So i've been working on a website now for a few months. Its basically a review site that provides great information on the products and links to affiliates. I recently ordered and SEO report on fiverr since my traffic has stayed at about 10-14 visitors a day for a few months.
It came back with a load of things wrong with it. Included problems were code to text ratio, failed google and alexa page rank test, fialed inline css test, failed html page size test, failed html compression/GZIP test, failed page cache test, my site loading speed was trash, failed URL canonicalization test, failed Libwww-perl Access Test, failed server signature test, failed IP canonicalization test, and failed media query response test. In addition to that i've only tried ranking for one keyword and haven't even used it nearly enough in my content or headers.
I plan to add my main target keyword to more headers and include it more in content, in addition to targeting 3 more similar keywords. That part i can handle.
I just started looking into link building strategies so i'm hoping i can do that on my own. I'm currently not even in the top 50 on the only three search engines i'm even being picked up by. I honestly haven't done any link building besides a handful of blog comments. I've really been focusing on generating content up until this point.
Im wondering if i should actually take the time to learn what all of the other tests are, what they mean, and how to fix them, or if i should hire someone to take care of all of this.
Also do you guys suggest i do a link building campaign on my own or should i outsource it? Id rather not blow a bunch of money so i'm thinking its best if i just learn it. It feel it would be invaluable to learn because i could also apply it to future sites i create. The only thing that worries me is how long it will actually take to become effective at this stuff.
