I don't understand the comment about Buzzfeed, but I disagree with the suggestion that SEO isn't a viable strategy for organic traffic anymore. There are billion dollar businesses that are entirely reliant on it as essentially a singular channel (not that I recommend this reliance, but it does work).

I can assure these strategies still work when done well.

Startups aren't competing for the same keywords as Buzzfeed.
