What could be wrong?

Hello fellow members. I started my blogging journey almost a year ago. August 2018 to be precise and I read and practiced all SEO techniques I could possibly find online.

I was told it takes up to one year to start seeing results on your site because SEO takes time. That didn't discouraged me as I continued working on my site's on and off page SEO.

But what's bothering me now is that, almost a year in and still no result(s) to show for my efforts. I only average around 30 organic visitors daily which earns me nothing.

The problem now is what can I do to improve my condition. What solution/advice can you give me? Thanks for your time

What have you done to improve Seo?

Do you use any Seo tool too?

Do you use any social medias?

And may i know your niche?

First, you need to analyze your keywords.


What is your competition like?
How is your do follow/ noFollow backlink ratio?
Is your backlink profile diverse with multiple types of backlinks?
Is your content unique?
How fast are you indexing your content?
Do you crosspost your blog posts onto social media?

There is something you did wrong, maybe you targeted highly competitive keywords or you lack in link building skills. How much time did you put in that site?

I have tried to build more HQ backlinks because it seems my seo is weak in that area.

I use various seo tools even though, I mostly subscribed to free plans. Semrush, Alexa and ahrefs.

I use twitter, reddit and Facebook but I'm not getting followers or traffic from them. Just few times on Reddit before the mods take down my link.

It’s technology niche.

I put in almost all my time as I have enough free time and not resuming college until October/November.

I use Ubersuggest, Google trends and Keyword everywhere extension for my keyword research which gives me an insight into what keyword to write on and the ones to neglect. But everything seems to be going south.

If your current homepage URL is the website you talking about then you definitely chose wrong keywords. Just checked you are ranking only for a few keywords mostly below 200 monthly searches.
Plus your backlink profile is not strong enough that you can compete for keywords like Smartphone + Review.
You should try to change the niche, find something with lower competition and change backlink strategy, try to get more quality backlinks.

Yes my current homepage url is the site I'm talking about. I should change niche on my current site or change the niche entirely?

I think you should start a new website and focus on a totally different niche. Still, you may try to fix the current website, in this case, will need a big twist for your keyword research and link building strategy.
