Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mueller" data-source="post: 5545" data-attributes="member: 817">HiI know 1 month isn't very long for a site to rank, but I just wanted some input.I have a large-ish ecommerce site, well, it's not actually a store, it is woocommerce based, but the product listings are all external buy links(affiliate, the site purpose is product comparison, discounts, etc of brands that are only otherwise available on standalone shops and not ebay or amazon).Not going to disclose the niche(vices, thus not on amazon), but looks like it's a very rankable one(especially compared to the online gambling niche, which I have 15 sites in, and found to be damn near impossible).I have 1,000 category pages(with about 2 paragraphs each, and metadata. Sounds like more than it is, since most subcategories are redundant to very specifc product attributes for advanced sorting) , and 615 products listed.When complete, will be about 3,000-4,000 products listed. My latest product descriptions are 4,000-5,000 words(not as long as it sounds, I have tabbed information, so most hidden unless tab is clicked, also show and hide F.A.Q.) and nicely designed(with even shortcode info graphics to visualize product attributes).However, I believe it's under performing for what it is. It was incresing nicely to above 400 impressions, and has since crashed back down. I have been adding new product listings daily, often ones with new different keywords.I index 10 pages a day manually, about 300 pages indexed, google hasn't rejected any. Though it seems, as I index new pages and get new keywords, I'm just shown less for other keywords like a teeter totter - it wasn't doing that before the impressions peak - it was all growing as relative to additions and new pages indexed and new keywords. It's like I hit a cap, and now not only diminishing return, but reduction in visibility.Or, am I just over reacting? For the size, is this good for a first month, or is it likely there is a problem?Here's my stats. I'm really hoping I can get start getting exponentially better results if I plug away a few more months, but for the short term, seems new effort isn't being proportionally rewarded. I have a few smaller 15 page micro review sites in the same niche, they get about 50-80 impressions a day, with a tiny tiny tiny fraction of the content.I can make those micro sites in a 10 hour day, I'm worried I should have just done that instead, and am worried the larger effort wont be rewarded, as certainly isn't better proportional to the amount of content. This tiny amount of traffic is making me sales already, which is good, I've seen case studies of smaller sites in the niche reaching thousands of google hits a day(if I get that, I'll be rich).Is it just too soon? (this would be good for a small micro site like the others I do, but I feel like for it's size, it's not)Btw, 457 keywords in google search console, and 247 pages of the indexed pages have been displayed so far.Is google throttling down my impressions since the site is new?</blockquote>
