I prefer manual internal linking because it gives more control over context and anchor text I usually link related articles naturally and make sure important pages aren’t buried too deep Plugins can help but I’d always review their suggestions before applying them
I wouldn’t chase a fast money niche For a beginner I’d pick a narrow topic you actually understand then target specific low competition keywords It’s easier to build useful content and gain traction that way
I’d focus much earlier on finding low competition topics with clear search intent I wasted time chasing broad keywords instead of building authority around a smaller niche first.That would be my biggest change
I’d check the average position first If the site is showing mostly on page 2 or lower low CTR is expected after that I’d review the title and meta description to see if they actually match the search intent
I still think backlinks are worth investing in but quality matters more than quantity relevant editorial links from sites in your niche can strengthen a good piece of content while random links usually add little value
From what I’ve seen relevance matters more than simply chasing high metrics a few solid niche relevant guest posts or editorial links can be more useful than a large number of random backlinks with high DR
If SFS is already working well I’d avoid replacing it and focus on adding a second channel gradually Paid social Reddit or creator collaborations could diversify traffic without putting the existing revenue at risk
I’d start with the basics from Google’s own documentation then learn by working on a small site SEO makes much more sense when you test keywords content links and technical changes yourself
For a new blog I usually wouldn’t expect meaningful organic traffic in the first few weeks Around 3 6 months seems more realistic if the content targets low competition keywords and the site is properly optimized
I still think expired domains have value when the history backlinks relevance and brand signals are clean But for long term SEO a fresh domain can sometimes be the safer and more sustainable choice
