Nope. Getting high-volume web traffic doesn’t always mean that you need to rank in the search results.
It’d be great if you ranked, of course, but there are several methods that you can use to get bajillions of website visitors without using the search engines.
If you’re sick and tired of running the SEO race, and you’re looking for possible alternative methods that you can use to generate traffic, then Neil Patel’s blog post is what you need.
As usual, Neil goes in-depth with his guide, sharing several tips on how marketers and business owners can generate traffic without SEO.

3. Social Media Strategy in 8 Steps
Regardless of how long you’ve been in the social media scene, you probably can’t help but overcomplicate or oversimplify your social media marketing strategies.
Doing either or both can be harmful to your business, of course.
That is why it pays to have a guiding compass of some sort that you can peg your social media marketing strategies on to make sure that your process and sales funnels are A-OK.

Well, this post published by Jordan Kasteler can help you with just that — integrating your SEO efforts with your social media marketing strategy, I mean.

If you’re oblivious about how social media marketing works, and you’re looking for a comprehensive guide on how to establish your social media presence the right way, then Kevan’s guide is what you need.

The thing is, if you want to succeed in your social media marketing endeavors, then you need to cope with the industry’s ever-changing landscape.
However, since the internet has a whole ocean of crappy content disguised as “expert tips,” I understand that figuring out which tips are legit, and which ones aren’t can be quite tricky.
Well, that’s why you need to read Richard’s guide. :)
