Is there a chance for a site to survive without SEO ?

I think the title talks by it self


Is there a chance for a site to survive without SEO ???

 

of course there is, there is a thing known as offline media. Get into other things and you can still do well or if the site is THAT good, it could sell itself

 

Of course! SEO isn't the end-all-be-all in the world of internet marketing. There are tons of ways to garner traffic from the varies corners of the web.

 

Like what other ways? (easy ones?)

 

- Email Marketing
- Contests
- Advertise offline - magazines, newspapers, TV, other media forms
- Advertise online - forums, highly-trafficked sites, highly-targeted sites

There are tons more; I'd suggest doing some searches in GOOG.

 

Yes, I'd also like to know because if there is then I'm wasting my time with SEOing my site

 

If the competition is too high SEOing is USELESS

 

Keep up the SEO if your site has good content or great content people will automatically want to link to you.

 

Well without SEO and Marketing, how is anyone going to know that?
It's not like a billion people are just sitting around waiting for YOU to get your site launched.
How will you tell them that you are there?

 

Of course.
Let's say you find a very rare unexploited niche.
Not much SEO is required in that case

 

Why WOULDN'T you want traffic from SE's? If you have money to spend on marketing, SEO is pretty cost effective...

 

It all depends upon the situation. there has a lot of things that you need to consider, like for instance, what is your site all about? who is your competitors? is your site competitive enough and not need SEO'ing? that is why SEO is here for your site to survive..

 

I agree on that.. make an SEM campaign if you don't want SEO.. I'm pretty sure you will get a high traffic as well as build the reputation of your site..

 

seo is one of the ways of getting visitors to your site but you must have a good budget to be alive without seo
