PPC against SEO? What's better?

PPC is the best for immediate result and short term.

 

Hi all!
That's great question. As for me actually SEO is the best. Why SEO Is Better Than PPC?
SEO is strategically better because if you are able to somehow find an edge or advantage, you're likely to hold on to this competitive advantage longer with SEO than you would with PPC
Once you put in all the brilliant hard work to get leads and customers via SEO, it's much harder for others to take that advantage away. And, even if they do, you're much less likely to be completely blind-sided by it, as you would be with PPC.
Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against PPC. For many businesses, it's a great way to get profitable traffic through the search engines. I just think that over the longer-term, an investment in SEO will likely yield better results and more sustainable competitive advantage.

What are your thoughts? Has SEO or PPC worked better for you?
Pls reply to my post. Thanks for all!

 

I very much agree, i dont want to duplicate what you have already said, but very much my thinking too and it makes a lot of sense what you mention.

 

it really depends, but seo will last longer

 

Me not you... I guess most people would go with SEO for financial reasons. If you've got deeper pockets, PPC is simplier and quicker

 

i agree. but if you think about it from a "real world" point of view. You have a marketing budget of only $500, you certainly can't do PPC and SEO at the same time, what would you go for?

 

I was pretty disillusioned with PPC. SEO still provides longer term results than PPC. Plus it's less time consuming.

 

SEO is always a safe option if you are a starter and you can learn a lot while doing SEO....but PPC can b a costly affair if you dont know what exactly you want...Analyze yourself and pick an option...Cheers!

 

I think both is useful for thing can't be as substitution, but complementary.

 

SEO is better than PPC.
if you are looking for immediate result then PPC is best option and if you are looking for long term stable result the seo is better.

 

PPC can be used long term too, its just that it can become expensive for some businesses and isn't suitable for some either and takes some patience and constant tweaking, as does SEO.

I can see the advantages of using one, the other or both.

 

i think organic SEO is better, 2 reason i make :
1. organic SEO based on relevancy, if you can be 1st page, it prove that your site is winning competition
2. people logic more to click organic seo result than PPC result, because the SEO result always has better quality

But my advise, do both of them, because organic SEO need consistency and dilligency

Hope it's usefu;

 

I think seo is better because you are building a lasting business. PPC can work well if you know what you are doing, but most people don't, and will lose money.

 

why bump an old thread? its dead and u rep has fallen with it, 4 posts...clueless

 

SEO is better, but PPC also has it's good points. A niche with high competition keywords can still make it in PPC.

 

PPC is expensive. I use SEO to test different markets and then use PPC to maximize profits.
SEO can be tested easily with article marketing in ezinearticles and ideamarketers. There are many others such as PRlog.com which is a cheaper alternative to free-press-release.com
Test first if you don't have a huge budget for PPC.

Secret: PPC experts test and retest to discover high converting keywords.

To succeed with PPC you must track every keyword.

 

People don't like to click on sponsored links these days. So SEO is better. Even you are doing PPC campaign, doing SEO is better for long time stable result. If you don't have proper SEO then you will be lost in SERPs as soon as you stop PPC.

 

Yes,I agree with you.I like seo.

 

I believe SEO is better if you are looking for long term business achievements, and PPC is good for fat result specially if you master PPC can give you more profits. Like for example, you cannot use PPC without profits. SEO is a long process, if you ask me i vote for PPC and most expert money maker online use PPC..
