Have you posted a lot on your new site, but found that your site is not doing well in Google search? If so, you might probably feel frustrated and eventually would stop posting articles, thinking that it would be a waste of time.
But before you decide to give up, you should understand how to improve your site in Google search engine. At least keep on posting good articles. Then start using Google Webmaster Tools. It can tell you how your site is performing in the search engine. An exclamation point symbol will tell you what's wrong with the site in the search engine.
Building a site with high traffic isn't an easy task. You need a lot of time to manage it, and most of all, presenting good quality contents. Many webmasters also quote "contents is the king".
Google Webmaster Tools can tell you if something is wrong with your website. For example, when the Google crawler reaches your site, but your site server is down, an error message will also be sent to you. You can see in the "Web crawler errors" section. You'll also see an error if there's something wrong with your robot.txt file. So, don't let those problems block your improvement in getting to the top of Search.
Here's a video on how you can use Google Webmaster Tools to understand how your site performs in the Google search.
