id check the audience retention graphs first to see where people stop watching. if viewers leave when the product promotion starts, try making those parts shorter and keeping the travel story as the main focus. also test different titles and thumbnails to bring people back.

id focus on improving the tour pages first. add clear prices, real photos, what's included and an easy booking button. people might visit your site but leave if they cant quickly understand the offer or how to book.

tbh, relevance matters more than just high DR these days. id rather have a link from a smaller site in the same niche than a random site with big numbers. traffic, placement and whether the link makes sense for readers all matter too.

tbh, paid views don't always turn into regular viewers. i'd look at watch time and returning viewers, not just the number of subscribers you gain. promoting can get your videos in front of more people, but the content still needs to keep them interested imo.

the reading time part is interesting tbh. it makes sense to focus on posts people actually stop and read instead of chasing clicks. i'd also avoid posting the same kind of replies everywhere. a bit of genuine interaction can go a long way imo.

ngl, AI is making it easier to pump out content, but TikTok is getting crowded with similar videos. imo, the ones that still stand out are the videos with original ideas and a personal touch. just posting more doesn't always mean better reach.

for me, pumping out AI articles just to target more keywords is what i'd avoid. you can publish loads of content that way, but if every page says the same thing, it probably wont bring much traffic in the long run. adding something useful makes a difference imo.

honestly, i'd start with Instagram and TikTok. post short videos showing your products in use, not just product pictures. see what people respond to and keep doing more of that. also, make sure your website link is easy to find on both profiles.

try Google search with date filters and site searches like site:tiktok.com or site:instagram.com. you can also search specific keywords with older date ranges. sometimes Google finds videos that get buried in the apps' own search results.

I usually look at the retention graph first. If people are leaving in the first 30 seconds, something in the intro probably isn't working. I'd check that part and see what I can change in the next video. CTR matters too, but clicks don't mean much if viewers leave straight away.

I wouldn't rely only on product tags. Someone looking for a mug might search for a birthday gift or something for coffee lovers instead. Those Pinterest suggestions can give you ideas about what people actually type into the search bar.

Pinterest is still worth trying, especially for niches like home decor, recipes and fashion. One thing I'd watch is outbound clicks, not just impressions. A Pin getting 10,000 views means little for website traffic if hardly anyone clicks through to your site.
