I just started a new niche blog and have been posting 3-5 new articles daily. Each article I have written is unique and the keywords are placed high in the article. Will this help me get highly ranked on google sooner rather than later? What else should I be doing?
good content combine with building quality links would help you to boost your ranking but it needs work
All these you do can make sure your pages are high qulity,but you also need high quality backlinks,the more the better.
You'll get traffic if you used correct keywords, But it will take time to get top position in Search Engine Result.
You should submit your article to those high-quality webs. Of course, the quality of content is very important!
If you are posting genuine and keyword rich content then definitely your serp will be improved, Do one thing whenever you post new article bookmark it to popular bookmarking sites.
Build backlinks, leave comments on similar blogs, submit to blog directories, ask your friends to tweet or like your blog, etc. Doing all these will increase visitor traffic and boost your income.
Do some SEO such as forum posting, blog commenting, posting on Social bookmarking sites.....................
get links from higher ranked sites, they must be dofollow, else you'll not get any benifit from nofollow links, I have a tip for you : Instead of writing 5 article's daily on your blog write 2 on other domains and put a link back to your site. You can use ezinearticles, squidoo, hubpages to get back links. Or do some guest posting and put some dofollow links in their post.
