Which is the best? SEO or PPC?

13 years ago

Keep in mind I am new at this..but it is my view/opinion

PPC: Paid traffic, while you do have more control over how much you are getting and it can be more focused on your actual topic.. you do pay for it.

SEO: Free, some what interested in your niche at the very least. Takes work and time to build though and you are at the whim of Google updates if you choose to use black hat methods.

Thanks

I think SEO is better because it is not instant compared to PPC where you have to pay for it and the traffic that search engines can instantly suspected

  Both methods work well. Choosing one depends on your goals and your budget. SEO is more time consuming, but generates long term results. PPC can bring you highly targeted traffic in a short period of time, but it stops working when the campaign ends. The best is to use both strategies.

SEO is a natural way to get traffic and PPC is the paid mode. Using PPC you will have more control over to get the right visitors on the targeted pages and this will costs you money. Also PPC is a quick way to get traffic while SEO may take times depends upon how you implement the rules.

Hi Josh,

Why waste time arguing?

They are both excellent methods of promoting your website, they both work well when properly executed. You do not need to choose one, or the other, best practice is to use both simultaneously. In fact, stats show that you get a great deal of synergy by employing both simultaneously.

If a keyword is worth ranking by SEO then it is likely worth advertising as well. One of the key advantages that PPC has over nearly all other forms of promotion, including SEO, is that you gather useful data very quickly. That data can then be used to inform your strategy for other promotional techniques, including SEO campaigns. Anyone trying to run an SEO campaign without the benefit of PPC campaign data is disadvantaged by that lack of data.

@Aarav,

I love having competitors that think like you.

@Nelapsi,

I often hear people refer to SEO as "free". Maybe to you it is free, but to me time is money.

I can always get more money, but time is a very limited resource. No matter what I try, I can never get more than 24 hours out of a day, so I always have to employ others to get more time onto a project. I do not have a limitless source of free labor. If you can please share where you, and others, that refer to SEO as "free", find all of that free labor I would appreciate it.

Ya. I accept both are excellent methods, but my argument goes on which is better and where to make use of it completely. Anyway, I got something new from you that doing both will result fast and good.

Hi Josh,

Perhaps you missed my point. Let me try to clarify for you the point I failed to make on my last post.

The only "best" option is to use them both simultaneously. In my experience, anyone that tries to get away with using only one, or the other, will get eaten alive in highly competitive markets.

Now, you could try to sort out which of those two are second best, and the truth of that will be different under different circumstances. In some cases, and organic SEO marketer will out perform a PPC marketer, in other cases, the PPC marketer outperforms the SEO marketer. So who can say which is best?

Experience, skill, knowledge, strategy and perseverance all play a role in any successful marketing campaign. A highly competent PPC marketer will always beat a mediocre SEO marketer, just as a top notch SEO marketer is likely to beat an incompetent PPC marketer. And both of those are always crushed by competitors that master both disciplines.

If you choose one or the other your result will always be limited success or frequent failure, in highly competitive markets. How could you truly rate either one as "best"? And again, there are so many variables that you could never say which will be best without knowing the circumstances of each particular situation.

And just in case that isn't clear enough for you, let me make an analogy:

Asking a marketer which is better, SEO or PPC, is like asking a carpenter which is better, a hammer or a saw. :confused: Duh, you are going to look like an idiot if you try to say either one is best.

Hmmm. Now I'm clear I think.. Thanks for your analogy. I'm not an Idiot and don't want to be. Actually, I know both PPC and SEO benefit us if we use them in right time. I didn't come to say one is best and another is not much, i just wanted to know others' point of view.

I agree. Its never wise to put all your eggs in one basket. Both sides have thier strengths and weaknesses:

PPC:
Pros: high level of control, with a little research you can fine-tune your bids to save $$$
Cons: Increasing % of bot clicks, newbs can configure it wrong and blow through $1000+ in a day

SEO:
pros: sites ranking high organically have that much more credibility in the eyes of visitors, is cheaper over the long term
cons: takes time, vulnerable to the whims of google

You need to use both strategies. Start out with SEO on your website. Then focus on traffic generation techniques that will bring you long term results. They take time but they are worth it. Use the following traffic tactics, social media marketing (various social networking sites, video sites, wiki authority sites, blog commenting, social bookmarking, etc.). Use article marketing on the high pr article sites. Create quality content. Create link wheels.

PPC involves testing. Your gonna want to learn more about PPC before you get started on.

