    i have a friend who donot even know what is link exchange,keyword reserch or SEO ....
    He just like Technology stuff . So he just write his views on technology on his blog (normally 3-4 posts a week).
    last day he shown me his stats and i was wondering he was getting like 50 to 100 visits daily from search engine on his tiny tech blog ....
    how come ? i checked his blog it has no link exchange and he did no keyword reserch ?

    can writing regularly/posting on any niche without link exchange or keyword research may give you success ?:confused:

    So let me get this straight, your friend writes regular interesting blog posts on a subject he is passionate about and his website is doing well?

    Amazing.

    Hey, I do the same thing, and now I get almost 300 uniques/day

    if SEO is the only thing drawing people to your site, they won't come back...

    wel unique content is a factor of seo, and the blog is probably a year or few years old which helps too

    And 50-100 unique visitors is not a large number. :)

    There are other forms of internet marketing apart from SEO, I'm getting around 400 uniques a day to one site that has practically no search engine traffic whatsoever as it's still sandboxed.

    This is espacially true if you've got a good site as people will tend to link to it, post it in forums, on blogs and tell people about it. In some ways your friend is doing the best kind of internet marketing - link baiting.

    Sounds like my blog I started a couple of months ago, except mine's about making money and becoming a millionaire. Avg about 2 posts a week. The only promo I did was tell my friends and have it on some forum signatures. :cool:

    I think its too less for the unique content.... And if he's a good writer he deserves more than this...

    Well.. This is just another example for, "Do things originally and simple."

    Unique content and regular posts helps his site. I bet, if he continues posting, his Uniques will keep growing gradually.

    No surprises. I have seen some other sites doing well without SEO.

    Similar fact here. I reached much bigger numbers without seo. But if you want bigger bigger numbers, you need seo..

    I think content will always be king. They can keep you sucessfull even some SEO techniques you applied becomes useless in the future! So in my opinion if you will invest money to your sites, the spending priority is as follows:

    1. content
    2. development/programming (e.g. adding new features)
    3. link building

    Of course doing all of them at the same time is the best..
