    Well i don't really know what you mean...But If you mean that by buying PPC ads you'll improve your organic rankings you'll be sadly disapointed...These both have no relationship with each other.

    PPC is ideal if you are either new and haven't been able to break into the search engines yet or if your big and want to break into new keywords- but it's getting to expensive now so I highly reccomend focusing on long term seo.

    PPC can really help SEO in an indrect sort of way. If you are a new site and you want to get some exposure or you are a store and you want to get some sales, PPC can be fantastic. However, PPC won't raise your organic rankings directly. However, if a site used PPC to gets its name out, it's possible that over time it could grow a user base that links back to you thus improving SEO, but that is fairly unlikely. Your going to be a lot more successful if you use PPC for affiliate marketing or something like that. PPC has the potential to be A LOT more lucrative than SEO is for most people, but only if you really know what you are doing.

    dude both these things don't have any connection. PPC can't really speed up the process in any way. both are exactly different things. consider for example that you have a page that has no seo done on it now you can generate traffic through ppc but can that ppc make it to se as a search result... seems foolish. if the page is optimised then it will get indexed fast but PPC does't speed up indexing of a page..

    bottom line is: PPC give you traffic not bots to crawl the page and index you...

    PPC doesn't help natural SEO in any way shape or form. In my eyes PPC is a short term alternative to SEO, all you're doing is buying traffic with PPC, once you stop paying the traffic stops and you're no better off in the natural rankings as you were before.
