First, make sure your sitemap.xml is exhaustive. Then, check the number of indexed pages in Google Webmaster Tool (after a couple of days if you had to update you sitemap). If few pages are indexed, go through this checklist at https://ligatures.net/content/expertise/site-not-indexing-ch... to fix possible issues. If your pages are still not displayed in search results, then you are likely another victim of a well-known chicken-and-egg problem for content based sites: you need links for ranking and you need ranking to attract links. Yet, most niche are saturated and you are likely crushed by competition. The only efficient way out is to obtain dofollow backlinks from sites/blogs which are: i) Not under your control (i.e., a forum profile link is under your control...) ii) Editorially reviewed iii) Have relevant topics to yours iv) Which are already trusted by Google v) Which are popular Other links won't make much of a difference.
