    As we all know, SEO is a technique if you want organic result and PPC is if you want to generate revenue easily. But is SEO and PPC can be do at the same time and with the same result.?

    You can do both at the same time. PPC is great to get quick traffic. Of course, when you quit doing the PPC, the traffic slows down and stop. SEO is for long term organic traffic. This is the ideal traffic that will stick around for a long time. It takes time to build traffic but once it builds, you will see a continuing flow.

    BTW, no offense, but seems a weird question coming someone offering pro SEO services.

    I re-sell other people's goods/services and I don't have a website that suitable for those niches, so for my business PPC is the only way to go! I don't need any SEO :D

    PPC for my business ...and business is good :D

    Do both...SEO and PPC are excellent techniques and do not really consume time. So why don't you do both techniques?

    Hi,
    I think first you go with SEO then PPC, PPC has outstanding promotion technique & rankings are more stable & faster but its have some cons also PPC program is totally money oriented once you stop paying your as will no longer appear on the listing.
    Thanks!:cool:

    i mostly do SEO but there are couple of my sites that i do PPC with adwords as well. SEO is mostly free or very low cost depending on your link building technique and produce long term result giving you high profit margin. however, it also takes a long time to get a site ranked with SEO. if you want instant traffic and revenue, then PPC is the way to go. however, i would suggest you to do both every single extra traffic counts

    PPC can be costly then again time is money so SEO isn't always "free"...

    Both.....!!!:p

    One for paid inclusion and second for free inclusion.
    If you have Big budget you can use PPC for initial starting.
    If you have small budget you can use SEO for initial starting.

    find out your way and rock on search engine.

    SEO is a lengthy process and for a lot of people isn't free because they pay people to do their SEO and buy links, submissions, etc.

    PPC costs money while SEO costs time, if you have all the time in the world but no money to invest in your business i would recommend SEO, but if vice versa, try PPC because you get the results within a day or two if you've done your campaign right.

    Organic link building, or SEO as you guys put it, is always the best for long term stability. Although as others have said, PPC can make a fast buck in no time at all.

    I think a combination of the two is ideal, but I focus mainly on organic link building.

    The obvious answer is SEO as a long term solution, however PPC can get you results quickly but at a price. It all depends on your budget, and what you are looking to get out of it.

    Most people in this thread forget that SOMETHING can happen with situation on market, with product/service and so on and that long term stability which SEO gives not only not needed but may appear absolute waste. And in that case PPC can help even if it's not planned. You can simply turn off campaign.

    Case I pointed by any means not usual example, just food for thought.

    i think PPC is rather beneficial and time consumptive than SEO(free services, and hardwork, long time work)
