    Hello DPr's
    Well I have a blog at www.livesharemarkets.com which is now 7 months old.And I try to update it almost on a daily basis and also did some on page optimization using some WP plugins and tried my level best. And recently after the Google page rank update my blog was assigned a PR 2.

    But after all these hard work, i hardly get around 30-40 visitors from google and yahoo search engines. May I know whats wrong with my blog and what should I be doing to solve this issue. And how much time will it take to get good traffic from search engines.


    Thanks in advance.

    Cheers

    You may need to change the keywords your trying to rank highly for as they may not be very popular i have had this problem before, you need to find some highly searched keywords which relate to your website and create content with these keywords included this over time will increase your search engine rank. But there is a lot more to it than that, you can read some tutorials here which should help you out

    Does your keyword competitive and has a tons of traffic a month? If no, then your optimization effort is useless since the keywords of your choice will surely cause no traffic,.

    If yes you can do proper combination of on and off-page optimization,.
    When doing a link building, use only your target keywords as an anchor as S.E added more weight on the text enclose on this tag

    Add keywords in your post title and content with variation, add fresh content and take advantage of social sites and do tagging.

    First off get rid of those huge adsense ads. No one is going to take your seriously and make a return visit to a site that has ads bigger than the content they are offering.

    stock market - is very difficult key :)
    first of all I don't quite understand why you've got string with keywords on the top. this is wrong.

    Then. type in google stock market and see.
    first site: PR7, about 100K pages indexed 139K backlinks in yahoo. 0.5M pages indexed in Yahoo
    your site: PR2, 124 pages indexed, 1.5K backlinks....
    Compare these figures and thinks what should you do to be on the top with this key

    Your adsense looks the same as before, it takes up more space in each post than the content -- no one is going to stay on a site like that and for sure they are never to return.

    Watch out when your targeting the high searched keywords although they would be great if you were to get on to the front page it may take months or even years to reach it though.

    Do not block out long tail keywords these are great if not better than high searched key words, little to less competition in comparison to the high traffic small keyword and sometimes as many searches.

    Use simple tags, and tag your pages properly, but don't overdo it. With good enough realistic strategies, I'm sure you'll pop up in the top in no time. Its really difficult to post how as it will take me a day lol. Anyway, you can pm me if you do need more info.

    apply on-page and off-page optimization then promote your blog in online communities, social bookmarking or social network sites to improve your traffic stats
