    Dont get too stressed with SEO. Its only one channel to increase visibility for your company. Stay focused on doing business offline as well and also using other channels online.

    I didn't vote - for 2 reasons.

    1) Both are required -

    2) It depends on the business model a site is made upto. For a site selling products - both are hugely essential.

    On the other hand a blog or publisher needs to emphasize on SEO more than marketing.:)

    Marketing is a global requirement and therefore more important.

    SEO is important for the internet only.

    Both are definitely important now it`s up to anyone to choose both or either one. Marketing is what brings the bread to your table in no time. Most of the sites I`ve seen lately advertised through PPC programs such as Adwords are a total crap, that is why they urge to market their sites. SEO is more important in my opinion if you are going to build something up in time. But not every SEO expert is an SEO expert. Haha.

    I don't think these two should be compared in the same level coz SEO is the subset of the marketing campaign. However if I'm force to choose, I'm going to go with SEO. Reason being is because generally you can't start any marketing campaign without a certain amount of budget; but SEO, you can start building links with article marketing, squidoo pages, link partnership, forum linking, social bookmark and so on. All these cost $0 but a lot of TV and video gaming time. ;)
