Online Business

Yes, you can create a successful online business without SEO (search engine optimization). Here's why: there are tons of traffic generation methods out there!

Here is just a sample of promotional methods for online marketing:

• Article marketing
• Forum marketing
• Pay Per Click advertising
• Video marketing
• Blogs
• Squidoo
• Press releases
• Co-registration
• Email marketing

...and that is barely touching the surface! Combining just 2 or 3 of the above methods can easily send in hundreds of visitors per day to your sites.

And believe it or not, you can actually build an online business using purely offline advertising methods. These can include:

• Magazine ads
• Direct mail
• Radio
• TV
• Flyers

...and so on! In fact, offline advertising has been know to pull some really huge results although it can be a little costly. But if you want to build an instant business, there is perhaps no better way than to create a full-page ad in a popular magazine that is targeted to your niche market.

For example, if you have a product on weight loss for women, you can put an ad in Glamour or Cosmopolitan and start reeling in the traffic to your site. And if the ad is successful, you can keep running it again and again until it is no longer profitable. With magazine ads, you are essentially tapping on the massive subscriber base of the magazine!

That's just some 'unorthodox' ways that you can build an online business without even relying on SEO. That's not to say you shouldn't use SEO to build your online business...far from it; make it part of a wider marketing strategy.
