I must say I am surprised that after 30 Articles in about three weeks, all with quality content, beneficial to the audience for life-changing strategies, and no self-promotion or of products either. 

So is this why I have a .07 CTR with 1,700 article views at an average of 100 per day? Literally 2 clicks out of 1,700 views. Is this because I don't have a product as a niche?

I thought people were tired of being sold to and offering true professional advice for free would be a welcome cause.
