Long Live SEO and Inbounds.
In a highly competitive market though, and possibly fighting against blackhat SEO, that might not be enough. And why should it be? Do other non-internet companies live on word of mouth and connections alone? No. They live on advertising!
That is all laquegifts is asking for, to be able to advertise without her budget being stolen by the very affiliates and search engines who are supposed to be providing her with the quality traffic she is paying them to send her.
