My blog site is new, has been established for more than 4 months, has been insisting on updating the content, but the ranking is not ideal, only a few words out of the following, how should I solve it?

Hi Elian and welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]

Success doesn't often happen right away, it can take time to be found and shared with so many sites competing for traffic. Learn from the best by visiting your top competitors and seeing what they are doing better than you are. Don't copy, but learn from their success.

Tell people with an interest in your topics about your site. If it is worth sharing, they will share it too. It can take years to build up good traffic and the work never ends.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld

With any new site it's rare to find it ranking well for any period of time. New content is always good, especially for Google, but the site needs to build a reputation for quality user-oriented content written in natural language.
Keep the content quality high and update often.

Content, authority, expertise, and time. The web is gigantic and new comers always start at zero. It takes something unique or compelling to rise fast. However, over TIME many things are possible, if the Content, expertise and authority are there.

New updates help, good user experience is essential, having responsive/mobile layouts will hit the greatest number of screens, keep third party inserts to a minimum.

Is this blog supplemented with UGC? If so you will need to moderate that to make sure you don't have user content that might lead to deranking issues. Also bear in mind that some niches which fall into categories of IT, health, finance, and politics might be deprecated for a number of reasons---and entertainment or sports sites might run into copyright and intellectual property issues.

Above all, give it time, good content, and the best user experience possible!

I always keep the site updated with content, but the current traffic is not significant making me more and more confused.

It might help to think of a new website (of any kind) as a garden. At this point you have just begun to plant seeds. Planting new seeds and tending to the seed sprouts can eventually bring results. You seem confused or disappointed that it is not yet providing results.

For that, forget gardening and go to the supermarket. The "supermarket" in this case is social media - but remember, they aren't in it to help you. You need to be creative and build a following that you can convert to your site traffic. Many millions of other people are already there, doing that. Either way takes much more than 4 or 8 months for results.

I like the garden analogy. I also like to think of the web as an ocean and your website as a net. The bigger your net the more fish you catch. Think of fish as users :-)

as you grow content you are increasing your chances of being found. Every new article you post increases the likelihood of that article doing well in the search results. Don't focus entirely on volume and quantity though. Concentrate on making each post valuable to the potential reader.

Is this a process that new sites must go through? Is there a better way to help me get out of this cage? Article quality? Social media?

Yes, all new sites go through this. If you want a jump start, throw a few hundred thousand dollars into real world advertising of site on radio, tv, local events, etc.

PEOPLE have to know you are on the web. G already does, and they rank serps by who else knows about you.

TIME will grow that number, and if the site is good users will tell others and they will come, too.
