    SEO - Is it really THAT important?

    Freelancers and SEO experts,
    We live in a world where SEO is as important as air to breathe. - High rankings, thousands of visitors and you'll quickly have a lucrative business or a passive income. - It sounds easy and honestly speaking, I don't think it's that hard to reach as long as you work towards realistic goals. That being said, it won't be as easy as it sounds. It never is.

    Anyhow, what I wonder is, if SEO is THAT important as everyone claims it to be?

    Let's say that I have other ways to bring traffic, potential clients and can generate sales even without SEO. - Let's say that I can bring all the traffic I need due to my advertising on various platforms and that I could potentially bring more traffic and generate more sales than I could possibly handle.

    This is obviously not the case, I'm just trying to come up with a decent scenario..

    So, with all that being said, would SEO be THAT important in such cases?


    Best Regards,

    I think SEO is seriously important for making sales. We all know that nothing is original anymore and everyone does something that is already being done. Its really hard to set yourself apart sometimes in certain niche markets. I think when you have good search engine optimization it helps you stick out of the crowd and generate more sales. If someone can generate sales without SEO and just use word of mouth i think that is great. Do i think they should avoid SEO because they are able to do that? Absolutely not i think having both will do them justice. I am a firm believer in if you have more visibility you have more chance of converting sales. Yes i think that SEO is one of the most important things when is comes to any kind of marketing affiliate or otherwise. This is an awesome topic thank you for sharing.

    Well the main goal anyone has at the end of everything is to make money, so if you can drive traffic to your website and make sales without implementing any SEO then your goal is achieved isn't it?

    However my personal opinion is that organic traffic from great rankings is the best kind of traffic you can get. So I would think why spend money and effort on banner advertising and social network marketing when you can put the same into SEO and most likely get better results.

    The other thing is that if you rely on social media marketing for example, well then you are relying on an outside website to bring in your traffic. What happens if that website goes bang? It can happen... and what happens if for example FB decides it doesn't like your links like it has done to SeoClerks? Or FB decides your page doesn't abide by their TOS and you wake up tomorrow and it is gone?

    Another thing to consider is that if you are relying on banner advertising or social media marketing you need to continuously be working on it. So if you are paying for a banner you will need to keep paying for that banner to get traffic, if you are posting on social media you need to keep on posting.

    Once your website is ranking and has really strong SEO then if you don't do anything for a week or maybe even a month, that traffic will still keep coming in.

    My belief is that everything should start with your website and anything else you do should support your website.

    This is not to say that SEO is that important because it depends on your objective. I agree that if you have lots of clients who are going to your site every day and they give you good traffic then that is fine. But if you want more traffic then you can resort to doing SEO work on your website to gain traffic from the search engines. One webmaster said that 60% of his site’s traffic comes from the search engines.
