I've been working on content for the past 3 months, almost everyday... Content has increased by over a few hundred articles in past 2 months. But last month our traffic from google went down... Website is www.footballclips.net Awstats traffic from Google Search Engine... Nov - 10499 61.3 % 10571 43.4 % Oct - 13342 63.1 % 13364 26.9 % Sep - 12454 63.7 % 12481 39.6 % A friend of mine thinks its because I dont have enough backlinks, but I'm not sure... what can I do to improve my Search Engine results with Google?
it is normal when one month you have less visitors, maybe next month you will get more visitors to visit your site..try to promote your site to social bookmarking site..
I guess the problem is that you focus on on-page optimization. Try to build links on social networking sites such as facebook and twitter and build a community there, for sure you will gain traffic.
The reason is that the site doesnt target the keywords properly... you need to redo your onsite SEO... Have you checked your site in Google Webmasters tool? ____________________________________________________ Expert Wordpress Resource Blogging Basics - Earn money Free Wordpress Theme

You are not surprised at a decrease are you? I do landscape and tree work and see at least a 50% decrease gradually between September to December. There was a huge spike for a couple of weeks, because I have redwood pages, and National Geographic magazine and Explorer had an article and a show on redwoods. Aside from that, the seasonal decline seemed normal. You do have an outdoor activity site - right? Interest declines as weather declines for that stuff. Especially since the greater population with internet lives in the northern hemisphere where winter is arriving.
Does you traffic came from Search Engines? Work on indexing most part of your site. Setting up sitemaps and bookmarking your pages will help.
To be honest, I dont believe backlinks really work. Related backlinks come naturally forced backlinks are usually deleted... The 100's of hours spent on backlinks could be better used with 100 hours of articles..
