I have designed a website and looking for the right SEO solutions to maximize its visibility? So, here I am concerned or rather a little baffled about effectiveness of natural or organic search engine marketing and paid listing. Since, organic listing is created by the SE itself, therefore, belonging in this top ten list or reaching at the high ranked position certifies a site the best amongst the rest. However, achieving rankings depends upon various factors and is a time consuming procedure. On the other hand, through paid listing, websites get exposed to the same segment of viewers that organic listing receives on the very same day. Now, I desperately need opinions/comments on which SEM technique should I opt for?
I'm certainly no expert, but it seems like if you're going to be seen through a search engine you'll have to use both. Right now you"ll have to use paid listings. Later on when you've put in the time to get your site showing up higher in the natural listings then you can afford to drop the paid listings.
natural is always better than paid but you can find a good balance. I don't mind paying for good value featured links in quality directories and sometimes a few well placed paid links can really boost your SERP's and traffic. Stay away from the spammy deals you see everywhere for cheap.
Agree with John, Natural listing will remain for a long term, and paid listing till you have money to spend after it.
paid listings are helpful but can get your site banned by google so always prefer to with natural links. Moreover they dont cost you anything
