Following the Google update and drop in visitors since end of August, I decided make a few effort to keep the business going:
- In pursuit of topical authority: unpublishing more than 80 articles. This makes the site a bit tighter but the remaining topics are still unrelated to each other. I ended up with 4 topics.
- Reducing the frequency of additional articles since adding more does not seem to add traffic significantly. Google still index it as fast as ever but they all stuck on page 4 or 5 which is useless.
- Trying to diversify traffic from social media following NSL suggestion: using a service for FB and doing it myself for Pinterest. So far the result isn’t really significant: 5K traffic from Google & 90 from social media in the last 28 days.
- Start link building campaign again to increase my site’s DA. It seems it’s very difficult to rank without proper DA. Mine is now only 19, will see if I can push it to 30+.
Traffic got bumped a bit since end of December, which is supposedly when travel site gets a bump anyway until the end of January. The result is now I get 200+ per day consistently instead of 130+ in the last months. It is still depressing since I got 400+ on August but progress is progress. I’m hoping this will keep up past January.
