$6 dollar days every other day or so

    It is weird that my traffic is not consistent. I will get a $6 dollar day and then it will drop off to no clicks and then back up.... Its not a change in the price per click it will be like a lot of clicks and then none....back and forth....

    Maybe you don't have a well organized website or the content of your pages is not too related to web searches.

    Are you sure you get $6 days and then nothing. I would have though $6 was high enough to mean you earn at least something everyday. How many clicks are you getting for the $6 days?

    Awstats is quite unreliable. Analytics is much better, and has a better featureset to boot.

    I notice that Tuesdays and Wednesdays have the lowest traffic. Saturdays almost make up for them, though.

    Well last time I checked I made it into the top 8 for "free chemistry help"

    I could spend more time on the site. I get about 50 unique visitors a day but I do not advertise it at all.

    somedays I get a slew of clicks and some days none :(

    If you get 50 visitors a day from 'free chemistry help' why not tackle the shorter and (presumably) more competitive 'chemistry help' next - you're halfway there with your existing phrase, and the shorter phrase should increase your visitors quite a bit.

    I guess what I don't understand is how would I do that.

    Everwhere I have "free chemistry help" , I have "chemistry help"
    so they sort of go hand it hand right....

    Not sure what else I might do.

    Submit to directories, do link exchanges, and maybe pay for a few links on relevant sites, but somehow get links with the words 'Chemistry Help' as your title/anchor text. Science sections in directories are usually pretty empty so you should get good placement pretty easily.

    Also, include the phrase 'chemistry help' in your H1 heading and your 'title'. Presumably it appears in the text already.

    In your menu, or just in the footer, have links to the home page titled 'Chemistry help - home' or similar, rather than all links to the home page just saying 'home'.

    Cheers

    Eventually, try to build some back links to your site containing the terms "chemistry help", for example: "Get more chemistry help from..." where "chemistry help" links to your website.

    The idea is that you will attract visits from people searching for "chemistry help" as well as "free chemistry help". Furthermore, the former keyword is more likely to be used since it is shorter. It's a better idea to focus on "chemistry help", since it'll improve your organic traffic.

    Yes I understand that.

    And please forgive me. I am just trying to get a fundamental understanding. I must have misunderstood all this time.

    If someone is trying to get ranked first for "global community" does it matter if they put "red global community" "green global community" or "purple globalcommunity" , that would be three bumps for global community but one each for each color.

    So each time I write " free chemistry help" does it not also bump me for chemistry help seeing as the two words are nex to one another. it would be the same as if i wrote "need chemistry help" in an anchor text right?

    sorry to be redundant.

    Yeah, that would work. I suppose it was just a miscommunication problem then - my apologies. Good luck with the earnings, btw - at least you're still making more than me, even if you earn $6 only every other day. :p

    It helps but it is not the same. Ranking well for the longer phrase will help you with the shorter phrase, but it is easier to rank for the longer phrase, and the shorter phrase needs its own focus.

    Google presumably have your site identified as 'free chemistry help' because your links have been telling them that. That isn't the same as being identified with 'chemistry help'. The more links you have with the longer phrase, the more you are confirming their understanding.

    It is best to use several phrases that include 'chemistry help' not just 'free chemistry help' but also 'chemistry help', 'help with chemistry', 'chemistry', even 'chemistry tutorials' and similar.

    In summary though, success for a longer phrase is only part of the battle for doing well with the shorter phrase, and your emphasis on the word free will detract from the shorter phrase.
