Quality Content always help to build your website's authority and gives your better ranking in Search Engines. So believe to post quality content.

Hi there!

Ranking in search engines helps in driving traffic but it is not everything. Social media networks and direct relationship building are as important as rankings. In every niche, you can find blogs and people who wants to feature your articles. If your niche is very weird such that no one is willing to blog about it then it is surely not a niche that can get you profits. It would be really helpful if you can share your niche here with all the details so we can help you better.

As you were too general in your post, i am not so sure how much of marketing you did. In short though you need the following:

[ Part 1 - The Obvious Stuff ]

1. High Quality Content.
2. Impressive Attractive Website Design.
3. Speed - Your whole site must load up in less than 3 seconds.
4. Security - Make sure all your pages, dashboard and server are properly secured.
5. On-Page Optimization: All your pages must be optimized.

[ Part 2 - Link Building ]

Relying on those links that comes naturally to your blog because of your quality content can be a time consuming task - and sometimes it does not work even. A better approach is for you to give a push at the start then let it go naturally on its own. Building links is a big topic but mostly every niche has its own unique ways of getting quality links. The common techniques tells you to keep everything diversified, natural and of high quality. It is always advised as well to get your links from relevant websites. In addition to that, keep in mind that it is about quality not quantity.

It is also recommended to stay away from automated link building programs, cheap Fiverr link packages and stuff like that. Building a private blog network still works well as long as you take care of it. Hiring reputable SEO agencies also tend to help at the start of your campaign if you have the right budget for that. Check the end of this post for free tutorials if you are new to link building.

[ Part 3 - Social Media Marketing ]

If you are doing social media marketing properly, it works on its own without even thinking about Google. I have seen so many businesses relying solely on SMM and generating great profits every month. Among all social networks and media sites, focus on the following:

Facebook Ads: Publish Facebook ads regularly and optimize them based on your niche.
Google+ Marketing: Building a group, a business page and engage with your fans.
Twitter Marketing: Tweet regularly your quality content and use proper relevant hash tags.
Youtube Marketing: Publish videos and optimize them properly.

[ Part 4 - Buying Ads ]

Although this sounds like an old technique, but getting your ad published around really help in driving traffic as long as your ad is published on a reputable authority and popular website. Google ads, Bing ads, ads on popular websites all help in driving traffic. Just keep in mind that the more the relevant the site is the better. Stay away from suspicious sites and those websites of low quality including web directories.

Those are the basics mainly. If you can share with us more details about your niche, that will help us in writing a better feedback for you.

[ The Answers To Your Questions ]

Q1). What is the second most important thing to do after getting quality links?
A1). Focus on social media marketing, it is truly amazing and gets you real results.

Q2). I heard going to articles directories is a dead end so I'm staying away from that, can anyone recommend the next step?
A2). Article directories does not help much anymore in terms of rankings. However, they do help if the published articles get some direct traffic. Remember that marketing is not just about links and rankings. The next step, is to focus on SMM and continue what you are doing. It really takes long time to get a good level of authority. So stay patient.

Q3). Is building multiple websites considered a helpful process?
A3). I would not recommend you to jump and build so many websites in the same niche. Try to focus on one, building relations, increase its authority and it will work out. Building multiple sites require lots of work and a big team to work with you if you want to keep a high level of quality content around.

What is your blog about then buddy?

Social bookmarking is good way to get quality backlinks.

Yes may be I will reliable but I don't think that anyone can appear on Google's first page with high competition keywords......

For ranking one site, you are using just one site.... it doesn't look natural..... Google will easily see that your all pages are linking to just one site, and it will take action further.

Reach out to blogs in niches related to yours. Tell them about your content and request for links. If there are no blogs in related niches, you may have to build the backlinks you need to rank yourself. Start with web 2.0 links and build a PBN if you can afford it.

Unfortunately, no matter what anyone tells you, you cannot rank well without backlinks. Backlinks are still that important in the algorithm.

There's very little on the web that you really can't find any way to generate a decent looking backlink to.

Amazon is e-Commerce and have millions of backlinks, many from marketers like us who link to specific product pages regularly.

Don't out your niche, this is more of a rhetorical question...but what on earth do you have, that people would search for (hence the need for SEO and ranking) that nobody would ever write about it or put a link to it?

If nobody will give you backlinks you have to create them yourself. Ranking without links can work if there really is no competition. I have an Amazon site in a somewhat weird niche that has about 20 page one rankings without a single backlink. Many of them are even number #1 because nobody is targeting those terms. Works great. Downside is of course that there is not much traffic and the site hardly makes 50 bucks per month - not worth the initial effort put into it at all.

PBNs are still the way to go if you want to build links yourself, even after Google's hit. There was most likely a lot of manual action involved, so it was not algo based. As long as it's not algo based the average Joe who only runs a small, well covered network will most likely be perfectly safe because there are much bigger fish to catch for big G.

There are lots of courses out there on how to do that as well as tons of free info. I'd recommend to dig into that and to start a small network.
