*Complete* SEO newbie asking stupid questions

Quick background: Selfclaimed BH PPC affiliate master.
BH PPC scene is kinda shaky atm for me so I've decided to start some white hat, steady, passive biz - amazon associate.

Got research done for targeted KW.
Made basic organization of categories and plans for 30 next KW to target - some informative articles, some buyers guides.
Bought theme, AAWP, few other plugins to help me out, hired a programmer to help me with custom WP things.
First 2 articles are delivered and formated, next 6 incoming next week. 7 info articles, and 1 money article in total.
"Discourage search engines from indexing this site" is checked on.
I'm using Rank Math SEO.

Important note: I've no idea about SEO, only from reading this forum - but I want to do only and only pure white hat techniques.

Once all those articles are live, what the fuck should I do?
Is PBN always bad? Social signals from services here?
Backlinks from site directories?

Any suggestion is good.
Thanks.

- send it to your friends (maybe ask for feedback)
- post the link in SM groups/channels to gain your first traffic
- a bunch of site directories should be fine
- use ahrefs / semrush / majestics and look at the backlink-sources from your competitors, try to get some of them too.
- make some smaller cpc campaigns on google / fb / instagram to buy traffic
- take a look of your analytics data are bounce rates, engagements fine?

PBNs will always be a blackhat technique. But, if you have good links from PBNs that arent $1/$2 PBNs then you should be good most of those should be for Tier 2 links.

Social Signals are good and they are virtually spam free.

Those are tricky. I'd use the free ones for Tier 2 links and the paid ones for T2/T1 links

what is the best way to find how many person are typping your keyword into google search ?

Sorry to burst your bubble but SEO is now filled with guesswork because Google hides the most important data.

Yes, there are conjectures to be drawn from ranking data but what worked for one site might not work for another.

Read some of the postings, apply the concepts and analyze your results. It is still possible to get guaranteed top rankings if you have a HUGE BUDGET at your disposal.

1 - Start out by buying and using an old-established niche relevant domain. (Expect to pay $2,000 plus, for one with decent metrics)

2 - Publish content that is worthy of sharing. (At least, expect to pay about $20 or more per thousand words)

3 - Get links from very hard to get sources. (You need links from places like the NYTimes,- From $2,000 and up, Latimes- from $1,500 and up, JPpost- from $850 and up, etc)

Lastly, learn to pray, speak it into existence, or just plain old black magic, because of Google Bitchiness.

Thanks guys, I even forgot that I posted this here, but all of your advices are useful.
Meanwhile, I took a course of Kyle Roof, and got a lot of info.

Can't do PPC campaigns, since it's amazon affiliate site (not submitted for approval yet, but still can't).

I'm not thinking about doing backlinks just yet. Site is still work in progress.

Got ahrefs and moz.

One question:
By "T2 links", you mean on web2 links or what exactly?

Build a strong social profile.

After 5-6 months start talking niche relevant backlinks one by one not thousands at a time.

Pure White hat method

check The free backlinks source here in bhw use it
and try guest posting for get the link and if you have money go for nich edit backlink

did you find the keyword or you just write the content and post it ?

I don't have a problem with working a lot.

Working on socials. Getting designs ready for IG and Pinterest atm. Why waiting that long? Is there a reason or you just think that's enough time to build decent content?
