I’ve audited and consulted with 100’s of Publishers' websites efforts to diagnose why they can't drive traffic.

And almost every time they’re making the same mistakes.

Here are 4 mistakes to avoid if you want to scale your organic traffic exponentially!

A Thread🧵

What's causing all these logos to look the same?

[Bilal Ahmad @BilaalBlanco]

@cassiemcblane It's not about numbers. 10 well written articles can do more than 100 avg articles.
My main site has 4 silos, 300 articles. Smallest silo has 15 articles (no research, written with expertise) it brings in 90% of the traffic. Daily traffic is around 700 organic & growing

Nothing has a higher ROI than surrounding yourself with positive people.

@AffiliateStuff Yep. I try to avoid using PayPal for affiliate stuff at all - but some companies still wanna use it.

I spoke to PayPal and tried really hard to make this work - "nope, we can move this USD to your CAD bank account, but not your USD bank account."

Useless.

@BepehJoanna Whew... haha. I wondered if you were selling yaughts. lol

[⚡ L.E. McArthur @AffiliateSavant]

@BepehJoanna I agree with many of your points,but..

What affiliate program offers a 30K or 50K commission??

(Or is this a currency other than USD?)

[Blair MacGregor @blairmacgregor]

-If Google could only choose *one* page in the world to rank for the keyword you're after, would they choose yours?

-If not, why not?

Ask yourself these two questions and you'll be on the road to solving just about any SEO problem you've ever had.

[Kevin → Plant Daddy @KevinEspiritu]

Many "niche site people" try to outsource writing quickly, not realizing the entire business model is an information arbitrage where you are getting eyeballs and throwing people to ads or affiliate

Your product IS the content

Make it world fucking class

@wayitworks @sonny8s Glad you're walking away from this.

Besides the late payments - it's not acceptable for an affiliate manager to tell you what to do on your own website.

Advice is one thing, but telling an affiliate how to do their job and where they must place things is bad practice.

Are you building relationships with your affiliate managers?

This was the start of a long convo about my current strategy and plans for the future. He offered to do keyword research and layout design for me. Next-level affiliate manager. ⚡

@wayitworks @sonny8s Sounds like they don't take their affiliate program seriously. 😿

[⚡ L.E. McArthur @AffiliateSavant]

@risingaffiliate @AlexNicheSites @vladfalin That's your defense?

[⚡ L.E. McArthur @AffiliateSavant]

@wayitworks @sonny8s Reach out and see if you can get any clarification as to what's going on.

If they are a good partner, they'll be straight up about the issue and what their plan is to fix it.

That may seem like a lot to ask, but it's basic communication and the respect an affiliate deserves.

[⚡ L.E. McArthur @AffiliateSavant]

@sonny8s @ChazNahas 100%

You generally have to EARN the attentions of an affiliate manager.

[⚡ L.E. McArthur @AffiliateSavant]

@navdeepsoni Are there particular niches where you find this is more prevalent?

[⚡ L.E. McArthur @AffiliateSavant]

@danavirsarria Cool idea!

[⚡ L.E. McArthur @AffiliateSavant]

@AlexNicheSites @MagicMetric 😂 No publicity is bad publicity?

Truth is, I almost retweeted it myself. Then backed away and contented myself with shit-commenting.

[⚡ L.E. McArthur @AffiliateSavant]

@MagicMetric That's right, your bio says you're recovered now. 😊
