I'm happy to report that I'm a survivor of the devastating results you have shown.
What I did was simple: I created more content, but I interlinked more deliberately.
I don't just interlink for no reason; I interlink based on a key principle that's proven to be a game-changer for my income.
What am I talking about? I'm talking about adopting a link strategy where I ensure that the page I'm linking to adds value to the page I'm linking from.
I don't randomly link internally, targeting keywords.
Flush that down the toilet.
I focus on the user.
Will the users benefit from this link? Will their knowledge be improved by the pages I'm linking them to?
If the answer is no, then I do not waste users' time.
I look for other content on my site.
Do you see how this works?
Do this repeatedly, create more content, focus on the user, link strategically, and eventually, things will work out.
Will it happen quickly? Of course not.
Is it absolutely necessary? You bet.
