Is content enough for SEO?

[Oliver]

Content is great, but you need to promote too.

When you first create your website, think of it as an island out in the middle of the pacific ocean that no one has heard of yet. How are you going to let people know that it exists?

It's not like the movie with Kevin Costner, "If You Build It They Will Come". You need to let people know it's there. You need to have bridges coming into you site from other authoritative sites. Think of the other sites linking in as airports that have planes that can fly to your island, or places for ships to pull into your island.

The more ways you have for people to get to you island, the more traffic you are going to get. SEO is part of it, but it is only 1 part. There are many other parts to it. Facebook is currently ranked the highest traffic site on the internet and it is not SEO it is a social site. SEO actually comes in second to Facebook.
