Now when I meet people or when I am trying to give a little background to a prospective writer, I tell them how many daily page views and visitors my site gets on average and I tell them some of the government agencies that have linked to my site (it is an impressive list).

When I first meet someone and initially tell them I run an environmental website, their like, ya, ya, that’s nice, but once I tell them how much traffic I get and the types of sites that link to me, they sit up and take notice. All of a sudden they realize it is a very serious operation, not just a hobby.

I never planned on using organic SE traffic to bring in my targeted readers. Instead they come from forum links and other blogs. Also, my RSS subscriptions saw their largest jump right after I was on the panel at Affiliate Summit.

Anyways, I think the point is don’t rely on the search engines to do everything for you… but at the same time, those rankings do result in very valuable connections.
