Ranking in a highly competitive niche?

Deleted member 977120 · Dec 10, 2019

So, just recently, I noticed a website of mine that I set up a while ago started gaining some traction. I posted some authority articles, along with a fair amount of fillers. It's a highly competitive niche, and I didn't think I'd ever get traffic for that.

However, I got this just recently:

Now I get 5~10 users daily, all organic.
Do you think I have a chance with this website?
Should I focus a little bit more on it, since it was set-and-forget?

Thanks!

Have you built any links at all?

try posting more good articles for low competition keywords, maybe even KGR

Just a link on steemit a while ago, nothing more.
Please, look at the rest of my comment and tell me if I should be building at this stage.

The website is almost 200 days old, has around 8 good articles (800~1200 words), and quite some fillers (unique but short content).

Links !

If you wont link you wont see results.

If you are scared and you wont link you also wont see results.

Take a `risk` and start linkbuilding.

In my experience thats how a site looks like when they have no backlinks and are going to no where.

Let me give you an example of how that trend will continue:

now look to a site with proper (average) backlinking:

Those are sites of mine, the first one exist because it receives traffic from other sources so i never did more that a couple backlinks (<20). The second its a site I started to backlink on october brand new on september.

Honestly the most important thing on SEO its backlinking

I haven't really got into link building as a regular activity. I've always relied on "good content" and gaining DA/PA naturally.
However, I'm currently messing around with Scrapebox (not auto posting features).
I analyze competitors through Ahrefs, and sometimes salvage some links... but I don't always prioritize this.

I'm 100% ready, though... trust me!

I kinda do. I worked with a client on a website that took us two years to get it to good standings. I wrote the content.

so I guess the search volume is low but competition is high.

The second site is looking great.
1. How many links are you building in how long?
2. Are you linking to the fastest promising pages first or how do you decide which pages get links first?
3. What position do your keywords index at and how many links does it take take to get them to top 5?

Quick question how many links you built on the first month
And those Links on the first moth were 100% Branded once, or with some Exact Anchor?
Thanks

I am sorry Im not allowed to disclose most of the info, but most of the info can be found on this forum guides.

Most of the links are usually branded 90%+ at the begin and only 2.0s, so of those, we build as most as we can in order to help the domain get out of the sandbox (more than 100 less than 300) and lots of social signals

Oh so 150 links on the first month on a new domain, isn't that a bit too much getting penalized from G?

I'm on the same stage here, mass scraping 2.0s at the moment Tumblrs mostly, and what about profile Links on high DA, PA trusted sites that are irrelevant to my niche, that still helps when we talking about "out of the sandbox process"?

Using long tail keywords & writing long post human readable articles will bring you lot more traffic than usual.

Longer posts means comprehensive guides and in-depth posts that sum up all the information your readers would be looking for in one place.

By targeting the right long-tail keywords, you not only drive highly relevant and targeted traffic from search engines, but you also give yourself a better chance to convert those visitors into customers.

You can also try using some pbn links from this black hat world forum marketplace where this will increase your rankings of the website in short time.

Build more links and add more content it’ll take quite a while

cham rox · Dec 11, 2019

Try to find some "low search volume" and "low competitive" long tail keywords in your niche and start posting articles on them.

Ranking in a highly competitive niche?
