Hello, I want to build sites and then flip them using autoblogs. In order to have the sites earn some money prior to the sale I need traffic. But google panda will make SEO problematic. Is there a way of getting free traffic to my blog without using SEO. My tentative plan is to build 4 sites each month so I do not wish to spend too much time building traffic for each site. Also I need to earn reasonably quickly within the next two months so the my traffic efforts should see result quickly. Thanks for your help. warm regards Nikhil
I recommend to build one successful site then having 4. It will be harder for you to flip these sites if you dont show any traffic, or sales, which is why people buy websites as investments from the start. Now moving on to your other question. Can you get free traffic without seo? Sure, why not, it can be from promoting in person at certain functions, or major events. If your trying to do it offline, try talking to an local event coordinator and see if you can contribute something while presenting your site. As for SEO, I do recommend learning this, because this is more effective then anything you will do. This can be more traffic, then converting traffic to sales.
well before developing your site you should atleast a basic knowledge of SEO. SEO is very important to get organic traffic i.e traffic from search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN etc
By doing what you're doing now. Posting in niche-related forums is a pretty good way to get steady traffic.
If you post in forums to drive traffic, this should be explained to the person purchasing the site. A site that is getting traffic from forums will not be as nearly in demand than a site getting traffic from proper SEO. I learned this the hard way early in my career.
SEO in the Internet is like advertising on TV. How do you even expect to get traffic if no one knows about your website existence? If you do not wish to spend a time on SEO just hire someone or find a partner that will do the job.
The best alternative to the SEO is SMO (social media optimization). You can get success with the social media platforms like facebook, twitter (and others).
You may want to consider rethinking your resistance to SEO if you want to make money by flipping websites. Your sites will be much more valuable if they rank well in the search engines! Getting traffic from other places helps too - after all, it's not an either/or. But do consider learning some SEO basics, It's not really rocket science, and not as much work as you may think if you do good keyword research before you even buy the domain name.
Without doing SEO and without buying ads for traffic you probably wont get any decent amount of Traffic to these 4 sites to be able to Flip them. I agree what others have said, Build 1-2 instead of 4 and do some good SEO on those for 4-6 weeks and then you may get good free organic traffic in the future which will help you sell them for more.
If you have good design and your site was develop search engine friendly, your site have the chance to rank and get traffic well. One thing more is the catchy contetn of your site will drive traffic without SEO. But the best thing is, with the catchy content of your site, you must do SEO in order to double or triple your traffic.
