Articles Not Ranking? What Is The Reason?

Hello guys!

I have a question related to blogging and ranking.

So since November 1 2020, I am writing many articles for my site (EVERYDAY!!). All are underserved topics or topics that no one has written before. I mostly get all my topics on quora questions and I am hundred percent sure that these artices I wrote are all low to medium competition. However, some of the articles I wrote last November 2020 until January 10 2021 are ranking and some are not. What could be the problem? I am targeting a low to medium comp keywords but still, some of my articles are not ranking.

My Articles' Stats:
- 1500 words minimum
- All are underserved topics
- Low comp topics

I have no issue with traffic because I get traffics from the articles that are ranking. However, the articles that are not ranking are 30 articles and all of that are low comp topics! That's a lot of traffic that I will lost!

So, BHW community, since you are the expert here, what can I do to rank these articles of mine? Aside from building backlinks (because I think backlinks are not improtant to rank these 30 underserved topics) What are the other ideas you have? Should I interlink? Should I resubmit my sitemap? What is the main problem?

Hoping for your kind answers

Do you see the pages indexed in google search console?

Yes but they are not ranking for the search keyword

Articles, links anything can be the reason

You can try Ahrefs AWT for tracking those keywords, its free, also check if those 30 articles already indexed on google.

For such type of site interlinking and onsite optimization is most important. If you have a lot of traffic as youy have said I think your site is trusted so just work on interlink and yours articles will get traffic also. Also you can look at soft like Surfer SEO etc for oppimizing them

Like I have said, I think backlinks are not the problem because these are underserved topics. Also, my other site has many underserved topics and all underserved topics on my other site are all ranking. However, on this site, most underserved topics are not ranking even though they are on-point, have many words, and focused on search intents.

Yeah I think Interlinking is the problem. Whenever I publish a new article, I often forgot to interlink with a keyword that is related on some of my articles on my site

FOLLOW UP QUESTION:

How long will google should rank my new articles? I started posted these articles between last Novemeber and December 2020. While some are posted during first of January. My site is out of sandbox because I am having organic traffics already.

Any answers?

Mate with questions of ''how long will X happen'' etc. i only get the idea you dont know enough about SEO. Go study and come back, sorry if that's a bit too harsh but its the truth.

Yeah I know it depends on many factors and I know how much months. What I am saying is that if I posted an article on my website, how long will it take for google to crawl it. For example: If I posted an article today on my site, how many days for google to fully crawl that article.

Sorry if my question sounds like an ignorant kid LMAO

For established websites couple of minutes. For you i guess 1-2 days.

Having a few ranked pages is always a good thing. You can try creating few guest posts and backlinks to the pages that you like to get more visitors. Work on a good backlink strategy to improve the standards of the website as an overall.

Try using pbns and see if it works for you

Having a little organic traffic doesn't mean your site is already out of the sandbox. It just means that your articles will not rank high.

In short, Google doesn't trust your site yet to rank it high.

Yeah I guess this is the answer

However, the site I am talking about (site 1) have been established 7 months ago (July 2020). My site 2 have been established last december 2020 only but all my articles in site 2 is almost all in page 1 (32 articles currently). Is this a google glitch? Or google just trust my site 2 more than my site 1? P.S I didn't do any link building on site 2 but on site 1 I did some link building
