Alright, I will. Thanks!

abdeiz:
This would never reach FP

Why?

Prec1ous:


You will have a hard time appearing above those e-commerce sites.

Google uses search intent to rank site too...

"jogging shoes" a buyer keyword is different form "how to clean your jogging shoes".

Stop competing against amazon and others.

Use "best" and "reviews" in your post to change the intent.

Also, backlink is king.

Thanks for your input, Prec1ous. I'm grateful.

Fred, do you completely agree with this?

Hello Magodoro

How many backlinks do you have from high PA and DA sites related to your niche?

Backlinks are actually the backbone of high ranking on Google. I think this is where you should aim your focus now.

You can have other SEO best practices nailed down but if you don't have enough backlinks you can't outrank more established sites in your niche.

Just writing articles and putting them up is never enough. In fact I will go as far as saying just writing articles is less than 5% of the job.

You must actively be promoting your site and hustling for backlinks.

You did say your PA and DA are higher than most of the sites outranking you, so my backlinks theory might be wrong.

If that's the case, it might be some sort of Google sandbox thing. Probably it's just going to take more time for you to naturally outrank them. Some say a year. You could actually have a better SEO game than many of these aged domains and still not outrank them until after a while.

I don't know if this sandbox thing exists or not. But the theory is quite popular.

To be honest Magodoro, it could be down to so many things in the end. I do this kind of audit daily and I still get amazed at what is holding back some of our clients' sites.

We had a client where after diagnosing what was wrong with his site and fixed it, he jumped about 9 pages in 2 days. It was a small fix we thought won't even move the needle much.

So I can't really say what could be wrong. But my best bet is probably not enough backlinks. Get more and you will surely see improvements.

The next best piece of advice I can give is always be experimenting. And make sure you track and measure this experiments. Cut out what isnt working and double down on what is.

Fred

Thanks for your response, Fred.

I picked a lot of things from your reply. I'll focus on getting more backlinks just as you've said. And I'll also experiment other things.

Hello Guys,

I will be doing an AMA (ask me any question) here on the thread on Sunday, 15th of October 2017.

If you have any niche site/SEO/personal/business related question keep them handy.

On that day I will be on my phone from 12pm-2pm.

To our continued success.

Fred.

Thanks a lot for this opportunity, bro. You've really been doing a great job here. Thanks and God bless.

My question...

I've this Amazon affiliate niche site I set up in March 2017.

The niche is 99% untapped by affiliate marketers and has thousands of monthly search ( I used Google keyword planner). The only result you get for almost all it's keywords are from ecommerce stores and sometimes, the manufacturers. I've yet to see any blog with a product review on the niche.

Presently, I've published 6 articles of 1200 — 2000 words long each. But I'm surprised that I still can't find my site on over 100 results when I do a Google search on the keywords.

But I'm sure the articles have all been indexed because my Yoast SEO plugin says so, and whenever I copy and paste any of my topics in Google search box, it appears in the search results.

To be sincere, just yesterday when I checked the stats, Google Analytics shows that I've had 11 users, 25 page views, and 4 organic searches in the past 30 days.

My major concern now is, why am I not appearing in search results?

Note: My DA and PA are higher than most of the (mostly ecommerce) websites that appear on the first page. I, however, noticed that they are aged. Some are up to 12 years old.
