear more authoritative and less spammy. My pillar article, which is about 3,000 words mainly targets my main KW. Next, I have 5 "best product" articles, each ranging from 1,300-,1,500 words a piece (Obviously, these articles discuss 4-5 products on average). These articles target one KW a piece, although many of them are ranking for several long-tail KWs as well. Finally, I have several individual product reviews. These articles tend to be 1,000 words in length and target one KW as well.

When I have an article written, I am more concerned with quality. Of course, I always have a KW in mind as well. I am of belief if you provide golden content, the traffic will find you.

Not all projects work out, and some of the worst advice to give someone is "Be more motivated! Throw more money into the pit! Eventually it will work" because that's not always the case. This isn't some magical fairyland where if you wish hard enough and work hard enough, a particular project will come through. It's hard to know when to walk away, especially if you've put up a significant investment.

Personally, I give myself 6 months to see results on a given project. It may not be the most profitable results, but I have to see a significant amount of potential to continue.

EXACTLY

I couldnt even tell you how many times iv failed and how much money I spent untill I finally got my YT to get me some passive income?

But sometimes you have to let-go even though you wasted time and money otherwise instead of moving on and focusing your energy on a new venture that can really make you money, you will just keep losing money.

Thats why everything starts with the idea and the planning before you execute.

TR said it in a beautiful way that really made an impact on me :

"If you start running east looking for a sunset, I don’t care how motivated you are, or how fast you run, it’s not going to work. You need a better strategy.”

I just watched a sketch from George Carlin on the English language and this thread title made me laugh!

"When to move on?"

What do you mean when? Is there ever an exact moment to move on? Lets say you wanted to move on after you read this sentence... And you missed it! Now what you' re going to do?..

Just handle your shit and move the fuck on!

Love that quote.

I see you point about moving on to what could be a more profitable venture, but I don't want to move on quite yet. I feel I have a lot of value with this website currently. At this point, I am planning to consult with several SEO experts and see what I am doing wrong, if anything. Perhaps it just needs more time? But, in the meantime, I plan to cut funding on this project until I have a more concrete strategy in place.

I can't tell you if you need to move on or not, only you should know.
But yes consulting an SEO expert (EXPERT being the keyword, avoid the "tai lopez" seo guys) is a very good idea.
