SEO without backlinks?

[aijing1314]

Are external backlinks a must?
Is it not likely to achieve high rankings with no one linking to your site?
I ask this because I don't see any practical way to get external backlinks.
Maybe I should also be asking how do you get backlinks without either trading or paying for them.

Even I don't do much of backlinking for my blog as well. I hate doing so since it is such of a burden to create backlinks for your blog. Thanks for the alternative by the way..

If your site is worth linking and worth the time to visit, people are going to definitely link to it. other than that, you can do SEO for it to build links for it and it does not require paying or buying links or link exchanges. if nobody is linking to your site, you probably might want to think about changing your content, upgrading your products or services, etc. etc.

You can also get high ranking in the search engines for good content even without backlinks But if you do backlinking with having fresh and quality content you will got more good results for your site.
