Ranking Websites or Gaining Traffic

by SEOwned
4 replies
I just wondered if it's still worth spending my time to rank websites these days or find other ways to gain traffic to affiliate sites I set up?

I've stopped trying to rank or link build for the past 6 months due to so many Google Changes, I went from number 1 to nowhere for a fairly easy keyword, on a Exact Match Domain name.

I took me around a year to get there so I kinda gave up after this massive blow. In one year of learning how to build websites, rank websites, buying tools, WSO's, hosting, buying loads of domain names I made £170 in affiliate earnings and -£1000's in costs and fee's.

    Goggle zoo animals made affiliate sites impossible to rank. Especially for EMDs, unless the EMD is old and have authority. I recommend other marketing strategies such as social, list, etc.

    You should continue in this path but it should be a small percentage of the whole picture.

    You should also learn how to get videos on YouTube, how to do pay per click, solo ads, and placing classified ads on websites that do rank very high for very competitive keywords.

    Never put all your eggs into one basket. What happens if you drop that basket and you break all the eggs?

    Always test new ways of marketing your website.

    SEO is still a crucial part to a successful IM business imo, but it should not be your main focus. You are always going to want a consistent flow of search, direct, & referral traffic. I have found it much easier though to focus on article content & guest blogging. This will help will all 3 types of traffic and as you start ranking for keywords naturally you can start putting more emphasis on SEO. At least that's how I choose to go about it
