    Above you can see my site link. It's been up for around two months now and its doing alright. At one point I was getting about 400-500 PVs per day, but that's gone down a bit to around 200-300 average now. However, according to Analytics, I'm still getting a large percentage of my traffic from Google. I also get a big chunk of my traffic from my YouTube videos/channel which is doing pretty well.

    Anyways, I'm pretty new to SEO and I'm not too sure where to start or really what exactly I should be doing. I am not looking to spend any money on SEO, but rather use original, free methods even if they do require more work. I also do NOT want to do any Black Hat stuff. Anyways, here's what I have so far. Please post and tell me what I should add or remove from the list, or any general comments on my site and what I can do to improve the quality of the site, PVs, revenue, etc. Thanks!

    1. Begin writing guest posts on related blogs.
    2. Exchange links with relevant sites.
    3. Write some articles for Article Submission sites (not so sure about this one after Google's new update, still worth it for the backlinks?)

    As you can see, there's only three there. I am pretty much clueless on SEO so I need your help.

    Rubbish advice.
    Backlinks have nothing to do with SEO but with PR.

    Content of site is the only thing that works for Search Engines Optimization

    Get backlink from related niche site is great and better than non related site. Don't listen to those never tested the backlinks and claim like a pro.

    Focus on the content and build the content site around your niche.

    Good backlinks is less important than good content. You can have 1000 high PR backlinks but have only 2 words on your site, what is in it for the visitor?

    I do really think that my site has a lot of good content. Most of my competition in my niche has little content and most of it is low quality, yet they rank higher than me. My site IS new though, so I can understand.

    I have been trying to write content more consistently. I do expand my site I just need to write articles more often.

    Please keep the advice coming!

    Actually PR isn't that big a deal nowadays, quality backlinks still beats PR in rankings
