Problem: No One Is Visiting Your Website

When I started my website, I thought, “I’ll write good content and people will come.”

But they didn’t.

I had zero traffic. I checked Google, and my pages were not showing up. I posted on social media, but only my friends liked it.

If you feel the same way, don’t worry — you’re not alone.

A big study from Ahrefs (a tool that tracks websites) says over 90% of websites get no traffic from Google. That means most websites are not found by people at all.

It may be because of one reason: They are not using the right SEO strategy.

Why Beginners Like Me (and Maybe You) Fail at SEO

I tried many things in the beginning. Maybe you did too:

• I installed SEO tools like Yoast or Rank Math.


• I added keywords to my blog post.


• I shared my post on Facebook and Twitter.

Still, no traffic. No results.

1. Wrong Keywords

I used big keywords like “fitness tips” or “how to make money.” These are popular, but they are very hard to rank for. Big websites already cover them.

I didn’t know I should use longer, less competitive keywords. These are easier to rank.

2. Wrong Type of Content

Sometimes I wrote a blog when people wanted a list. Or I wrote a story when they wanted a step-by-step guide.

If your blog doesn’t give people what they expect, Google will not rank it high.

3. No Backlinks, Slow Site, Bad Structure

I didn’t link between my posts. My website was slow. I didn’t know what “backlinks” were.

Google cares about these things. If your site is slow or not trusted, it may not rank well — even if the content is good.

What Actually Helped Me Get Traffic

After months of trying, I found some simple things that worked. I’ll now share the 9 SEO tips that helped me. You can do them too — even if you’re a beginner.

1. Use Easy Keywords First

Instead of big topics, I started using small, specific ones.

Example: Instead of “skincare,” I used “best face wash for oily skin under $10.”

How to find these keywords:

• Use Google search suggestions (just start typing).


• Use a tool like Ubersuggest or AnswerThePublic.

Understand What People Want

Before I wrote a blog, I searched the keyword on Google.

I looked at:

• What kind of posts were ranking? (Lists? Videos? Step-by-step guides?)


• How long were the posts?


• What kind of titles were used?

Then I made my blog post just like those, but better. That way, I gave people what they expected.

Write 3–5 Posts on the Same Topic

Google likes websites that focus on one topic.

So I chose a topic, like “freelance writing,” and wrote many posts about it:

• How to start freelance writing


• Where to find jobs


• What tools to use


• How to write faster

Use On-Page SEO Basics

These are small things you can do to help Google understand your content.

Here’s what I did:

• I used my keyword in the title and first paragraph.


• I used only one H1 (main title).


• I added images with proper names (like “seo-guide.png”).


• I linked to other posts on my website.

Use Google Search Console

Google Search Console is a free tool. It tells you:

• If your page is showing in Google


• What keywords people use to find you


• If your site has problems

. Make Your Website Fast and Easy to Use

If your website is slow, people may leave. Google sees that and ranks you lower.

What I did:

• I used a fast theme (like GeneratePress).


• I compressed all images using TinyPNG.


• I removed extra plugins.

Final Words: You Don’t Need to Be an Expert

When I started SEO, I didn’t understand anything. But I learned step by step.
