    Hi,

    Pay-Per-Click Search Engine Advertising allows you to quickly get top search engine placement by "bidding" (paying) for keywords related to your product or service.
    While SEO is a long term process in which your cost depends on number of channels you are using yes but it is more effective.

    SEO is a cheaper click in the long term

    Why not combine both?

    Reduce your PPC as your organic rankings improve

    I think PPC is there for instant traffics while SEO for long term purpose. :)
    Don't forget social networking. It not only helps your sites in SEO but also generate direct traffics for your sites. :)

    seo is long a long term investment, whereas ppc is a quick sales type of thing. It is better to rely more on seo if you are trying to achieve brand recognition.

    SEO is a process that can help in PPC as well. With high rankings the greater profit you can get. But always be patient with it because it doesn't happen instantly.

    I vote for SEO as it's much more long term. But it's risky as we can't predict what Google will do in the next two days...

    It depends on your need. If you are more after in having good ranking and gain traffics, go for SEO. If you are more after in having traffics and having sales conversion, go for PPC.

    PPC is good if your website is newly lunched, selling new products having high worth and you want to get traffic quickly but for it you need money and perfect PPC strategies otherwise you will loose your money and time .

    SEO is a time taking process and its depend upon the depth and size of website plus number of other factors like how website is designed? which keyword you are targeting? and what type of products and services you have? and once seo is done then you will see positive results . SEO is always important even if you use PPC .

    So better to go with both ..

    :)

    PPC is too costly, and you do not certainly get high conversion rate

    If you have experience with PPC, you will know that it'll help you generate traffic in the beginning. In the long term, it might not always be the best thing if you are breaking even or losing money.

    SEO is definitely long term. Just make sure you optimize your site accordingly and you have your site architecture and etc... all supplemental.

    Included into SEO for quick traffic would be your social media assets.

    Basically, which one to go with? Start with PPC and SEO and Social Media.
    Back off PPC down the line and make tweaks when needed.

    Depending on the product you are marketing, PPC can easily cost more than a good SEO campaign and provide limited profitability. If you spend 20.00 a day on PPC thats 600.00 a month. A really good SEO on-site and off-site link building campaign can be purchased for 600.00 a month. Depending on your niche, you can find good SEO work for 300-400 a month and spend the other on PPC to keep things going. Once you get established you can cut your SEO back.

    Focus on SEO first. Its going to take a while to kick in. There's no reason to put all your money on PPC which will be a deep dark money pit forever. If you get the right SEO company to do the right work its far more worth it. It will provide far better returns.
