You might argue that Google is still the elephant in the room, it is the biggest search engine. But we also know about Google's updates… even if you are doing everything right, there is a chance that your site can get hit by an algorithm update and lose most of the traffic overnight. In addition to that, Google started showing AI-generated summarized responses to search engine queries in the United States. These AI summaries are created by Google's Gemini AI model and they appear at the top of search results, above the traditional link-based results.

Do I need to give you any more reasons to watch this video from start to finish because I'll show you the best alternative traffic sources? No? I thought so :)

Pinterest

So the first one we'll talk about is Pinterest. Why? Because it was the biggest traffic source for me! At the time when I started my blog I used to get over 90% of traffic from Pinterest. Over the years, my Google traffic has grown, but even these days I am still getting about 60% of traffic from Pinterest.
Pinterest is based mostly on images and text, which is great because you don’t need to put yourself in front of a camera like you might need to do on Youtube or Instagram.
Think of Pinterest as a massive search engine, just like Google. For exmplae, if you hop onto Pinterest and search for "small business setup" you might stumble upon a pin from Create Hive blog.
