Has nobody been able to come up with the ultimate guide to increase site traffic? Or did you find you just weren’t able to put what they tried to teach you in place?Perhaps there were missing pieces – but you’re not quite sure.Perhaps you did implement everything they taught you – but the increase in traffic was nothing like they promised. You wonder what you did wrong, and decide it must be your lack of skill. Off you go, to buy another traffic guide – only to find the same old information you’ve paid for before.Driving strong traffic to a site doesn’t take a magic formula, or a Harvard business degree.

By now, you’re getting the hang of targeting your market (but you’ve got a feeling there’s just a few things missing – or you would have noticed more success by now.)It’s not that you don’t know how to find keywords, and use them: It’s that your sites just don’t have the visibility you thought they’d garner, at this stage of the game.You wonder what the gurus do.

Within days, it plummeted to the 3rd page – and stayed there for several months, gradually climbing back to the second page, where it remained “stuck” for quite some time.Now, I admit, I was killer-busy, so I just left it to do it’s thing, without really stopping to analyze how I could tweak it – which of course I should have done, straight away – but how could a static site perform better than a properly optimized WordPress blog?
