What SEO is working for you 2018+? Can you rank up new sites today as easy?

Some people ask me what SEO is. In as little words as possible I tell them it's the process of ranking up a website in Google so that it ranks number 1 or as close as possible to number 1 ranking position as possible.

And when it comes to SEO and ranking a site up using SEO it's still the same today as it has been then. You still have to do SEO on that site to get it ranked up, ranking higher, number 1 or as high as possible.

But obviously SEO and what it means has changed and evolved over the years. And the main pattern and emphasis has always been on quality and relevance. Where quality and relevance is the type of "backlinks" you have.

Basically showing that Google has and always probably will use the backlinks you have in its ranking algorithm. Though we know today that it also looks at on-page SEO as well. But your backlinks and "social signals" are counted as a "ranking factor".

And of course, every site, in any niche, needs its own unique SEO and SMM in order to get that site ranked up in the SERPs. It needs its own good on-page SEO, something that's usually sorted with a lot of great unique content in your niche.

Are SEO Backlinks even needed to rank up a site in the SERPs?

In fact, some people swear down that they rank up sites in the SERPs using nothing but sheer content only. Without even building backlinks. By just focusing on on-page SEO (content) only, they are able to rank up sites in time without even needing to do any off-page SEO or SMM at all.

You can find those guys videos on YouTube was watching it the other day. Search "how to rank sites without backlinks" on YouTube for the videos. This is one of them from some bloggers that rank up websites without ever building any backlinks.



OMG rank up websites without building backlinks!? Then what have I been building backlinks for this whole time right!? Don't get me wrong or take this out of context, while it's still possible to rank up sites without any off-page SEO (backlinks/SMM etc), for those sites that you don't have a lot of content on, such as few page stores, landing pages, etc, you can rank them up using SEO (backlinks/SMM etc). It's just that you can also do it without too it depends which route you want to go! What SEO is working for you 2018+? Can you rank up new sites today as easy?

So there's a lot of benefits to SEO backlinks of course. And as SEO has evolved, the SEO you can do has too which comes in many different ways, formats, shapes and means from simple guest posts to more.

As for me these days I am finding that niche related guest posts are working well as well as signals from high traffic blogs and sites like Reddit, Quora, Yahoo Answers from quality answers which also drives targeted traffic works best but it takes time and you have to do it professionally but they provide some good links with juice and traffic so you can't go wrong!

What seems to be working for me is creating profiles on community sites that have a good reputation and a good ranking and within that profile bio about myself including links to my websites and blogs to redirect traffic.

Being more active on social media, not just sharing my links but sharing the links of others and making genuine relevant comments seems to be working as well. I found a comment accidentally via a Google search. That's when I realized commenting was important.

Posting to the Google Plus social network with proper hashtagging seems to be a good content strategy.

Is this response relevant to the discussion?

Being active in social media is imperative for freelancers because social media is having your own network of people that you can later utilize for your work. Since I have a full time job in the office and add to that my part time freelancing work that leaves me with very little time in social media. Maybe when the time comes that I retire from my office job then I will be indulging more in social media.

I have heard people say backlinks does not matter to rank your website on search engines. like you said it depend on the niche. The guy that rank his site on google without backlinks did it for the knife niche But in my own opinion quality backlinks,SMM still works.

What remains to be the best factor in rankings is a regular supply of Good Interesting Quality Content. If you have it then you have accomplish 7/10, a good social media presence 1/10, other SEO 1/10. So basically having good content is the surest way to boost your site.

Definitely, no amount of promotion will give you success and a guaranteed audience if your content is poorly done in the first place. Always focus your efforts first on improving the quality of your services or content before moving onto ads or SEOs.

I think your website should provide goods, services, or content that a web searcher using only a specific keyword. Having relevant content increases the chance people will stay and interact with your website and it will help you to increase your rank.

I see you shared the video by income school off of YouTube I also follow them and give great advice. Backlinks are good but content always wins hands down. The more articles you write blog posts the better.

For me forum posting the article sites where I can put the backlink. That is the only formula working out for me all those years. I have seen other ways for earning. But so far nothing of value as such. So I am working harder on this part and hoping to be changing in some ways there. Hopefully I can find more ways to backlink and get some traffic. SEO on it's own hasn't changed much.

I think being able to use backlinks is one of the best ways to rank your site. I may be wrong about this but I think it is probably one of the best ways to be able to rank your site. What do others think? Obviously, good quality content is the most important thing, but backlinks rank right up there as well.

I personally think that building up through backlinks is still the way to go, but of course, you can find other ways to rank up your sites. You also have to be updated with the current events, for example right now advertising through Facebook may not work out as well due to the recent controversy.

What would happen if you did a lot of backlinks but you have shitty content, let's say you're a blogger or someone selling products and you have good SEO and has a lot backlinks but not so good products or blog content, what would happen next?

The only way backlinks wouldn't be helpful in one's ranking is when they are not of high quality. This is the major mistake most people do, for trying to build too many backlinks, they would create a useless one that wouldn't impact positively on their site. But when you have just 2 good quality backlinks, they are definitely going to help with your site ranking.

I began writing on Hubpages in 2010. By 2012, I had published hundreds of articles on hubpages and over a dozen articles appeared on the top ranks on Google. Quite a few were even on the #1. Interestingly, I did not know what exactly was SEO. IN 2013, I attended 6 months intensive apprentice program on Hubpages and learned about SEO. When I knew about SEO, I did an SEO audit of my articles and discovered why my articles were ranked high.
The articles were on less competitive niche
The articles used long tail search terms in the title and the body.
The articles had primary and secondary keywords.
I believe you can rank on Google with well written contents. You don't even need backlinks. However, in order to get ranked on search engines without other SEO strategies, you need to produce well written contents that are not only unique but also interesting.

I have to agree that you can get a good ranking in the search results list if you have high quality contents. Uploading high quality contents frequently can continuously improve the ranking of your website even if you don’t use keywords or you don’t promote your website with the backlinks and in bookmarking sites. However, if you have the time to spare, it is still good sense to promote your website in the internet and also use keywords whenever possible.
