My new health site with "no" backlinks

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I built a health site earlier this month and created 1 relevant backlink, just to get the site crawled. I had previously stated I wouldn't build backlinks, just good content with long tail keywords.

The site was crawled but not indexed. I was getting some traffic - around 18 visitors a day from the search engines. Then I realized the backlink I had built was a no-follow, so I wrote a Street article to get a couple of do-follow links. I'll leave it at that and see what happens.

I'm just doing this out of curiosity to see what happens. I have had a couple of Pinterest links from visitors so will just keep adding posts and making sure my internal link structure is sound and my on-page SEO is good.
