CopyBlogger has a point when he says you should not rely on it. Diversification is key as is increasing the quality of your traffic.

It's credibility for those that need it. I agree though, focusing only on Google isn't really beneficial. I use RaSof to determine how the big three search engines are viewing my sites. Then I make sure that the people finding me and the message I am sharing are congruent. Promoting for Google or any other search engine specifically is not as useful if the people finding your site using that search engine aren't sticking around.

The more Google slapped me around the harder I tried to please them but sometimes there is just no pleasing them. Once that became clear in my mind my business started moving forward because at that point I started relying on social networking and bookmarking. That is when my traffic started to grow and things started happening for my blogs. I still optimize my pages for search engines but I am not fanatical now. :) I stopped relying on Google sometime ago but it took the help of a good friend and client to open my eyes.

They are all so obviously fake as your posts are as transparent as ever and the only question i have is why you continue to pump out awful content? And how much you pay per comment...

I should probably remedy that. If I lost google as a traffic source I would lose about 70% of my visitors. I should probably remedy that.

James Brausch has a Intern Program that taps into the social sites as well as blogs for traffic.

I see search engine traffic as an added source of traffic and will definitely mess with it to lose that portion of traffic. Most of my traffic are from social media and referrals from other blogs since I enjoy commenting so much.
