Iam owner of www.bloggersbasics.com, I always cared about content and never thought about seo until a guy approached me with his website www.prestigeiran.com and asked me to do seo for it. But i offered to do it for free just to do whatever i can and so iam here for your suggestions and tips. Hope i get solution.
Before anything else, I think you should do on-page optimization. Plan on what your site is all about and the keywords you are trying to rank for. Once it is done, then you can proceed to making more valuable content. My suggestion would be content with at least 2,000 words each. Needless to say, it should be 100% unique and engaging to readers. Then proceed to making backlinks. There are no backlinks yet to your blog as of this screenshot. The best way to build backlinks is build it slow but build it powerful. You can start by finding domains with High Domain Authority and High Page Authority and from the same niche as yours. PM me if this was helpful to you.
I would also like to know how your website managed without seo, or didn't you care of its rank? I think about you question Tortfeasor has answered it the best way possible. thanks
