What Happened To Organic Traffic?

Hello Everyone,

I am concerned in the area of organic traffic. I have noticed that it is hard to gain targeted traffic without paying for it.

Is it still possible to gain unique, targeted, traffic organically? Or is organic traffic dead?

I have tried traffic exchanges, and as soon as I don't put enough hours in a day to it, the traffic stops. Is there anything better than traffic exchanges to gain traffic?

I understand that traffic and lead generation take time to build. I will spend money for traffic if need be, but just want to know if I really need to.

Thanks for Listening,
