I'm really interested in SEO and to build up sites, but it seems that the section of the forum is pretty inactive.
I'm making some decent money on different traffic, but interested in getting into SEO. Working on several site at the same time right now!
Do you have any experience in SEO?
I am interesting in building up sites too.

I just got back from AWA a day ago and looks like quite a few people are actually exploring the options of building sites and doing some SEO again.
Even one of our mods, @erikgyepes is playing with something like this at the moment, care to share some details buddy? 
@servandosilva is also doing this constantly for quite some time, even had an interview with him where we touched on this topic 

So SEO is still very much a thing marketers do, but it's not as glamorous these days.
I'm pretty sure we will meet at some conference in the future, so I will try to bribe him somehow
SEO mainly focussing on unique written content and incoming links to your website. If you lack one of these 2 it's hard to gain volume (unless you use a BH tactic). So start writing now, their is not limit when it comes to good, relevant, unique content. Use keywords you want people to find you on, but don' t exaggerate. Everyday you are not writing, you are missing out. Google needs to time to index, rank, optimize etc. Same as paid traffic, everyday you don't test new stuff, you are missing out.
With good content, good incoming links will appear after a while. People dig your content and link to your website, share your content etc. If you lack patience, don't start with SEO projects.
I'd argue SEO is really not worth it unless you need/want some consist money coming in each month. But even then it can take years(or at least a year) to reach a significant amount of consistent month-over-month earnings. The biggest verticals can make you a millionaire on SEO(casino, diet/pills, insurance, finance/credit cards/loans) but they're incredibly difficult to play in. Almost any other vertical is going to shave years off your life to ever hope to reach good money. Unless you can find a quick exploit but those kinds of SEO guys are a dime a million.
Aiming for $5k-$10k/mo with SEO is doable and a worthwhile side project just to have some $$ coming in. Trying to bring SEO up to $30k, $60k, $90k/mo will take exceptionally longer than you'd imagine(comparing to the #s you see on this forum... $1k/day, $2k/day $3k/day) and all we have in life is time. I still own some sites and do earn OK from them but I don't pursue this aggressively for this exact reason: time is more important. I'd much rather see money now than 5 years from now. I'd much rather know exactly what my ROI is, rather than guesstimate too. If you spend $5k per month on content + links for a website, what's your ROI there? Will it even turn a profit? This is very difficult to track on the SEO side. If you spend $5k on paid traffic you know exactly how much you made and you know when you're getting paid. The numbers just work out better and it's a clearer business model.
But perhaps the biggest reason I'd argue for paid traffic is that you control the volume. With SEO you cannot force Google to give you more traffic. You can build links and publish more content, but you are always at the whim of just waiting around until Google "gives in" and lets you get more volume. And likewise if you get hit with an update and lose traffic, there's no way to predict when you'll get the volume back. You have such little control over your traffic volume with SEO that it's easier to say you basically have no control over volume. That's not really a sound business model, and coupling that with the idea that SEO is also not super clear on profit/loss for a business model, it's certainly not superior to paid traffic IMO.
I'd wager that's why the SEO forum is kinda dead. It's just not the superior choice for a business model. It is definitely safer and cheaper to run, but if you want to do $100k/mo profit on just SEO it's gonna be rough. PBNs can get you there but you need to play in big boy verticals like web hosting, casino & finance. Running an Amazon affiliate site up to $100k/mo profit is going to take years, and even then it could get hit and you'd see earnings drop overnight. And you have no control over that traffic to get it back. Again I think it's great for side income but I would not base an entire marketing company on SEO unless already established in big vertical(s).

Hey guys,
sorry for late reply.
After AWA I went straight for a 1 week trip to Japan, but I'm back now!
As for SEO..
I started playing with it about 1 year ago, when my campaigns were a bit off and I wanted to explore some "new waters".
Eventually I built a review site, posted couple of articles and let it sit most of the year as my campaigns picked up again and was riding the push wave for the whole year 
Anyway mid year I finally got out of Google's sandbox and started getting some traffic and also sales from Amazon.
It's nothing significant though, low $xxx profit/month, compared to $xx,xxx in paid traffic it's just a drop in the water.
But SEO is a long term game and it takes TIME, it's also all white hat and I built minimum backlinks.
I might start a follow along on this, if anyone would be interested let me know below.
I may updated it on like monthly basis or so as I plan to push this site more in 2020.
I know there are people making $xxxx-$xx,xxx a month, so there is definitely still money in it, it may be also more passive and stable (if algo update doesn't hit you), but as said it takes lot of patience and upfront investments to see some serious results.
