however, i realised later that simply publishing content is different from publishing content that people are looking for. it was very evident to me that search intent trumps all.

my mistake was thinking that getting published was sufficient. tbh , i have received more visitors through distribution and updating my past winners rather than pursuing the newer postings.

for me the big lesson was stopping the publish nd pray approach. finding topics people are actually searching for before writing made a biger difference than pumping out more articles.

One hardest lesson was realizing that nt every strategy that works for someone else will work for me. testing and learning from my own data is much more useful.

Realising that increasing the content does not necessarily equate to increased traffic. it was a waste of my time writing more articles on how to improve on the previous content considering intent and structure were way more useful.

It was far much later in life that i realised that posting more is not necessarily going to solve a traffic issue clearly . In many cases 5 well placed pieces of content may performs better than over 30 other articles particularly if you are not sure about the ranking potential of ur website yet.
