Search for computers in google will give "Dell website" as #1 search and search for online stores will give "amazon.com" as #1 search does not matter what you do. As websites become popular/known from direct search results, it can be bad for affiliate/internet marketing.
Big names in websites will appear in Top 5 of google search so your websites will be pushed down.
Did website/blog owners and internet marketers made a big mistake by ignoring search engines ?
