More learnings, and more time needed...

Well, I will just briefly break it to 2 updates

Not so good

  1. Zero conversion on Article Writing Service from Google Ads campaign after 7 days and 100 traffic a.k.a. <1% conversion rate
  2. Close to zero daily Organic Search traffic
  3. Realizing how very competitive a niche BT MIG is in

Somethings to celebrate

  1. CPC optimization, ads grouping and optimization are close to satisfactory. Conversion rates are primitive, bright side is early unit costs and economics are surfacing.
  2. Final sprint of Search Ads front done - i.e. further grouping and expansion to 3 other countries
  3. Also further conviction about how Organic Search works - that it's not level playing, and not everything is by the book. There is always an edge you can uncover.

I am surprised I am able to write more good than not...coz it sure felt like crap last week.

  1. 20 ads and >50 ad extension created fetching more micro-metrics/data to understand the market better.

  2. New blogpost published!

What's next?

  1. The long-haul - regular posts
  2. Guesting post, content collaboration, outreach
  3. Homepage flow
  4. Progressive read experiment - LMS module/@Salil script.

    Hey @bart86 -

    Thank you for sharing your progress.

    As you know I'm trying to get organic traffic going as well on ProsperCircle.org.

    And the painful answer is, it takes a long time. There are so many factors involved to optimize that it can feel overwhelming.

    I read somewhere, that even high-quality content can take up to 35 weeks to hit the first page of Google.

    And that makes sense. Google does not want to showcase new blog posts as they pop up. It wants to make sure the website and content have been around for a while.

    My only request to you would be to not give up or lose hope in 1 - 2 months.

    I've done this before and even now, it has taken me almost 4 months of focusing on SEO to start seeing some results.

    The beauty of doing SEO is that very few people stick through all the hard work but once you start ranking, it is hard for other folks to upstage you.

    So stay the course, my friend.

    Let me know if I can help.

      I was aware you were representing ProsperCircle.org, but just knew that you founded it! haha. I have discovered some interesting remote job listing there. Great work! @Salil and thanks for your kind words
