Great list but i think article submission and directories submission are old techniques and now google is punishing websites who have done that. These points should be removed from your list.
1. I agree with you Anurag.
  But article submissions and other so called blackhat techniques work well for ranking event blogs for a short time.
  But in long term, it definitely leads in penalization of your blog.
  
  Thanks for going through the list.
  
  Cheers.

thank you so much you provide such very valuable information I've struggled with trying to build backlinks I'm so grateful for this post and I'm going to link your your post from by blog to provide valuable information to my blog readers.
You are absolutely right on point with this post. One of the major questions I do received on a daily basis is ' do we really need backlinks to rank high on Google'; my answer to most people is yes.

Your blog post is an eye opener and I must commend the aspect on the 'The longer the content, the better the SEO' myth that has been going around for a while.

I do agree with you and Neil that longer content ( 1500 words and above) naturally performs well on Google rankings.
Hai akshay,

The above steps are explain short and sweet like you.. but i have one doubt? Without back-links, is it possible to get traffic to website?
