The document discusses findings from studies on pages that receive search traffic without links. It notes that it is possible for a page to get search traffic with zero backlinks if there is little competition for that keyword. The study also found that over 77% of domains had less than 30% of their links added after the page was published, meaning that links appearing with the page are more common than links added later.
