Skip those. The only audience you’ll gain is other bloggers, who are only following your blog to sell you something. You can’t get a like without liking someone else’s blog, and then search algorithms and people just see you as one piece in a large net of probably-not-good material.

I clicked the link and recall seeing talk about this site on Quora earlier. The pics still aren’t showing, and you’ll need to fix that. Follow their support pages, and ask them if there are any issues. Your site is hosted on their servers and they can troubleshoot it for you: Uploading Images

If you’re looking to gain traffic, you have to build organic search traffic. Social media marketing, etc. is good for temporary bursts to supplement organic search traffic, but that’s what everyone is trying to acquire, and it’s not easy (because you’re competing with everyone).

On a technical level, you have to use focused keywords. Yoast is a great WordPress plug-in to check this. SEO Tools • Yoast

After installing Yoast (read Managing Plugins if you don’t know how), each time you post, you’ll be asked to enter a focus keyword. When you save your draft, it will display a simple Green (good), Yellow (good enough), or Red (bad) “light” on the page to let you know how well that particular post focuses on that keyword. 

It will then list every single factor that led to that decision (grammar, readability, keyword richness, keyword in title, keyword in URL, etc.). After fixing up a few posts, you’ll gain the experience necessary to know how to write for the Internet.

Here are a few notes I have from looking at your page:

1 – The header photo is too big. It takes up the entire screen, and I have to scroll down to even begin seeing what you post. Experiment with different free themes to find one that doesn’t detract from your blog posts.

2 – Your posts aren’t categorized. You need to go through each post and categorize what they’re about (Categories vs. Tags). This is how you figure out what your blog is actually about, and “Teenagers” is only a general overview. Take Huffington Post for example – it’s a news blogging site, but when you go to their homepage, it doesn’t just say “News,” then list a bunch of news stories. Instead, you can click on “Politics,” “Business,” etc. Scrolling through your blog, I saw two posts about health, one about travel, and one about music. Those are three categories you could use (though stick to what interests you). Your title tells me “this blog is from a teen about teen issues,” and the categories would clue me in as to what subjects this teen is discussing. Teens have 24/7 lives and the term encapsulates everything teen. I don’t know what your blog is about without categories.

3 – Once you categorize everything, you have to list those categories in the menu. So instead of just “Home” and “About,” I’ll also be able to navigate specifically to the category of teen issues I’m interested in. Right now the only way I can read your blog is sequentially, and I won’t scroll through more than a post or two before I get bored and leave your site forever.

4 – To enrich keywords on your site, go back through what you’ve written and find places to explain things. In your BreakDown posts, you mention OCD, but left an SEO opportunity on the table. Don’t assume your reader knows what OCD is – explain it in a quick sentence or two (or even link to a reputable site that describes OCD). That gives me a chance to learn more about OCD to understand why it’s affecting you in the way you describe.

5 – Once you’ve cleaned everything up, start submitting these blogs to other sites as guest posts. For example, HuffPost Teen (Teen News, Teen Opinion, High School News) may enjoy a post from a teenager on the difficulties faced when there’s so much pressure put on you to be flawless by everyone else. That’s a real thing many of us have experienced, and you can be a part of that conversation just by submitting what you’re already doing to them. Of course, check the site out and get a feel for what everyone else is doing. You may even find ideas for more things to write.

6 – You’re writing your blog as a journal, and that’s perfectly fine. It’s being presented as personal opinion, which is also known as editorials. When you pitch stories to anyone external, pitch them as blogs or editorials, not as journalism.

I hope that helps, and you’re doing a good job at what you’re doing. These are just tips to help you take what you’re doing to the next level and monetize it, which is what it sounds like you’re trying to do.

If that’s the case, the above will increase your traffic over time, but to make money, you have to sign up for affiliate programs to get ads on your site that you control.

WordPress doesn’t allow Google AdWords because they have their own WordAds program. You can, however, input ads from Amazon Affiliates, Rakuten Affiliates, Commission Junction, etc.

The more you write, the better of a writer you’ll become, the bigger your network will get, and the more opportunities you’ll find to get paid as a writer, assuming that’s what you want to do.

Good luck.
