I have a doubt on ranking a blog. I am doing back links for a newly updated content for a keyword with search volume around 3k/month. I cant able to move above 60th position. Regularly im doing backlinks.
How to boost the ranking without guest posts.
Any ideas please drop your suggestions.

Have you optimize all the things like heading, alt, bugs, canonical, etc. I think you did not optimize it. First, optimize them then work on link building. It will surely help you.
