My site had stable traffic for about five years (~135-150 daily organics). This year, I decided to increse the traffic, aiming for at least 1,000 daily. I managed to reach about 200 daily visits, but two months ago, I lost 70%. The traffic loss was not related to the content, and now the site is already regaining its positions on the old posts. But in the past two months, I’ve written over 150 new posts. They are indexed but not ranking yet, and traffic recovery comes from the old posts, not the new ones. My question is about the latest ~150 posts published in July-September 2025. https://mexicanroutes.com/2025/ I changed the style, writing in a way I believe Google prefers. Do you think this type of content can actually help increase traffic beyond the usual 150 a day and move closer to 1,000? I publish 3 posts a day and plan to keep that pace for the next two months. After that, I’ll slow down to one post a day, and in about six months, I expect to post every other day, since I also need to manage several other sites.
I forgot to mention, before this July, I used to publish between 5 and 10 posts a month. Not even every day, sometimes several posts in one day and then nothing for weeks.
Your new content style, combined with a high-volume publishing schedule, has a good chance to increase your traffic significantly over time. While reaching 1,000 daily visitors within the next few months is possible, it depends on how well your content ranks, how competitive your niche is, and your promotional efforts. Stay consistent, optimize for SEO, and focus on providing value—these are the key ingredients for scaling your traffic.
Thanks. Unfortunately, I've been very ill for the last three weeks and haven't published anything. I'm currently preparing new topics and in a few days will continue publishing 3 posts a day until January. From January, I will reduce daily posts to 1 a day. BTW, I'm also improving old posts, keeping the same URL but improving and expanding the content.
Since old posts are recovering, your new content strategy is likely solid - just needs time. Google typically takes 3-6 months to rank new content. With 150 posts aging and your publishing pace, you should see gradual growth toward 1,000 daily. Focus on comprehensive posts that become go-to resources for Mexican travel topics. What patterns are you seeing in Search Console for the new posts?
I don’t understand Google Search Console. Sometimes I see a high number of impressions but zero clicks, even though I know those posts rank well. Maybe I should check data from previous days, not just the last 24 hours. I use a plugin that shows me which posts get traffic during the day and how much of it comes from organic search. I check this daily for Google and other search engines. When it comes to new posts — some of the ones I wrote in July, August, and even September — they’re already getting small organic traffic. Out of about 200 posts published during those 3 months, at least 70-80 posts have appeared in organic search results at least once. Google alone has pulled around 30 of them into organic results within the last 30 days, and other search engines have shown similar activity. Some of these posts have even appeared 5–8 times over the last month. This is not the traffic level I want yet, but it shows that the posts are getting indexed and ranked. Some appear more often than others, and they’re definitely being seen more than once or twice. PS: I only improve those old posts that have had low traffic over the last few years.
That’s actually a good sign-impressions without clicks just mean you’re on page 2-3 for those queries. Set GSC to “Last 28 days” and filter by “Position > 10”; if impressions are high there, a tiny on-page tweak (title tag or adding an FAQ) can bump you onto page 1 and the clicks should follow. Keep watching those 30 new URLs that already cracked the top 100; give them internal links from your recovering old posts and they’ll climb faster.
I thought the more clicks, the better. So, actually, it’s not that bad. I should take another look at GSC and see how things really look there. Anyway, I use BURST, and this plugin shows me the same thing as Google Search Console. I compared the results once, and they match 99% the same. I also check the stats with WordFence Live Traffic. Burst, WordFence Live Traffic, Google Analytics, and GSC show the same stats. I just find it more convenient to check through Burst.
Exactly high impressions with low clicks just means you’re on the edge of page 1. Burst is fine for quick checks; when you spot URLs stuck at pos 10-20, give them an internal link or tweak the title and they usually pop onto page 1 within a week.
A lot has been happening within Google’s ecosystem over the last 2–3 months. We’ve seen frequent ranking fluctuations, indexing delays, and even temporary glitches in search results, mainly due to AI inclusion and continuous adjustments to Google’s ranking systems. Google has also been updating its local and content quality guidelines recently, which is causing visible shifts in traffic for many sites. If your traffic dropped earlier but is now recovering, that’s actually a positive sign — it usually means there’s nothing negative like a manual penalty or deindexing issue. Your rankings are just stabilizing with the new system updates. Keep focusing on quality and relevance of your content. If Google finds your new blogs truly informative, original, and useful, they will start performing over time. For example, I also published a blog on my site about the July 2025 Google update, Google’s Latest SEO Trends & Algorithm Updates – July 2025 — and surprisingly, that single post is driving more organic traffic than many others (Rank on 1-2 page for many related keywords). So it’s not always about how many blogs you publish, but how valuable and timely each piece is for readers. Just maintain your consistency and content quality, you’ll likely see your new blogs start ranking once Google’s systems finish recalibrating or something special to serve to his users.
The traffic drop was not related to the Google Update. The idiots from spamhaus.org added me to their spam list. They added my whole server IP just because my VPS with 30 websites had a brief failure and sent multiple email notifications to me. All mail alerts were sent only to me. But spamhaus.org marked my IP and all my sites as spam. Google traffic dropped sharply several days later. I managed to remove my IP from Spamhaus after a week and even changed the server IP. But all my domains from that server IP were already listed as spam by third-party services using the spamhaus.org data. Traffic only started to recover when the last of those sites updated their database and my domains were removed from their spam lists. I lost more than half a year because of stupid spamhaus.org. BTW, spamhaus.org ruined many other websites, check trustpilot review about them. My traffic is now recovering, and the old posts are ranking again, the same ones that were top before the drop. Google didn’t trust my site for a few months because of Spamhaus and pushed it far down the rankings. New posts are only gradually appearing in Google’s organic search, though they perform better on Bing and DuckDuckGo. My main traffic is still coming from the same old posts as before. I understand about that post you wrote that’s getting a lot of organic traffic. Something similar happened to me. In February, I wrote a post - I didn’t even try much, just wrote it. And somehow, 4 hours after publishing, it started getting organic traffic from Bing and DuckDuckGo, not from Google. In just two days, that post got over 2,000 organic views. I still get 10–20 visits per day, mostly from Bing and DuckDuckGo. The topic itself was completely overdone - it was about the Gulf of Mexico. This was right when the red idiot tried to change its name, back in January. By mid-February, there were already plenty of posts about this gulf online. I didn’t write it for traffic; I just wrote it because I was annoyed by the name change. I didn’t put anything special into it, yet somehow, that post immediately took off and appeared on the first pages of search engines.
I know it’s not related to any Google update, but... Since 2019, my domain authority has been stuck at DA26–DA27. This year, in May, when I started working on the site seriously, it jumped to DA30, skipping DA28 and DA29. I don't know why, because I didn’t buy backlinks and I didn’t do link exchanges. But in July, when my traffic dropped, it fell back to DA27 again. Two weeks later, it jumped back to DA30. Two weeks after that, down to DA27 again. Since July, when the traffic first dropped, it’s been jumping between DA27 and DA30 every 2–3 weeks. Today it’s DA30 again, but just a few days ago it was DA27. This has been going on for 3 months now and I can't figure out why.
Read my reply and very first line is your reply "A lot has been happening within Google’s ecosystem over the last 2–3 months.". Thanks
If Google is updating ... it mean all related sectors are updating ...... Sometimes DA vary according to contents update also but i am not sure in your case (need some analysis) ....... Thanks
