Hi,
It is good to know that your site is indexed and you did on page optimization and have a good amount of unique articles. However, did you conduct keyword research on what other people are searching for?
You may have a lot of articles but if you don't know what your audience is searching for then you couldnt have included keywords in your articles and on page seo.
Make sure to include keywords (since you just started, target easy long tail keywords) in your article and on-page seo. Try to build some backlinks and that will definitely help.

Hi'
Site is already indexed and on page optimization is done.
Site is regularly being updated and a little social media promotion is going on.
But in approx 2 weeks there is no traffic from search engines . There are approx 180 unique articles and 500 images on the site.
Should i wait more or need to do something on the site.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Kashif,
In order for your websie to even appear on the search engine result page, your website must be crawled and indexed by the search engine. Furthermore, in order for search engines to crawl your site, you will need contents and pages for them to crawl. Usually when you have a site up, sooner or later it will be crawl.
\However, to fasten the speed for Google to crawl your site, you can request them to crawl by submitting your URL to Google.

Once you are indexed, you should optimize your website with on-page SEO (such as page title, URL, create contents, anchor text, h1 header) and earn back links from authority site. If your site is well optimized, your website will then appear on search engine when someone search for keywords you are targeting. Furthermore, you should also optimize meta description to attract searchers to click on your webiste on the search result page thus you get traffic from search engine.
In conclusion, there is no set time. Optimize your website for SEO and you will get traffic soon.
Hope this helps

Condensing content for web site redesign
We're working on a redesign and are wondering if we should condense some of the content (as recommended by an agency), and if so, how that will affect our organic efforts. Currently a few topics have individual pages for each section, such as (1) Overview (2) Symptoms and (3) Treatment. For reference, the site has a similar structure to http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/guide/heart-disease-overview-fact. Our agency has sent us over mock-ups which show these topics being condensed into one and using a script/AJAX to display only the content that is clicked on. Knowing this, if we were to choose this option, that would result in us having to implement redirects because only one page would exist, instead of all three. Can anyone provide insight into whether we should keep the topic structure as is, or if we should take the agency's advice and merge all the topic content? *Note: The reason the agency is pushing for the merging option is because they say it helps with page load time. Thank you in advance for any insight! Tcd5Wo1.jpg

New Google Update In The Past Two Days???
Was there a new Google update in the past couple of days. Traffic on my test site has gone from ~ 1,000 per day to over 4,000 per day for no particular reason. Most of the traffic is still coming from Google and is not the result of any new major links. My keyword rankings also appear to be the same ...

New visual search results - what is this and how do we optimize for it?
Hi all, This morning as I am doing some keyword research for a new client, I typed in the phrase and Google returned both the listings as well as a vertical photo bar. I've never seen this before. Is this new? Is it common and I've just missed it? I presume this means we need to really have our photo alt tags 'ducks in a row' but I'm also wondering if this points to an increased importance on visual content? Image attached. Thanks, YINd14d

Changing the # of results per page in Google search settings displays totally different results. Why is this?
Curious what's going on here. This is the first time I've seen this before. What's happening is this ... In Google, I search for "mobile apps orange county" and get a standard list of 10 results. I go to Google's search settings in the top right corner of the page (button is grey with a gear) to change the number of results per page from 10 to 50 (also did 100). When I go back to Google and search again for "mobile apps orange county" I get a much larger list but with completely different results. This time around the top 10-12 are dominated by the same website (ocregister.com) What's going on here that Google would now show different results? Why is this one website all of a sudden dominating the first 12 results? Thanks everyone! ByteLaunch
