That may be so, but I look upon it the way I did when every news website in the USA "pivoted to video" because Facebook spent a year
feeding them fake video metrics. A lot of those sites never recovered.
Search engine strategies come and go. Hell,
search engines come and go -- remember AltaVista? The trickle of traffic through affiliate links from affiliates who build and maintain links over decadal spans of time might as well be organic traffic, except for the revshare cost of it. It strikes me as pretty dumb to dump that traffic -- for now and for many more years to come -- in pursuit of an SEO strategy that's going to be obsolete and abandoned in 18 months.
