Non-SEO Traffic Generating Options Can Also Work For You
Many webmasters and blog owners strongly believe that the only way to real success has to be through the power of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). However the facts point in a different direction.
For starters numerous sites have become hugely successful by totally ignoring SEO.
Opt-in Email Lists Instead of SEO
Most successful sites that have ignored SEO have opted for email marketing using opt-in email lists. This is a very effective and instant alternative to SEO in generating targeted traffic to a site. It is possible to generate hundreds of thousands of hits from opt-in email lists and most of the time this traffic will tend to be even more targeted than traffic from search engines.
A little patience may be required in building up your opt-in email list, but there is a lot of information online that can help you build it up quicker.
Articles Instead of SEO
Well-written articles posted at popular article sites is yet another effective option to SEO that generates even more targeted traffic than both SEO and opt-in email lists. This method of generating traffic is ideal for a new site developing content as the content, as the same content can be used effectively as both content at the site and for generating traffic to the same site.
Interestingly articles loaded with links pointing back to a site that qualify to be valuable one way links can also be used as effective SEO tools.
Affiliate programs Instead of SEO
Probably the most famous example of a site that became hugely successful using affiliate programs is actually the site that invented this technique, Amazon.com. Today this site is huge, and it all happened using this effective SEO alternative. It still works for many sites on the net and helps draw huge amounts of non-SEO traffic.
Conclusion
SEO techniques have been known to require quite a lot of patience before they start working. There is nothing wrong with a site initially using non-SEO techniques to attract traffic even as they wait for their SEO strategy to start taking effect.
On the other hand, with the unpredictability of search engines these days, it is also a wise move to totally rely on the non-SEO methods for generating traffic that have been listed here.
