    SEO means Search Engine Optimization. Its for bringing your site on the first page even on the first position on google or other search engines.

    I think both are useful in your site's product and services. PPC is mainly for driving good traffic into your site while SEO is for gaining high rankings in search engine these are effective in improving your online business in the market.

    depends on your business. lot of businesses would do both. i know people who would only do PPC as they dont wanna spend any time on ranking their site organically. and of course there are people who would only do SEO which works great for them. no single methods works for al

    I would say if you have little or no startup capital, with your own hard work you can start earning with SEO, then when you've got a good base of funds earned from SEO, you can start on PPC, just be careful always as you can lose a lot of money, so education first is a must. With PPC it's instant traffic so it's much easier and faster to scale up when you're on to a winner. Generally super affiliates use paid traffic and email lists, but SEO is a good stepping stone.

    You don't get more traffics in PPC. But if the page rank of your site is good you can get more traffics by SEO.
    I think SEO is the best for geting traffics.

    Well that all depends on what you want to do. I think SEO is great for the person in it for the long term as it will bring you free traffic once you have done the hard work. If you need traffic today and have the money and knowledge, PPC is the way to go. Both are great tools and one is not better than the other. If you can find the right balance between the two - start seeing your earnings rise. Personally I have a full time job doing SEO work and it works out great for my clients. If you want to rank on page one for a low-medium competition keyword - check out the first link in my signature. We even work with high competition keywords but it will take it a very long time to see the first page.

    Both have their plus points. However , for new websites , I believe PPC is a better option , SEO would take some time to reach the first page, but with good keyword research , you can see faster ranking results. For PPC , usually I won't start with Google Adwords as their CPC is too expensive, you can have some reasonable CPC with 7search.

    I feel SEO is the best solution rather than paid marketing at the amateur stage, later on once the site is into action one can think of doing paid marketing.

    Hi,
    With PPC you will get instant traffic at the same time you can't avoid spam clicks to be paid where as with SEO you will get benefit for long term process it is stable ranking in search engines and no effect thru spammers....

    I would choose SEO. It will rank your website steady, safely and will remain visible. Comparing with PPC that if you won't have money to invest, you'r burnd.

    I can just recommend the guys who's taking care of my website. They are good at linkbuilding, seo...etc
    See their website seostarlet.com

    Hi

    Both has their own importance like in case of PPC we got the ranking till we are investing money for google or other search engine. In case of SEO if you rank then this will be the permanent ranking either you work or not after getting the stable position.

    Hope you understand.

    SEO works well with fresh content and high quality backlinks, and its a good way to start if you do not have sufficient funds as a start-up capital. Once you have SEO skills you can try PPC as well as this method can also prove to be effective in generating traffic.
