Hello, how are you, I have a new website that is 2 months old that receives very little traffic, I create good quality backlinks that are not yet indexed and I improve the DR of my domain but I still receive very few clicks that you recommend me to improve?

Forget link building. Google is looking for a site that adds value. Affiliate sites rarely do this. If you want traffic you need to put in a lot of effort on your site content.

What's an "affiliate site" anyway? A site where you just list a load of Amazon links and hope people will go to it so they can click on your links?
That’s exactly what it is. It’s never going to rank for anything useful nor is it ever going to make any money.

How does Google know that your content is good? Is it the amount of time that people spend on the page?
Does keywords have any bearing on traffic. Eg Do you have to mention the keywords on the searched page often?

Google compares your site to others offering the same service or product and determines which one is authoritative, trustworthy and adds value. There are hundreds of ranking signals used in the calculation. It’s less about keywords and more about answering the search query.

Launch now then build the content. I had a site with two pages and got that ranking for a particular niche keyword.

Why is that better? Does it not impact on ranking the fact that there are only a limited amount of pages and therefore quite thin content and therefore people don’t stay on your site for long?
Also you mentioned it likes “authority”.
I am not a doctor, but I could easily launch a website about blood pressure. How would google know that I am not a doctor? A doctor or scientist could equally launch a website on blood pressure. How would google know that they have more authority?

If the content answers the search query and people land on the site half the job is done. You now need to convince them to covert from a visitor to a customer.

SEO gets them on the site. Marketing keeps them there.

Authority comes from citations and reviews. Google will look at your online profile and work out if you are a doctor. You will be on an NHS register, have papers published, be listed in the lancet, have your own practice and so on.

You must create contextual backlinks and have them indexed, I can create them for you if you want, since I work as a freelancer if you are interested send me a message
That’s not how it works. Ignore DR, Google isn’t interested. If you want to rank the site you need to create content.

It’s a thin affiliate site. You aren’t offering Google anything useful. If people want to buy product X then they can find lots of website layout selling product X. You aren’t needed.

There are ways to get traffic to an affiliate site (via SM for example) but Google isn’t one of them.

If it's a brand new domain not an aged one you took over 2 months ago, then expecting it to rank that fast is a bit optimistic.

Depending on the niche and what KW's you're targeting will lengthen/shorten the time it takes.

Assuming it's just doing product reviews then a lot of really big, established sites doing that, have been hit by recent G updates. So it is tougher to rank those type of sites now.

I think the right links are still important, but again G will be suspicious of a brand new site, with "thin" content, getting loads of links v quickly.

GL with it.

Not true, I've made a decent ££££ for years on affiliate sites. They do rank and they do make money :eek:)
Yes they do. But this one won’t. Not without a major rework.

Backlinks do work, but it's only a tiny part of the equation.
You need good quality articles or reviews that give value to the reader and will persuade them to buy the product. SEO on the page for the correct keyword will also help.
Trouble is I doubt @Hernan28 is prepared to put any effort into this project. If you look at the site it’s just junk.
