    vBSEO, what am I missing?

    vBSEO, what am I missing?

    Hello,

    It has been five months since I installed vBSEO for the first time.

    Nothing is changed! No more visitors! Nor more revenue (Adsense)!

    So, what am I missing?

    Arabic letters are non-standard letters, so having them in the URL will turn them to something strange like:

    82% traffic from search engines is pretty damn good if you ask me.


    I think vbseo is doing what it should for you.

    I can't read a word of your site, so i can't help you too much.... but i think with that kind of traffic, the efforts you should be focusing on now is member retainment.

    82% search traffic, but only 9% direct means that 70% of the people that come to your site once don't come back.

    Why?

    did they get the info and leave?
    what can you do better to retain that search engine visitor into a contributing member.

    For search engines, I optimized my site, with static URLs, a good robots.txt and enough link building.

    Valid XHTML & CSS

    For users: I use headers (notices in 3.7) to encourage visitors to register, get activated and post.

    A pretty unique content!

    Also I send a weekly newsletter.

    I'm going to do some design optimization!

    I'll did more alteration for the style, as it's expected to comfort the visitors!

    I has added a new lovely navigation bar, this will alert visitors about the various sections in the site. then it's expected to increase the pageviews/visit and the spent time on the site!

    Do you think so?
