      Hello,

      I am thinking , I will rank my site without SEO .

      I will add quality content on my site . Will not do any backlinking ! Can anyone suggest me if it is really possible.

      I know some guys or some websites those are ranked without any SEO attempts.

      Thanks

        Hey,

        This would be a nice experiment I would say. Give it a shot and please do share the results here. Looking forward.

        IMO, linking from the external sources or inter-linking adds a lot of value from SEO perspective. Here, you're planning to not even consider these things for ranking. The SEO game has changed completely in last few years and today, its very difficult to rank in search engines without optimizing for them at all.

        I don't know how exactly you're planning to promote this content, whether you're incorporating UGC in your product or your basic SEO elements are optimized (meta tags, header tags, url structure etc.) while doing this experiment. But trust me, this is going to be a very very tough game. Good luck for it.

          Depends on what kind of terms you're competing for. You'll definitely not start ranking for keywords like: facebook and microsoft but if you start with very much long tail keywords having only awesome content should definitely be enough from time to time to start ranking.

              Hard to say until you try! 😉 And remember, if your content is good it will attract links, which is really the best kind of link building.

                Howdy businessowner,

                If you're targeting low competition/long-tailed keywords, you shouldn't have a problem ranking. However, if you're trying to obtain the number 1 spot I'd recommend looking for several link opportunities that would be easy for you to obtain. Having even just a handful of links to a page can really boost it up.

                Good luck, I look forward to hearing what happens.
