| Schema markup | Good | Organisation schema detected. Consider adding Article schema to blog posts. |
| llms.txt (AI search readiness) | Needs work | No llms.txt file found. AI search engines like Perplexity and ChatGPT cannot properly index the site content. |

These are high-volume supplement and health terms where competitors like Healthline, Examine.com, WebMD and FoundMyFitness rank on page one — but mthfrdiet.net has no content at all. Each one is a potential affiliate article driving recurring passive income.
These content clusters represent the editorial roadmap. Each cluster can anchor a pillar page with supporting supplement reviews and guides — and multiple affiliate revenue streams.
Six categories of issues are currently limiting the site's organic reach and affiliate revenue potential.
These barriers are all fixable. Together they explain why a site with genuine topical relevance — MTHFR is a real, well-searched health topic — is generating almost no organic traffic or affiliate revenue. The opportunity gap is large, and the fixes are well within reach.
A phased editorial and technical plan to build mthfrdiet.net into a high-traffic affiliate site.
Based on current keyword positions and the shortlist of 65 targeted keywords, moving the top 20 terms to page-one positions would deliver an estimated 2,500+ additional monthly visitors. At typical affiliate conversion rates, that represents $300–800 per month in passive affiliate income — growing as the content library scales.
This audit shows a clear path: fix the technical foundations, rewrite the existing articles, and build a library of targeted supplement roundups. The opportunity is large and the competition for MTHFR-specific content is low. Let's map out the next 90 days.
