Do you think that PPCs like adwords are really expensive? yes, I think so. This is because in the initial stages of affiliate marketing a lot of money has to be spent through PPC advertising. Instead if SEO techniques are resorted to then it will be good.

    Its not that PPC is expensive or cheap it is, does PPC make sense! If it cost you $1 for everyone that visits your site are you going to make that money back?

    Are you making $2 for every visitor that comes to your site or $.10? If you are making $2 for every $1 that you spend then you would be stupid not to do it, even if you are already doing SEO. However if you are making $.10 for every dollar that you spend then you would be stupid to do it.

    There you go, forget about PPC vs SEO, does PPC make you money? If it does do it, if it doesn't don't.

    Adwords is expensive... I don't think anyone can argue against that.

    The prices are only getting higher and higher and the CTR are only getting lower and lower.

    This is why 2010 is the year that SEO made a big comeback and everyone is back into it. Nothing better than free traffic, right?

      I think you guys are seriously underestimating it here. If it cost you $1 per visitor and you make $2 per visitor on average it is worth it. Even if you are getting 10,000 UV a day from SEO if PPC still makes sense it makes sense.

      Think about it this way, if you could put $1 into a machine and get $2 back would you go out saying that $2 was expensive? No you put another $1 into the machine. It is the same with PPC.

      No, it is not expensive or cheap, it is what you do with it that counts.
