    start with PPC to test for keywords see what converts, then switch over to SEO, target those keywords.

    personally, been doing SEO last couple years and mailing, but getting into PPC now

    I'm pretty good with converting keywords we got some clients ranking on very competitive keywords for example we have one client in the top 3 for the keyword printing and many other competitive keywords.

    If you don't mind me asking do you do through SEO I mean are you netting a million a year?

    Started with PPC, I've moved on to the SEO route now and I find it far more rewarding. Set up a site and do some SEO for it for long tail keywords that bring in interested customers and once you rank #1-2 move on to the next thing and get money for your previous efforts.

    I personally use affiliate marketing and blog marketing to generate both traffic and backlinks.

    as others have mentioned, ideally you'd use both and in most cases is what I do.

    I too have seen a ton of people using facebook app PPC. This is a bit of an untapped market because lots of people are advertising on facebook itself and ignoring the fastest growing segment of facebook - the apps.

    I have advertisers that are running offers through Zohark and recharging their accounts so it must be working well for them.

    PPC is risky. SEO is safe and will workout well in long term.

    I don't think PPC is really risky maybe to a degree, but it's like anything pratice makes perfect speaking you dedicate your self to it.

    If you ask me sometimes PPC can be safer then SEO because anymore you have to worry about big G penalizing your website.

    That's right! PPC to select converting keywords, then SEO + article marketing. Why? because with PPC you are able to collect good keywords fast. Then you may continue with this PPC but you have to monitor it constantly - this may be very tedious task.

    So start with PPC then switch to SEO and start another PPC...
