I studied how many articles I published in 2016 (almost 120), but also those in 2015 because I think those rank now. So it’s clear that I have to publish more articles which target low competition keyword. These need to be on first page in G in 2 months at most.

Hi,

Don’t let the big numbers scare you… The key is to figure out how to get the same trend and growth going. Do you have to post more content on your site? Do you need to expand in other ways? Figure out how to keep the trend going…
We know that November and December definitely are great months to be an Amazon Associate. Keep working on your site, kick it up a notch and that holiday season will be very exciting.

Hi Silviu,

For what it is worth I have noticed a much larger drop this month around 30% but more interestingly the traffic is much better. Staying longer on site and reading more pages on average. Sales are up slightly also. My guess more targeted traffic.

Sometimes when numbers are down other factors may counter balance that.

About doing 100k this year I’m in the same boat, in January 2016 I did exactly 2% from all 2016 but really I cant think that in january 2018 would be the same for January 2017. This mean that we need to do 70k in November and December which is hard too believe.

Waiting your thoughts.

You can, that’s how I’m doing it and the result speak for itself…
You have to be very picky when you hire though. Know what you want, don’t settle for the first one but try different writers. I’ve gone through a lot of writers and when you find a good one KEEP him or her!

I have another site that I’ve had real issues with finding good writers. I posted the same job probably 10 times without finding a great writer. This last time I got 4 really good quality writers… I just kept all of them.

So know what you want and hold on to them when you find them,

Vicky
