This is a lifelong argument that can last forever. Which works better SEO or PPC? I don’t think asking the question which one works better is the right question only because I believe each one has it’s own unique benefits and pitfalls. The right question one should ask should be which one offers a better ROI (return on investment). This is the right way of looking at this debatable argument as it is much more accurate when calculating ROI than to measure which works better. Let us say for instance you run a PPC campaign and get two hundred clicks at $1.00 per click. That will be a total cost of two hundred dollars for the PPC campaign. With a 2% conversion rate on the site that would work out to four sales. Now let us say we run a “cheap search engine optimization” campaign. For argument sake we will say that it will cost you one thousand dollars to get a fully optimized website setup for you. Now when it comes to SEO, time is the biggest factor as it can take anywhere from two weeks to two years to get ranked in the search engines. However for this example let’s say that you get listed within two weeks. Now this will be measured over a 12 month period. The PPC campaign is a monthly cost so it works out to $200 x 12 months = $2400 per year. You make four sales per month so 4 x 12 = 48 sales per year. Let us say your product makes you fifty dollars per sale. This will equal 48 x $50 = $2400 per year. Your ROI is then 0% as you have not lost any money or have not gained a profit. Now lets say your SEO optimized website brings you only fifty visitors per day. With a 2% conversion rate you should make $50 per day. There are 365 days in a year so this will equal $18250 per year. This is a much greater ROI at approx 700%. Now this is just an example and results can vary significantly from above. It was only used as an example to show what ROI is. So now we will move on to factors to look out for when deciding what you should use for your own web pages.

The first factor in deciding what would work better for you is to determine whether your time or your money is more valuable to you. PPC generally works quicker but costs more as SEO takes longer amount of time to implement and maintain into the future but is more cost efficient. In most cases you may not even need to pay for SEO. You can do cheap search engine optimization yourself if you are taught how to do it the right way. If you value your time more PPC would be your best bet, but you can also implement some SEO tactics in addition to PPC, you do not have to stick to just one method. If money is more valuable to you I would definitely go the SEO route and spend my time on optimizing your site and getting backlinks to your site.

The next thing you should make note of is that if you are unfamiliar with PPC it is very easy too lose a lot of money. So I would recommend that if you are not familiar with PPC then stick to SEO.

This is far from an all out guide to SEO or PPC but it gives you some factors as to what to choose in order to better serve your business. Ultimately the factors are money and time. If you value your time more than your money then go with PPC, but if you value your money more than your time then go with SEO. You can find out some really cheap search engine optimization tactics by clicking on the previous link.

If you have a website, chances are you understand the importance of backlinks. Backlinks are a measure of trust that search engines use to rank websites in the search results. The more backlinks (or incoming links) a site has, the more relevance the search engines will impart to that site.

Getting backlinks
There are several different ways to get more backlinks.

The first, and probably least valuable type of link is the reciprocal link. Reciprocal links are obtained by contacting other website owners and trading links with them.  Google and other search engines give very little value to these types of links anymore, particularly if your links are to and from an unrelated site. Google may not ignore these types of links if they’re to and from related sites though. For example, if your website is about cars and you trade links with a site about flowers, it probably won’t help your site. However, if you trade links with a site that sells auto parts, Google may give your site a small boost for that. Most webmasters these days have given up on reciprocal links because the work/reward ratio is too high.

Search engine traffic
A more valuable form of incoming link is a one-way, non-reciprocal link.  There are several ways to get one-way backlinks to your site. Some are easier than others.

Directory submissions – there are thousands of niche and general interest directories on the internet that will allow you to submit a link to your website. Some are free and some are not.  As with reciprocal links, the closer the directory is related to your site’s topic, the better. To find directories to submit your site to, do a search for “[your keyword] +directory”, replacing [your keyword] with the keyword or phrase that is related to your site.  Submitting to directories is a time consuming process, but there are some programs available that automate much of the work, making it a little easier.

Getting backlinks
Article submissions are another fairly simple way of obtaining non-reciprocal links to your site. Simply write (or hire someone to write) a good article and submit it for free to one of the top article directories on the web, such as ezinearticles.com or goarticles.com.

Another way to get one-way backlinks to your site is to comment on other people’s blogs. The best way to do this is to find blogs that are related to your site’s topic, then add interesting and insightful comments to it and include a link back to your site within the comment.

The best, and probably hardest way to get good backlinks to your site is by providing interesting, valuable content that other site owners will want to link to on their own.  The better your content is, the more people will talk about it, and the more they will link to your site from theirs without you having to ask for the link. Good content doesn’t always mean articles.  Videos, podcasts, polls, contests, and interviews all constitute good content if people find them interesting.

30 Minute Backlinks is a method of building massive amounts of one way links to your site in a much shorter period of time than many of the other methods.

It’s perfectly legit and really even gives back to the online community. This method doesn’t require that you have any tech experience at all, you’re taught step-by-step how to do everything in video.

You’ll even learn about keyword selection and more. Using the right keywords and using your anchor text in link building is important.

30 Minute Backlinks ties it all in and gets you to the top.

The desire of every Internet marketer is to achieve a high position for a chosen keyword in the search engines. This means that when potential customers search on a phrase which you have targeted, they will find your website on the first page of the results returned by any search engine.

Best Search Engine Position
But of course, if it was that easy to get on the first page of the search engines results, selling SEO ebooks would not be a million dollar industry!

The answer to that is that it is not simple to achieve high search engine listings without a good bit of knowledge and a great deal of work. You wouldn’t expect it to be any other way would you? You have to get some idea of how the search engines rule their databases, and you have to learn to use techniques that give the search engines what they want.

Website Traffic
Possibly the hardest part for the budding online entrepreneur is the fact that this task will take a long time and not show any results for many months, in all likelihood. Creating links to your site is always a good idea anyway, and something that you should always strive to do, but if quick results are something that you want, then you also need to look somewhere else for your marketing. Pay per click advertising is one possible solution.

Quality Backlinks
Pay per click advertising does offer some advantages over more conventional advertising techniques. Because you have control over your web site, you have control over who visits it. That is the nature of the Internet and effectively how it operates. Because of this, it is possible to target your ads quite precisely, so that your adverts fit specific searches that people make. Because the ads either form part of the search results themselves, or are discretely located on websites as Adsense ads, they are less ‘in your face’ than some other online marketing methods. Consequently, people who click on them are usually looking for something specific and are in a good frame of mind when they arrive (provided that you advert is on topic of course).

There are some advantages that pay per click advertising has over more conventional (real world) forms of advertising. Webmasters have control over their web sites, so that they can be very targeted. Equally, the big search engines have got the art of delivering targeted ads to specific web pages down to a fine art. When you deliver flyers (for example), you cannot achieve the same level of targeting. When you create your pay per click advertising campaign, it is possible to fine tune the ads you write to be very specific indeed, irrespective of how small the ad you are writing is allowed to be.

Pay per click advertising is also easier on the viewer than some more aggressive forms of advertising. Some ad agencies might see this as a bad thing, but from my perspective, the subtle approach on the Internet is better.

PPC advertising can be very cost effective. Done correctly, and well tested, you can achieve a very good return on investment with pay per click. That being said, if you are not careful, it can also prove to be expensive. If you do decide to try pay per click advertising, just exercise caution to start with and you should be ok.

Pay per click advertising is not for everyone of course. You can do very well from organic searches simply by themeing your web pages and building links to your site from respected sources. Another way of collecting backlinks is simply to pay attention to what is going on in the SEO world. There is often new techniques developed that help you to create huge numbers of quality backlinks in very short periods of time. If you can latch onto one of these, you stand to do very well with your web site.
