Ok before everyone tries to derail my train I would like to say this post is out of experience.

This is why I say this:

I have two sites. Exactly the niche, just different articles with more or less the same type of writing and content.

The one I have been doing SEO for quite long now and have seen the results but if I compare the two the one that I have done NO seo for gets average 3000 visitors a day more than the one where I do SEO.

Now you might say my SEO stragedies might be messing up the one that does not get traffic. And the fact is you might be correct. But I have been doing seo for a few years now and I kind of know what I am doing when it comes to SEO, so I doubt the fact that my SEO could be the thing that pushes away the traffic.

My argument is when I have spend so much time building links etc for the one without that much traffic the one with traffic is flying and increasing traffic daily.

To me this feels like I wasted all that time doing SEO when in fact I could just of left the site alone and it would be the same level as the other one.

Do notice the fact that both sites have exactly the same software installed and are run exactly the same and are also exactly the same age. (with a month or so difference).

So according to this I am deciding that SEO is useless. As long as you site can be scanned by search engines and dont have duplicate content, who cares about SEO.

Actually my sites have duplicate content, not the same as each other but some articles repeat themselves by accident. And guess what. They rank. So no more waisting time doing SEO.
