There's your answer then! If your articles have been on your site for only 2 months you won't get much traffic at all from them. You need to check your on and off-page SEO and make sure your Analytics account(s) are functioning correctly. You're simply expecting too much too soon mate. Just be patient. You also need to make sure that your keyword research has been done correctly. Good Luck!

Are you targeting specific keywords? If yes then do they have some amount of search volume?
You can have the best writers and post the best content but if you don't target any specific keywords you can never rank or you will rank for keywords which nobody search. In both cases, you won't receive any organic traffic.

If its not indexed it could have 1000s of articles and still have no traffic.
Check your webmaster tools or install it if you don't have it yet.

Actually, it’s not that complicated.
Check these on your successful competitors:

Reading your posts, I am not sure if your English is good enough. Maybe you can't write content that will rank in 2019 and beyond...
Sorry to say that, but I prefer to be honest.
Focus on the basics first--and that's the actual quality of the articles. All other info/suggestions offered here are of secondary importance, and it makes no sense to address it unless you have the quality issue sorted out.

Ok, now I saw the thread through which I earlier commented on the writer question you had. Pretty simple
- Content is total fluff has 0 substance. It's like if I wrote about pants... Pants are great. They have them in different lengths and colors, one can choose from many of them and always find something suitable.
See how boring that was?
Your issue is (well some of them, that are very obvious)
- A cheap writer that scores on a non-saying test about spelling/grammar
- Your proofreader likely is similar to the writer, thus none of the awkward writing is caught. For that, you can literally use Grammarly and it will result in the same...

Millions of people thinking same as you and they're far away from Top SERP.
Probably you already heard it on Neil Patel blog

I highlighted your problem. 300-400 words won't get anyone's attention, especially Googles. Not sure you can write a quality and thorough article on anything in 300-400 words. You surely can not get enough keywords, LSI, and longtail keywords in that short of a post. Your site is the perfect example of why quality over quantity is needed to rank and get traffic.
Look at the content of your competition. See how long and thorough the content is and then write a post that is more thorough than the competition. It does not necessarily have to be longer just better. Do not focus on content length because when you do, you will start filling the content with fluff to hit a word count. This is one of my biggest complaints about hiring a writer and telling them to give me 1,500 words on this topic. But in most cases, it will be long so you can cover the topic more in-depth than anyone else. Provide links out to valuable resources, both on your site and on other websites (not direct competitors). All these things will help you rank better and answer searches.

Without much information about your website, these are some of the reasons why your
CHEERS!
- Your website On-Page SEO - Check factors like page loading speed, mobile optimization, meta descriptions, titles, H tags, image alt tags, keyword density, anchor texts, etc.
- You´re targeting the wrong keywords
- Shitty content - And as you stated, publishing articles with 300-400 words isn´t going to get you anywhere. Personally, I wouldn´t publish anything below 1,000 words tbh and you need to have a couple of "monster" articles. Something above 5k+ words to use them as anchors to boost other smaller articles through effective interlinking.
- You need to give link building some space on your SEO schedule.
- Make sure your article´s headlines are "click-worthy".
- Check your website´s UX (User Experience)
- Does your website have any social media presence?
- Make sure you´re not penalized!
CHEERS!

Is there a silo structure? At 600 articles, I can imagine a helluva silo restructuring work is needed if you have not....

I would not say I am doing too bad...
Many people here write about shitty content on TOP positions in SERP. But nobody ever shows an example. That's because in serious and competitive niches you can't rank with such content. Not in 2019.
If OP follow suggestions from this thread (such as building links, optimizing site speed, UX, etc), he will spend a lot of time and resources for nothing. He first needs to take care of the quality of content. Just then it makes sense to do anything else for his "authority" website.

You repeating only the myths created by Brian Dean, for example please check the phrases:
- online dating
- adult dating
In Google SERP is tons of such examples, but the blind do not see them.
So I am surprised that you still believe in myths.
Also those myths not existing in Google ranking and patents.
Cheers, Greg.

Everyone can write articles. Is there some research done? How are the competitors in that nieche?
Just plain text without anything to it can not attract a single visitor, neither google.
What are your rankings.
After that we can start to discuss a bit more.

You need longer content with Images and CTA buttons. So people can do engage with your content.
OP sent me the site and ill just comment here without disclosing the URL
- Only see 111 Keywords ranked on SEMRUsh US
- Over 1300 indexed pages
As I think everybody has told you here already, the content quality is just horrible. Even your "return policy" in each product section says nothing...
My take on it
- Sure you need links, but this is not a vertical as porn, dating etc where ranking #1means almost guaranteed profits...
- Your store is too broad trying to sell everything, and nothing special. Even when ranking for more keywords etc I do not see you getting many conversions with this kind of content.
- Would you buy with hese descriptions?
You need
- Quality content with proper keyword research
- You will need links if you want to rank for all the competitive verticals such as beauty etc.. unless of course you find low search/low comp keywords
- And the recently bought overlay in the corner.... I know it's just in hopes of showing activity and getting people to buy but names and locations should make more sense than "From Oslo Ronda bought..." and I am pretty certain no one will buy a lipstick for $19 from China from Barcelona, when they can just go to Zara etc and get it cheaper locally from a brand.
- Focus. If you were to focus on sub niche and produce great content and links it would be easier than trying to rank for clothing, makeup, art...
etc.... I'd move on if this was my store or focus on social IF you can get some hot products vs. just trying to cover everything...
