I went back and read all the pages and had a few questions.Thanks guys.
Started 2 more sites in the past month with 5 articles each.
This time everything was done right to the best of my power in terms of on- page seo.
I use ahrefs to find 20 low comp, common questions and they're implemented well in the body of my content.
My original site I realize was done very sloppily for content.
I will age them a month before I link web 2s, press release, and social signals.
I am confident I will hit 500 a month this year!
