SEO question

[markRg]

Hello,

I'm launching a website in a moderately competitive niche. At first, Google gives a little traffic, but after about 3 weeks, the traffic drops to zero. I wait for six months, and the traffic still doesn't come.
Usually, I would just wait, and the traffic would start to grow.

My question is: how do you handle this situation? Do you start buying links?
Or is it already pointless and better to forget about it?

Thanks.

I would double down on fresh content. They've seen what you put out there and with new or fresh content you could see much more difference than buying links.

There is a discussion on that topic that started last year and offers some insights on link building today: [webmasterworld.com...]

I would definitely not abandon the project yet. New domains bounce around for months before anything stable happens. One of my sites looked completely dead for a while and then slowly started moving again.

The main issue ended up being page hierarchy and indexing. So I worked with TESSA in North Virginia to review the setup and they helped clean up the page structure and remove a few indexing problems that were hiding important pages. After that Google gradually started picking the content up again.

Create content regularly and look for backlinks in parallel. A strong backlink is better than 50 weak spammy backlinks. Don't buy the packages sold on Fiverr and those type of sites.