I am providing a great solution based on SEO and PPC.
Websites need to mark their presence on the Internet to get more traffic. This can be done using appropriate online marketing techniques that serve to promote a given website. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Pay-Per-Click (PPC) are two such marketing techniques that are used to draw the attention of the end-user by ensuring that the website is displayed prominently on the result pages of popular search engines such as Bing, Yahoo and Google.SEO continues to be the top lead generating channel among U.S. digital marketers, while PPC's effectiveness as a lead gen channel is dropping significantly. So i think that social media marketing is now more effective than PPC as a lead gen channel.

Thank you,
Willon Maria

@ All replied here.

Hello my dear Warriors, I think now I am clear but with some doubts. You have explained me a lot. Thanks for that. I wish to tell my point of view. I supported and argued for SEO because of its long time visibility and permanent back links. But SEO is not suitable for instant traffic or sale while PPC perfectly matches for instant sale.

PPC mostly used for instant traffic and selling deals like Festival deals, event deals, black friday deals and so on. SEO is the long term and confirmed sales for certain time till the visibility in SERP.

Am I right or need to know something more?

I'm going to disagree with most people on here and say PPC. Yes it does cost money split testing campaigns and finding which promotions/ads/keywords work best, but once you've done it for awhile you begin to understand how to best set up your test campaigns where you minimize the cost and maximize your bottom line PLUS you don't have to rely on search engines for traffic.

While SEO is a great long term goal for any site, I want to see a return for my investment now, not months down the track, plus money made from successful PPC campaigns can be used to help fund SEO projects, so it's a win/win situation. PPC funds SEO, really couldn't ask for a better partnership.

i think this discussion will takes some more days to get finished....anyway here is my contribution. It was already explained clearly what SEO and PPC is for in the earlier posts. Im just putting a conclusion here.
Actually SEO deserves when there is a need for long term ruling at SERP. SEO can do the best in keeping you at top for very long time so you can get your clients right to you throughout the days. If you are running a electronics or clothes like businesses you need to pick SEO to run your business its life long. And i can say that PPC is additional tag to SEO in promoting the online business. PPC needs more money that SEO needs. but there is an benefit from PPC which gives instant traffic thus sales. If you are running a online gifts shop or crackers shop or something that got sale seasonally and occasionally, PPC can help you the best.

So thats it a SEO and PPC are meant for. Hope this will help dude.

  Before explaining you, I wish to tell, all clicks don't lead to sales. If your need is to get traffic or if you have already traffic, you just don't need to go for PPC. I think, you know already that PPC is expensive than SEO. We don't need to spend much more money for traffic and no one do it.
  
  Experts choose PPC for sales only not for traffic. For example, In 10 or 15 clicks, you can get 3 or 4 sales but using 15 clicks you don't get more traffic right? are 15 clicks improve your site's traffic?

I think you can determine which is better after you determine your ROI. Which will depend on so many factors. Some people blow tons of money on SEO and the ROI in the end winds up being far worse than PPC. Other people have developed economical/efficient ways to rank their sites and in that case its definitely worth it.

Then the same thing applies to PPC. Some people optimize pages poorly, and will have a crappy ROI. Others know what they're doing, and so its worth it for them.

Ahhhhh, wrong. PPC set up right on a site can help improve SEO by increasing your target traffic, reducing your bounce rate(once again if your site is set up right) by increasing onsite time and page views.

It's not hard to set up your site where people will want to do 2-3 page views on your site. Something structured like this:

Home Page: Content with link to another page on your site which goes to a video embedded. The video link opens in a new tab or window which ever you choose makes no difference.

Video Page: Has a short 1 minute video based around something related to your site. Start of the video mention that the end of the video will provide a free download. At the end of the video you tell the user to scroll to the bottom of the page for the download link. The user needs to scroll down to the download link. When they click it, it goes to another page on your site. This can either open a new tab or in the same one, makes no difference at this stage.

Download page: Short opt in form the user needs to fill in to get the free download. If you wanted to be a little black hat, you could blur out the opt in form forcing the user to "like" your site before getting access to the form. I've never really tried this method, but have seen something similar which is completely white hat on SEORush which I thought was very cool, they delayed the results page with a pop up recommending people to like their page while they waited. Very cool idea and stays within FB terms and conditions.

Right there, three page views where your on site time has increased, your bounce rate has dropped and you have now got a new subscriber and maybe even a FB like.

So tell me once again, how does PPC have no long term benefits?

LOL..

Can't understand whats your idea about PPC. Let me give my words.

PPC(Pay-Per-Click) is an online advertising method where you have to pay some bidding money to get a position in paid results at your targeted keyword SERP. So users who came for the search results of your targeted keyword can click on these results to buy your services/products. If what you are providing is fine then you can get more sales. PPC, SEO, Affliate marketing, Emarketing, Forum marketing, whatever you are doing is just to take people before your services/products (your website). Then website qualities, popularity, reviews, and many more plays the role of running a sale.

