PPC Or SEO

September 18th, 2008 by

In terms of online marketing, PPC or Pay Per Click advertising and SEO or Search Engine Optimisation are considered to the two most beneficial methods of generating targeted traffic for a website. SEO is dubbed as being the most inexpensive and long term source of traffic while PPC can instantly generate a lot of traffic to a website.

Many new marketers and Webmasters question which of the two methods of marketing is the most beneficial but the question is largely moot. The most effective marketing mix is one that includes a diverse range of marketing techniques and different traffic sources so including both SEO and PPC is likely to be the best option in the majority of cases. Well managed, both search engine optimisation and PPC advertising can generate a large level of traffic over an extended period of time.

By diversifying a marketing portfolio you stand to reap the rewards of both marketing models while covering yourself against many possible pitfalls. Should your PPC or SEO traffic dry up for any reason, the other is present to make up the slack and continue to provide your pages with traffic.

Both forms of marketing should be applied from the beginning. SEO is more of a long term solution and by starting as soon as possible you can optimise on page content and then start building links for the best results. In the meantime, PPC advertising can be used to generate traffic that can be very closely benchmarked, monitored, and improved upon.

    PPC advertising brings traffic to a website through visitors clicking on an advert; every time the advert is clicked a charge is made to the advertiser. The advertiser bids on certain keywords to bring only relevant traffic to their website. Through this process you can get lots of visitors and high search ranking.

    A professional SEO helps to achieve a high ranking in major search engines and therefore attract more visitors. The factors that can be changed include the site’s content, the actual coding of a site, the external links and landing pages before you embark on SEO campaigns.

  4. Ricker says:

    The nature of PPC makes it a far more agile tool than SEO, which can be particularly important when it comes to running reactive or tactical campaigns. Getting exposure against new keyword sets will always be quicker via PPC. You should consider using PPC as a tool for pre-testing keywords.

  5. Robbin says:

    PPC is a form of search engine marketing that involves buying website traffic from the search engines. While search engine optimization is the ongoing restructuring of HTML, content on a web page in order to make that page both more visible and more relevant to search engines.
