For a completely new product I would definitely goes for the attraction rather than the ranking. It is easier to generate traffic through shorter content, community building and small paid trials than through SEO.

I would go for white hat SEO. Slow it may be, but good content, SEO and authentic backlinks pay off in regular visitors. It may be tempting to try some black hat tricks, but it could negatively affect your rankings in the future. I'd prefer to have a very steady traffic and keep it in the long run.
imo the fastest route was rarely a shortcut for SEO. draw attention from areas where ur audience was already present and then test what converts from ur first batch of traffic.
fast traffic and fast seo were not one and the same thing imho . If i had to get visitors in one week i would either tries a paid campaign with a little money or works on reaching out to my own people first.

social media traffic and parasite seo have worked pretty well .thats where most of my traffic has been coming from lately
but if speed is the thing then I would combine SEO with fast traffic sources communities, social media, partnerships etc. tbh black or can be gray hat will bring numbers faster, but watching the site vanish afterward is not what we need.

If the goal is quick traffic, I’d still be careful with black-hat methods.

fast traffic possible but you need understand the risks before trying anything.new sites can get hurt pretty easily when you use the wrong shortcuts
