Is SEO enough to get you traffic to earn decent money online?

As I’m trying to monetize my domains right now, one thing that really concerns almost all web masters is how do we get more traffic. We all believe that more traffic equals more clicks which means more revenue, so making money online is pretty much down to traffic and then how you want to make money out of it. But the question is if SEO can get us enough traffic to earn decent money or do we need to advertise?…

… The answer is not really too straight forward, on one end you can get good traffic without advertising and purely SEO, but on the other end, you could be getting traffic but not enough to make yourself an online living from it.

– Decent money thru SEO traffic? –

Personally, I believe that SEO can get enough traffic if you have a domain keyword that has high searches and low competition; while having a large competition can only lead to not being seen in the search results. What I found with my domains is that those keywords that are unpopular online but with high searches rank really highly that you instantly make money when SEO picks up, these are mostly made up of 2 or more word domains. While the ones that have a larger competition would need more link building and time for it to pick up and get indexed. I’ve had my ROI in a month or two for those with domains that are unpopular.

SEO have made some of my domains profitable in a few weeks and some can take a year or more. I’m considering some paid ads for me to increase traffic especially when doing affiliate marketing, I’ll be writing more about the results later on.
