6 Ways to Get More Organic Traffic, Without Ranking Your Website

Posted by ryanwashere A few years ago, I wrote a post here that caught some attention in the community. I argued Google appears to be ranking websites heavily based on searcher intent  — this is more true now than ever. In fact, it might be algorithmically impossible to get your website on top of the SERPs. If you find your website in this position, don't give up on SEO! The point of "Search Engine Optimization" is to get organic exposure through search engines — it doesn't necessarily have to be your website.