YES, i agree that PPC or any other marketing campaign is to get sales which comes only when traffic comes to your site. In simple words, conversion of traffic to further step is called Sales.

Sorry i can't help you more than this. If still you are finding mistakes, Report error to WIKIPEDIA/wiki/Pay_per_click.

Off-site SEO should always be done after the PPC campaign depending on the competition. It really boils down to the fact that off-site SEO is cost-effective over at long duration of time after you have determine which keywords are profitable by testing with PPC.

It is important to understand there's on-site SEO and off-site SEO and you are absolutely want to implement on-site SEO before running PPC campaigns as it was drastically decrease year cost per click by increasing your quality score.

Hey buddy, you are comparing Apples with Oranges

PPC is for those who want quick results but there also you need to keep a track of whether your ad is ranking on 1st page or not. Are you bidding properly or not and so many things.

In SEO, results are slow but once you pick up you can stay there for long.

So if you are new to SEO, I would suggest you to opt for an SEO and learn for sometime. Once you get an idea about all this, go for PPC too!!

I have used both ppc and seo for my online campaigns. If you want immediate results, go with PPC. PPC is very effective if you have the right keywords, you work on the budget and you make really good ads for good quality score, and etc. With seo, results may take longer to see but also very effective. Well, you can also do both.

It all depends on the site business.
Lets say you have an eCommerce sites, for which PPC will work better than SEO, BUT this doesn`t mean SEO won`t work for eCommerce site. (For those business people who need instant results PPC is the best option)

SEO is the way through which you can get long term benefits. Now-a-days all big businesses are concentrating both SEO & PPC. I think it`s enough to tell that SEO is equally important to PPC.

Yeah.. you're right... PPC is more appropriate for E-Commerce while SEO is not much suitable for E-Commerce. Because, SEO has to be done using certain keywords only.. E-commerce sites have more products to sell so that PPC suits for E-commerce...

I would say to Mix it up . PPC can bring in immediate results but cost you more. where as SEO may cost less and can take time. So If you are in a hurry , start with PPC and do SEO parallel , then keep reducing PPC budget as you get the results from SEO.

Which approach is better? It depends on your needs and budget. If you want more traffic fast and are willing to pay for it, then PPC might be right for you. But if you're operating on a shoestring budget, it may make more sense to invest time in chasing high search rankings through SEO.

No other methods will work for you to get targeted traffic. Either, you should spend your time for SEO or you've to pay for traffic...

Other methods,

SMO(Takes time), Affiliate marketing (CPA)

A really simple way which people never seem to make more use of is joining FB groups and pages related to your niche. Create a FB account for your business, then use the search function to look for related groups.

Lets say you built a review site on power drills. You create your FB page and then use the search function at the top to look for groups related to DIY, Woodworking, Handymen etc. But when you do your search don't pick one of the top 8 results, click the "See more results for "keyword" then use the tabs on the left to look for pages and groups.

Then begin to join in the discussions providing real posts and comments, nothing spammy. People will begin to look at your profile and then your site from there. You can also provide a free download with an opt in list either from FB or website.

As previously stated it does take time, but if you do this with Twitter and Google+, you'll begin to get alot more targeted traffic and it helps your rankings as well with occasional social signals dropped in here and there.

They are two different things PPC is purchasing your place in your market/ niche which could be extremely costly especially if your new and not sure what your doing.
On the other hand SEO is earning your place within your market/ niche through providing value and some elbow grease and I believe it has much greater benefits down the road.

You've gotta decide what's more important or convenient for you and what type of business and reputation your trying to build.

SEO cant be great for AdSense. May be related to Adsense. Because, in PPC your site is getting placed depending Quality of the Site and it is based on the 3 factors upon the bidding amount.

1. Landing Page of the site
2. Relevancy
3. CTR

So, SEO has nothing to do in PPC.

Effective SEO is not free. Sure, you can do things manually, but it just eats up so much time.

Even if you are really picky and refined with your keyword research, you're still going to need to build back links even to rank the zero competition keywords to the top, and these are keywords that garner anywhere from 100-1000 search a month, a little more if you're lucky.

SEO and PPC should be used in conjunction honestly; in actuality, PPC may be a better educator in learning what the 'real' profitable keywords are (laser targeted keywords).

SEO means executing proper keyword research to find keywords that are profitable, yet have very low competition. PPC involves using laser targeted keywords right off the bat, and writing/creating ads that get high CTR rates. High ad CTR rates = Google makes more money = your cpc bids are lowered = everyone wins.

There's really nothing to argue about. SEO gives you free traffic if you do it yourself and the traffic lasts as long as you keep your ranking. PPC is paid traffic. You get traffic as long as you have the money to spend. The question on which one is better depends on how well you can convert traffic to sales.
