Hi,

I have started a new website project where I post quality articles with over 2k words on average.

Currently, I have 13 posts and I publish 2 articles per week.

My new posts get indexed but only after about a week later. I have included my site in search console and also submitted a sitemap.

My site is 60 days old and I currently get around 1 visitor per day. Yes, it's too young but I guess my site is in the sandbox for being too young.

Nonetheless, do you know some white hat methods to get out of it fast?
I haven't done link building and don't plan to do it unless it is not white hat. I heard about people getting a lot of traffic with 0 linkbuilding. So far, this looks like a myth in my case but maybe I am dound something wrong...

Any suggestions or ideas?
 
If you can write clickbait titles for your content and post attention-grabbing header / preview graphics for each article, I'd suggest you create an FB page and post your stuff there.

Get crawled faster. Get nice social signals and, if you promote to the right groups in your niche, get some direct traffic.

To get backlinks organically, I'd find your niche's hashtags on Twitter, strip your content into questions and rotate your posts using posting software on Twitter
 
Just get few regular links to your site home page & few inner posts with brand, generic terms & raw urls as anchors to increase your domain authority. Meanwhile you keep adding more content. Within few months you will notice good improvements in rankings.

Link building strtategy will vary from site to site. Only your site need to get some authority to get rankings.
 
BTW, I already have an FB page, posted my articles there and even ran an ad to get real likes, now over 3k!

Yes, I knew you would say backlinks. My only concern is that it isn't white hat and thus causing risk for the future. I did this mistake in the past although I built a lot of shit backlinks which resulted in many penguin penalties.

Not again! I guess the safest backlinks are still guest posts. Or any other stuff you could recommend? Please no pbns either....
 
I wouldn't rush it honestly.

Built your social presence, get a few outreach links with branded anchors and traffic.

Justify the links with social signals.

Maybe a few blog comments here and there.

Then on 4th month hit it with PBN links and keep steadily building them.
 
Post an article per day, until you reach 100, then switch back to twice a week.
 
You should post something controversial or viral - something like a meme or some news that go against the flow - those would definitely draw attention - good or bad, and that's what differentiate a viral site from an ordinary site.
Over time, you'll find that those that really like what you post would stick, those that don't may stick to flame you, but these would still be your site's subscriber base at the end.
Or having something that benefits your readers would definitely funnel traffic from social media sites - If you purchased those likes, they aren't real traffic and won't do anything to your site. If you purchase like to a FB page, then that page may get ranked for a specific keyword on the SE, once you achieve a good amount of page like instead.
 
Did you do on page seo correctly? If yes, then do link building by white hat techniques. Do article submission, forum posting, guest posting, press releases, social bookmarking from websites having high DA.
 
You have a couple good answer, but the rest?

Ignore.

You are already have some social media presence. You have shares. You site is 69 days old.

If your keywords were easy enough, you would be ranked.

Google doesnt hate all link building. In fact, it suggests some. The goal is to provide value to the end user.

Redo your keyword research. Go after trlersm keyword revealer stated at under 9 and serp stat has under 10.

Keep working on social.

Guest post to home page.

And keep working.

It would be easier if you were willing to build links. But if you wont, this is your best bet.

PS. Even white hat sites get hit by google.
