Remember that the search engines and social media properties aren’t really your friends. If you can bring them what they want along with their ever changing agendas then your free traffic could disappear. “Help enough people get what they want and you’ll get what you want” (or something like that paraphrased Zig ZIgglar quote).
Actually, that’s a universal principle. Maybe to a certain extent your parents might love you for who you are but EVERYONE ELSE requires that you bring them value, profit, in order for them to respond to you, buy your stuff, be your friend, follow you on social media, get and stay on your email list, stay married to you, stay as your friend and so on and so forth. Shoot even your dog will leave you if you stop feeding it, that is, if it knows where to go.
So, if you want free traffic, bring to people what they want, not necessarily what you want to express. You have to work with people. Even the greatest music composers had to write pop style tunes in order to get attention from the larger populace.
Now the question is: What do people really want?
