One of the factors which helped me most out was avoiding the tendency to publish at regular irrespective of its necessity. If my blog post was not better than the posts which were already ranking, then i would use the time in improving the previous post or searching for a better angle. posting fewer articles but in a more compietitive manner fetched far more traffic than just meeting the weekly publishing goals.
Do you have good backlinks as well? If you and your competition have the same quality of content, then only backlinks will top the scale to your favor.
Yeah quite common, actually. Posting more does not always make much difference . i usually find that my results improve once i sort out my keyword targeting and get some gud backlinks.
Posting content consistently isn't a magic bullet that will bring you traffic. Moreover, in the AI era, it can be a signal that you are a spammer.
i had something like this happen to me too.the biggest thing was to stop the whole publish nd pray.instead i began to promote my helpful articles in appropriate forums, optimize pages that were being viewed but not clicked nd research less competitive subjects. the traffic came slowly but steadilly.
I have also experienced that although there were lots of posts on the website, there was very little content for google to index. Writing fewer but more focused articles and refreshing already indexed pages worked for me also .
