Can anyone tell me why my articles don't get more views?
Because people aren't searching for poetry via search engines. To get more views you need to provide information that people are looking for.
Spend time at the Learning Center to improve your traffic.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VALUED ADVICE. YOU ARE RIGHT.
Because the vast majority of your articles are poems, which people don't search for nor read much these days. I am also struggling with getting traffic to my poems.
You need to, more or less, have good places to share them, which is much more difficult now than it was a few years ago, given that self-promotion is not allowed in most places.
You have two options. You can continue writing poems, find new creative ways to share them, and receive some traffic that way. Bear in mind that this will be very time-consuming and frustrating.
Your second option is to look into other niches that are more searchable by wider audiences and write poems occasionally – as a form of icing on the cake, highlighting your writing skills.
As others have said, if you seek views (and presumably earnings) then poetry is a non-starter.
You also need to get articles into the niches, Discover isn't generally much good for views and earnings and hp.com is useless.
You need to write informative, practical articles that attract search engine traffic.
