studies have shown that compared to pay-per-click advertising
campaigns, organic search engine optimization campaigns are far
better in many ways.
Let’s have a look into some of the
aspects.
Tendency
of clicking on Ad:
Many
studies have shown that people are less interested in clicking on
paid search ads rather than clicking ads which comes as results from
organic search engine optimization. For example, one study have shown
that users which are searching data, are up to eight times more
interested in clicking on the first few organic results compared to
they are to choose from any of the paid results.
Most
of the visitors are completely aware of PPC as Advertising technique:
As
more and more people are turning to the Internet for conducting
research and getting information they want, as a result more and more
searchers are getting awareness of paid results as a marketing
technique. One study have shown that 38 percent of the users who are
regularly searching on the net are totally aware of the distinction
made between paid results and unpaid results, whereas 54 percent of
users are aware of the distinction on Google only.
Rising
cost:
The
chart shows Pay-per-click advertising cost is raising steadily. In
the year of 2004 to 2005 the average keyword prices rose around 50
percent from $25 to $55. And in the holiday season like Christmas the
cost of keywords can increase like a rocket. These costs are surely
noticeable; one very interesting study of problems which is being
conducted on U.S. companies has found that 57 percent of users felt
that the keywords that they are looking for are "too expensive,"
and other 51 percent of the users has expressed concern that they are
paying high price for certain keywords. On the other hand, if you do
outsource it to an organic SEO firm then your costs will probably be
higher than the prices for PPC advertising.
Results:
A
pay-per-click campaign has tendency to produce results faster than an
organic search engine optimization campaign, but the edge which is
taken by organic search engine optimization campaigns is, it produces
results which is last longer. In the pay-per-click campaign when the
budget runs out, or when company decides to terminate campaign, the
results also end as well at that point of time.
What
is your budget?
Small
companies which are having relatively tight budgets may find that
pay-per-click is a better suited to them than organic search engine
optimization because a pay-per-click campaign is going to cost less.
If you have chosen your business related best keywords then that is
not good enough to get fair number of visitors towards your website.
