is this normal for a news site.
Our website is having immensely low traffic; it does have a DA of 0.2 and is less than 6 months old. However, we have been optimizing our articles by SEO tips and maximizing KW usage, yet we feel something else is hurting our website traffic.
We have found lots of spam links on Ahrefs linking to our site, but I heard Google usually ignores those links. It's not like there's a way to prevent this, right?
We have also submitted a block list to Google to ignore spam links. What do you believe to be the issue here? Low DA, age of the domain. Can this still be considered to be normal?
Thank you for your help.
