Bad News: Ranking in Google Takes Time...

Hey Reader,

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been sharing lots of different strategies related to building your own successful niche site.

However, one of the main reasons that I see people fail is because they don't stick with it.

Google isn't a magic faucet that immediately sends traffic as soon as you publish an article.

The truth is that it takes time to rank in Google. How much time? Well, that all depends.

If you are just creating a brand new site and just publishing content, you will likely need to wait 2 to 3 months before you start seeing much traffic at all. And even then, 10 to 20 visitors a day is probably the norm.

So, after 2 to 3 months, you can start to expect to see a small trickle of traffic.

However, this is where so many people start to give up...don't quit though!

If you are able to keep publishing great content, getting a few links here and there, and building your email list, you will likely start to see even better results after 6 months or so.

Once you hit the 6 month mark, Google should be sending you much more traffic and no longer considers your site "new".

For example, I just created a website almost exactly one year ago (as of the writing of this email). When the site was just 3 months old, it was only getting about 30 to 40 unique visitors a day.

I then started added lots of content (about 100 articles in the next 3 months), and by month 6 the site was getting about 350 to 450 unique visitors a day. That's a 10 fold increase!

Now the site is about a year old and getting 1200 to 1400 unique visitors a day. In addition, the site earned just over $3,000 last month!

So, if I had stopped when the site was only a few months old because I wasn't seeing huge results (just 30 to 40 visitors a day), I would have missed out on the $3,000 a month in earnings the site is now achieving.

So, the bad news is that it does take time to rank in Google. But the good news is that once you start ranking in Google, you tend to stick around for a while. In fact, rankings tend to just increase as your site ages and gains more authority.

Overall, I just wanted to let you know to stick with it, have patience, and over time you should start seeing results.

Hope that helps,

Spencer
