Have I missed something? | SEO for a new site

OK guys. I have created a new site(blog) in health niche. My decision is to monetize it with Adsense. The site is created with wordpress and installed Wordpress SEO by Yoast, Contact form 7 and Akismet. So, I guess On Page SEO is ok by now.

I plan to add 10 articles each month and build backlinks to those articles.

I hope to build backlinks manually like this.

PER ARTICLE

40 Social bookmarks (25 Social Monkey bookmarks included.)
10 Forum Profile links
1 Article Directory links

For main domain

40 Social Bookmarks (25 Social Monkey bookmarks included)
50 Forum profile links
30 Article Directory links
10 gov, edu links (I guess they are difficult to get)
100 directory submissions

So, if I created backlinks for about 50 articles(5 months),

51*50=2550(for articles)

40+50+30+10+100=230(for main domain)

That's total of 2780 backlinks.

But my main competitor is a gov site and it has lots of backlinks including lots of edu and gov links. So, it is rather impossible to beat that site. But there is a blogspot site in 3rd position with only 4392 .com backlinks over 61 domains.

So, my target is to beat 3rd position.

What do you guys think? Will I be able to get better ranking than blogspot site with this plan?

If you have some other backlinking methods please include them too.

And thanks for reading this long post.

    Your backlinking method is okay for a low competition niche but it lacks any real "meat" so to speak.

    You need stronger backlinks if you hope to beat out sites in a highly competitive niche. 30 article backlinks will not cut it.

    Without knowing your niche, I'd say you have two choices. Either find a variation of the keyword you are targeting through keyword research that has less competition or create a stronger backlink strategy.

    If you want to find variations, Market Samurai is a great tool to do this.

    However, assuming you want to make a stronger backlink strategy here's what you should do.

    The most popular type of link building right now are distributing articles to high PR blogs.

    There are two popular ways to do this. The first is guest posting. This consists of emailing high PR blogs and asking them if you can post a blog on their site. If they say yes, you write a blog and send it to them to get posted.

    The other way is through high PR networks. These are more popular because they allow you to post on hundreds of high PR blogs without wasting time finding and emailing blogs. This way is much faster and easier although you will have to pay a subscription fee for access to most of these blogs.

    Either way, I'd suggest adding some type of high PR article link building to your strategy.

    Good luck!

    Yes, but you should work about 2+ months doing this.. Have more and more backlinks, because you are not sure what the blogspot owner will think when he see your website. You should reach 3rd place and STAY there
