Step 1 Content, stuck on step 2
- SEO |
Hello all,
I'm really new to SEO and have tried searching the forums... but am not coming up with anything so even if your answer is just the correct term to search I'd be much obliged.
I have a site I've been running paid traffic to for a year selling products. I also have a lot of unique quality content (hired a professional writer, it's good quality work) that's on the site in the form of a blog, reviews, Q & A's, etc. Overall we're doing pretty well as far as SEM goes (quality scores, cpm, etc.).
But I'd like to work on building up our organic traffic. Looking at competitors, we're doing everything technically the same, but have a lot more unique content, but aren't nearly as old/established. We're working on trying to get our writer to guest post on major blogs and working on helping out some of the product companies directly with marketing and they'll link to us. But that's a lot of work (which we're fine doing), but I don't really see any of our competitors doing any of that.
So I guess my question is, are we on the right track? Is there something more we can do? I've read constantly "don't buy backlinks or article submissions"... or pretty much anything on Fiverr xD. Is there a good, legitimate source that we can trust with helping us with our SEO? Or is what we're doing, contact by contact the extent of what we can do, and should consider hiring someone part time to work more aggressively at getting our writer's stuff onto other sites?
Thank you for your replies!
