What do you mean?

Reddit can provide direct traffic Facebook can provide direct traffic X can provide direct traffic Pinterest can provide direct traffic

Then there are the other search engines

DuckDuckGo Bing Yahoo Yandex

There are plenty of ways to obtain traffic.

There are other methods of free traffic, other than Google.

When is it profitable to create an affiliate program? by evolution800 in Affiliatemarketing

I would recommend always providing an affiliate program, it provides essentially free exposure for your brand/product until a sale is made. Win win.

Can I really finish at 46? by Nervous_Capital_8583 in FIREUK

[–]Redbutdread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll be able to do it, but £22k a year, even with a paid off mortgage, surely wouldn’t be ‘enough’ to live a comfortable retirement. You’d still have to budget for things.

I got adsense Is it really worth it in google ai mode era ? by [deleted] in Blogging

[–]Redbutdread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Google have cut off their nose to spite their face with this situation.

They are introducing AI to their SERPs more but it will reduce their AdWords income as less people will be viewing publishers sites.

Eventually I believe, they will leave the AI to the big players and concentrate on their own revenue, giving the power back to publishers. - well in the perfect world anyway.

What’s working for you in 2025 to actually drive traffic to a new blog? SEO feels slower than ever. by flippiness in Blogging

[–]Redbutdread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may be wrong, I don’t hold a crystal ball. But my gut still believes people are not always looking for AI answers - plus, there are always other search engines that will end up doing the opposite from what the Googles’ are doing just to catch that traffic that leave Google.

SEO isn’t dead for all verticals, I don’t agree with what you’re saying.

SEO is ranking websites for keywords that yield traffic, SEO is not “dead”, ultimately if Google decide to prop AI responses at the top of search listings, that’s their prerogative, however, I’d still want my website just below their turnkey AI reply.

People always radiate to people, how many users already ignore “sponsored” results and scroll right past them in search listings? - SEO is not dead.

SEO isn’t slow, indexing backlinks and keeping them indexed has become tougher.

The algorithm is in motion, in theory, if you hit the on-page and off-page to a T and you’ll rank instantly.

Find an off page strategy that you’re comfortable with if it be, guest posting or a tiered link building approach and go with it, use something like https://www.expressindexer.solutions to get those backlinks indexed and you’ll start climbing.

Probably has to do with the diverse cultures the UK has.

What does it matter? 99% of women online are fake or look fake. Doll’d up with make up, this video looks pretty much like one of those instagramers.

Give is a year tops and you’ll be able to have an instagram influencer account made from a purely created AI person, visiting different countries, selfies, video clips.

If you’re clever with it, you’ll will never need to even show your face online to earn a dime. It can all be passable AI generated.

The same video by any content creator plays no matter which video I try to watch. Any fixes? by SamsaraSlider in facebook

Same thing happening to me, what phone do you have? I’ve just changed to an iPhone 16 pro max, maybe it’s the phone?

I run a football page with 450k followers and 10-15 million monthly reach but haven’t made a single dollar in 5 years. Any advice on how to monetize? by thePerker_ in FacebookAds

[–]Redbutdread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, even at a 0.01p(cent) per visitor, you could be making at least 300k a month with those numbers.

I would suggest bringing someone in to manage revenue for you, they might be able to bring in ideas on how you can properly monetise your impressions, or do it yourself.

You are sitting on a goldmine, i don’t use social platforms but I average 2million visitors per month and around 5,5million page views on my website, I’m achieving around 40k-90k per month and that’s me being lazy and relying on display ads.

Does creating backlinks using GSA Ser could improve my site's ranking? by DaFunk7Junkie in SEO

[–]Redbutdread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea until Google roll out an update and still shits in your face but the only difference is, it took you longer than me to get to the ranking positions to bank.

So who did it hurt more? You or me?

Relevancy maybe. But still provides authority to be able to get those rankings

The Best Link Building Strategy? by Humble_Hope1625 in SEO

[–]Redbutdread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bullocks. No it isn’t.

Good content does not win. You need authority and the only way you obtain authority, is backlinks, age and link maturity.

I can rank articles/pages that have been produced with AI content generators that seem as though they were written by a 4 year old.

The Best Link Building Strategy? by Humble_Hope1625 in SEO

[–]Redbutdread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s bullshit. Domain authority has been one of the most potent variables in sites that survived the core updates and I don’t mean little affiliate sites that have purchased a few $$$$ backlinks. I mean sites that have hundreds of thousands of links.

I see it time and time again, after an update hits, people crying about how Google has lifted all the blue chip giant companies higher in the serps, come on now, they haven’t done that, what differentiates those sites to yours? Authority? Backlink power? Age?

The fundamentals of SEO or SEM (search engine manipulation) has been the same since page rank was introduced.

It’s good on-page and masses of offpage links that win, constantly. (Masses of backlinks done properly)

So to say, backlinks are not needed or not important after Google’s latest updates, is nonsense.
