    It seems everyone is obsessed in this forum with PPC and CPA.

    Let me remind you all, SEO is just as effective than PPC for CPA and Affiliate Marketing in general.

    Ranking #1-#4 for a term organically in Google is much more effective in most cases than positions 1-3 for that term using paid search. You get MORE TRAFFIC and MORE MONEY because you are not paying for clicks. People seem to think SEO is really hard and crazy, but it's not --- any one of you could rank top 4 for most of the keywords your bidding on (unless you're bidding on broad keywords like weightloss, in which case you're an idiot anyway:p)

    Check out my free eBook for more information and for case studies of sites I'm ranking #1 for. Infact check out the site for a screenshot of one of my latest sites ranking first place. :)

    SEO Takes time, and time is money. In that light SEO vs PPC equals SEO = PPC.
    Ranking takes both on and off page factors, off page take time to develop.
    With PPC you can get the traffic now, at a price, but now...

    Otherwise, free traffic via good SEO is awesome, but it doesn't happen overnight, or now, for people like me with Internet A.D.D. lol

    I would agree. In the long term you are planting a seed with SEO which will reap rewards many years down the road, but you can use PPC / SEO hybrid which is what i do.
    I spent about $500 on PPC to drive traffic to my niche wordpress sites. What this does that as your CTR increase, your QS increase and your site will naturally go up in rank and eventually end up on the 1st page.

    yeah, it's a lot of work to generate traffic, but once you get the traffic it's hard to not be addicted to doing seo

    I have a site that is ranked no.1 on keyword. I don't have better conversion unless I run an AdWords. I personally believe that a hybrid of SEO and AdWords works better. A well optimized with better ranking has a good quality score and it lowers your cost of AdWords as well.
