Hiyas, I got a lot of great advice from people here when I was making my site, now I just need more visitors to see it

Basically my website comespanish.com we translate songs, to help people learn spanish or English. It seems like for every new song we get about 5 more visitors through google.

I suppose its impossible to ever get ranked high for "learn spanish" or phrases like that..so is it just a matter of translating as many songs as possible?? Like 10 000 songs = 50 000 visitors a month?? I mean..I should just be spending all my time translating new songs, or something else?
Thanks a lot !!!!!! I'm reading this forum trying to learn fast

Luque

Well if more content is bringing you more visitors, you should definitely stick with a winner. I'm noticing the same thing; for every photo I add to my site, I get a few hundred visitors to see it, and it starts pulling in Google traffic. So don't give up a strategy that you can see working.

But if you feel you need more people to see your site, that means you need to augment your plan of attack. Which can mean cutting back a bit on the translation ... you probably don't need to do 10,000 songs a month!

Adding text about the cultural significance of the songs you translate will help you with the seo angle. And probably make some of your pages more popular. Do you have any idea how many teens have heard la bamba but don't know a thing about it?

Also, ignore the "social media" craze, but you need to be social about the way you "promote" your site. Become a member of whatever communities want to learn Spanish. Give people advice outside the context of your site, gain respect, and links and word of mouth referrals will follow.

It's a slow process, but it's a sustainable one.

Luke I wouldn't say it's impossible to rank for "learn spanish" but it's probably not easy and it will take time.

Basic SEO principles are fairly simple to understand, but there can be a lot in the details and it takes more time than it should sometimes to sort it all out. If you can see through the quick fix advice and understand it's mostly about solid marketing it comes easier and quicker.

Adding more pages is good. It all starts with having good content on your site. The goal is to have content so good that people want to link to it to let others know about it.

Read through some of the posts about seo and marketing here and feel free to ask questions. The more specific the question the better the answers usually.
