Where is the mistake?

Hello,

First of all, I would like to consult you on a matter where I have been questioning myself. I have a website in a highly competitive sector, and I have been adding unique content for about 7 or 8 months. My traffic is increasing slowly, so I do see the impact, but I have reached a maximum of 300 unique visitors at most. I do not engage in harmful SEO activities either; the only thing I do is buy sponsored posts, and those are only from current and unique websites.

There is one thing I have noticed: 6-month-old or 7-9-month-old sites opened in the same sector have reached 10K traffic, their monthly income has reached 2000 TL, and there is no visible SEO done on the site.

Where am I going wrong here? If they can reach in 6 months where I will reach in 2 years, isn’t it a shame for my 2 years of effort?

Can you share your views on this subject?

He’s pumping out backlinks and promos. While you’re entering 2 pieces of content a day, he’s entering 5. He’s also hitting social media hard, so naturally he comes out on top. It all comes down to the budget.
