I have more than 4000 pages but still have a low trafic. Would love to know more to be better ranked ?

My website is a magazine about travel and fashion. But even if i have a lot of pages, I am still low in ranking.

Why ? Thanks for any advice !

I don't want to distract others from possibly giving a better answer then mine.

I will say this, if you're primary target is France then you should build a strong keyword association with what your site says and what you expect your users to find or do. To me (again I can only read the English) I didn't understand what I was suppose to see or do on the site. Was I there because I wanted to see possible spots to visit? Or was I there to book a trip? I don't know.

My experience on the site was I was looking at a French blog spot. There is no call to action (Reserve Hotel, Book A Trip) so the only thing I could see was recommendations. With the translation to English made that hard to want to read.

Again since you are primary working in the France market I would suggest generating the keywords in French, outlining what your goals are for your viewers and implementing a strategy that attracts those types of users/readers. While following the SEO Basics.

After you have established your site in France, then come back and work on the English side of things.

First of all, I am not an english native. So I try to do my best but I sincerely recognise that I do not want to lose time over translation so that is why they are not good as they should probably be. 
Maybe It's not perfect but I would love to see your French translations, just to laugh for a minute

Do you have a list of search terms which you are targeting? You may have 4000 pages of content, but if it isn't targeted enough then you won't rank particularly well.

I'd also echo Donford's comment above that the translation could use some work!

[ccjourn]

My specific region is France. More specifically Toulouse.

[donford]

Also what is your primary target region? France ?

I can find you in Google.fr pretty easily, but Google.com not so much. Some of the English pages could use a little better translation.

If you're targeting 2 countries / languages you should also use specific titles

FR Title Tag: Jet-lag-trip, le magazine lifestyle du voyage: hotels, restaurants
EN Title Tag: Jet-lag-trip, le magazine lifestyle du voyage: hotels, restaurants

This is an example of a challenge. When you target two languages you need to clearly define the keywords for each language and incorporate them appropriately on every page. It is twice the work, but also twice the potential.

I am sure others will have some input as well. I don't speak French (wish I did).

Of course !
