There are 1.8 Million new pages created every 24 hours, and
only 9% of those new pages will receive at least 1 organic view from Google
search. How depressing is that? Putting all that work into a great content
piece and receiving no traffic. Thankfully, a recent study by Ahrefs has helped us to understand why
this is and how we can avoid being a part of that lonely 91%.
So, why is it that 91% of these pages don’t get any traffic
from organic Google search?
Reason 1: Page doesn’t have any backlinks
Known as one of the top 3 Google ranking factors, it is no
surprise that having no backlinks is reason number one; 85% of websites have 3
backlinks or less.
Reason 2: Topic without enough search traffic potential
Sometime pages will have tons of backlinks but still get
zero traffic from Google. According to Ahrefs research, many of these sites
with tons of backlinks went overboard with “shady link building” and got
penalized by Google. They also weren’t targeting a topic that people are
searching for.
