@martina_hackbartt well, it is not :) But how exactly are you going to analyze examples? Let's do a mind experiment; for my pet project, I have these traffic channels: - referral 32,3% - organic 20,11% - email/push etc - 1% - direct 47,46% - and paid for last one's % Which kind of insight can you take from that without deeper analysis? :)

@kpyto @investeringstankar in my opinion web pushes is so annoying, you don't want to use them as main channel. The best solution is to have good SEO, because if you have organic & direct 70-80% of all traffic, you are on the right road to win-win scenario!

@pablo_palmitas Hi Pablo, thanks a lot for your answer! We are working towards a good SEO strategy and hoping to achieve great results :) any ideas on how to start?

@tsvetanakos I agree that social is valuable source but you don't want to rely on social algorithms. They are very changeable, especially FB. Organic should be the main focus.

@sclerek Hi Derek! I'm curious, how does image search work? And yes, the struggle is real with backlinks :(

@martina_hackbartt By image search I just mean clicking the image icon in the search results, so that you get a screen full of thumbnails. For me, this week it means "Christmas gifs". When people search on that they get the usual list of web sites, but at the top they get some thumbnails, and if they click on a thumbnail or the image icon on the tab up top, then they get the full page of images. That's what I'm calling image search. Image search SEO, it seems to me, is an entirely different ball game than other seo. SEO often preaches lengthy content 1000-2000 words per page. This doesn't make sense for each image in a gallery. The real key is to make your images stand out. Sheer volume of images won't help, I tried that. Then backlinks. One way to get around the 1000-2000 word requirement is to make articles with titles like "Top 10 Best Good Morning GIFs" and then describe each image in detail in that list. By the nature of the Internet, I have some kind individuals, without my consent, including my images deep-linked into their "GIF" list articles. Those sweeties are also so nice as to show my domain name with the stolen image (but not a as link). I've been letting them continue to use my images since I suspect the deep link will count as a backlink. So cheers to me, I got someone else writing long articles linking to my site in exchange for some bandwidth. They use so little bandwidth its not even worth me doing anything about it. Well, I could write tons more, but I'm starting to babble. Oh yeah, watermarks. They been very helpful but I have overused them a bit, so I'm starting to be more generous with watermark free downloads. Writing this got me thinking about all this again. Thanks.

@sclerek Thank you so much Derek for expanding on this topic. I'll definitely do a bit of research and try it out as a part of our strategy. Thanks again :)

@treychong content marketing is the best way to ensure natural and consistent link-buidling. It also brings higher trust to you as a thought leader. However, it's long and and requires lots of effort.
