My site is nearly 13 yrs old My traffic has dropped almost 100 percent as is the income Lots of content it's a great site Any ideas? I almost feel it's been sabotaged or something done from my competitors Any ideas how I can do some digging? Analytics today showed only 6 visitors now that's very suspicious Thanks in advance
It's slow to load, it's an incredibly outdated design and you have really bad photos uploaded of your psychics and you shouldn't be using pt for font sizes, it should be em - although older themes might still be using px, but never, ever pt. Your blog is hard to read, white on a bright blue isn't easy. If you are going to tag your posts make the tags hyperlinks so I can see the other times you've used the tag, that's how tags are meant to work And what happened to your Twitter account? These are onsite problems and Google will monitor your "bounce rate" and penalise you for the times it's sent traffic to you and people have left quickly - and they will for a site that doesn't look like it's had any work done on it in decades. Get a modern-looking, fast site before worrying about traffic. Download a template for a business plan and work through the steps, make sure you're spending time on the site that will give you a return. Make sure you have a niche that isn't going to see you outspent on advertising etc.
Thanks so much you have no idea how much I appreciate this Yes it's outdated and as you know to redo costs thousands of dollars which I don't have. Traffic drops money drops Some of these things can be fixed On the blog the keywords are good? Understand on the color for it Not sure on Twitter I'll find out as it was there I have a webmaster that is not perfect to be sure. Again thanks it doesn't look good for me unless you are loaded with money I'm sure there are inside issues for the site as well with coding and all Hugs
It's a Wordpress site, you don't need a webmaster, roll up your sleeves, choose a free theme from the thousands that exist and do it yourself. If you get stuck we're here to help but YouTube is full of how-to videos. Do that business plan though - your time is valuable too. Oh, and the tags - only you and your competitors know how good they are, the point was that they need to be linking to an index page of posts that use that tag to create "internal linking".
