Hi. Im very much anewbee and turning a shopping cart "live" in a week or so. SEO is obviously a steep learning curve and something i will have to work hard at. I intend to go a Google Adwords PPC campaign. Will this actually assist me in getting ranked higher in natural searches? What i mean is, do Google think ok, hes spending money and getting seen, so will they crawl a bit deeper and index me better? Will I still get sandboxed whilst im PPC or will this help me get out of the box faster. I know links are vital, but im concerned about buying links. What if the links i buy are too sites that google think are "bad". Should i avoid buying the links that i have seen on other threads on this forum? Obviously the old buy 1million links for $10 is no good, but some on the other threads seem better, expecially directories. Would love some comments.....especially re PPC and ranking.
No never G doesn't think this way at all. You won't be ranked higher either if only you using adwords.Yu need build backlinks to improve your Serp. Why you need to buy links from the start first you can hire someon for manual directory submission service then you can go for article submission service social bookmarking service.
why is that? Wouldnt ppc get some traffic instantly, which may result in some links, bookmarks etc which all help? Can you epxlaim, lest m missing something.
But you would traffic only from the ppc ads and no traffic from the search engines. That's why it is important to get the SEO done first
PPC can get you free traffic but Google will also consider your landing page quality when ranking your ads among the others. You can read the 80+ pages Google Adwords Guide from my site at: http://www.kchut.com/kc-giveaways/ All the best!
SEO and PPC only go hand in hand in discovering keywords and competition ... otherwise, completely different
PPC does not help in your rankings. Proper SEO techniques like Onpage and Offpage optimization should be done. It may sound daunting but trust me, it is very doable. You can also pick up other powerful traffic driving techniques from my free report including tips on onpage optimization and ranking in the serps. See my signature.

Hi Snooks, As detailed above adwords will not help your ranking. however you should use adwords as well as try to rank high organically in the search engines.
