    if your content is good enough that others want to link to and give you credit, then yes.
    it doesn't hurt to do extra article/video/social marketing imo; your quality content would spread a lot quicker that way

    Hi,

    In my own experiences, on page and off page optimization are organic entirety. You also need to increase back links to your site and pages with your targeted keywords as anchor text stably.

    all the best,

    Depends how competitive your keyword is. If its a highly competitive one, I bet you won't. This is not a matter of luck, everybody is doing it so you should try to do more than what they do, the ethical way of course. Though it's a good move. My advice, study the competition and seek opportunity on your behalf.

    I don't think good content alone is enough, think of your website as a shop, with all the nice products and services on offer, no matter how fantastic the bargains, if no one comes to the shop you won't make any money, which is where backlinks tend to bring traffic i.e. customers

    if you target long tail keywords in a small niche you might success in ranking without too much link building

    HELL no. you can have the best site in the world and it will sit undiscovered for years.

    in 1995 they used to do that. doesn't happen anymore. it's a different ballgame.

    plus they won't find the site in the first place. it will be buried by a million other sites who have crappier content but are pushed by linkbuilding or whatever.

    even if they do find it they won't read any content. 99.9% of sites have crappy filler content so most people assume that ANY verbiage is crappy filler content. they will zip through your site looking for a place to leave a comment for their own linkbuilding, and leave your site without having read anything more than the title.

    Plenty of off the mark opinions here, so thought i would add my 2 cents into it.

    Being able to rank well within search engines is not simply about the SEO work that you put in nor the fact that you are posting 3-4 times a day, you need to have a balance.

    Creating content for your website is not only vital but the way in which websites are designed to work, so adding 3 posts from day one, leaving it and then simply plugging away at SEO and link building will be of no benefit for you.

    Working only on content without any SEO work will prove to be much harder to rank with but is not impossible, i run a football news network and do no link buying (i refuse to do so) and send out only a minimum of link exchange requests. At the end of the day, if your content is liked by other webmasters, they will link to it for you without you needing to push them on it.

    A great example is that i have 2 posts which have been linked from a PR6 homepage by one of the biggest football news sites on the internet, think clean, direct and unique content and you should be fine.

    Without marketing, good content is almost useless.

    Unless you market it, nobody will be able to find or read your content, however good it might be.

    It is pretty rare, but it can be done. You just have to be willing to wait at least a year or two.

    With good content you can get some good SERPs, but you will keep that position just for a small period of time.
    Try adding SEO to your daily article basis and this may result in a better result.

    Good luck!
