SEO vs. PPC

This article highlights how organic search outperforms PPC: http://www.imediaconnection.com/content/9395.asp

Key points:

- The Search Marketing Benchmark Survey (MarketingSherpa) shows that conversions with organic links outperform paid links thusly:

Average conversion rates: organic links 4.2 percent vs. PPC links 3.6 percent
Delayed ecommerce/service purchases: organic links 6.3 percent vs. PPC links 4.2 percent
Ecommerce product /service purchases: organic links 4.1 percent vs. PPC Links 3.8 percent

- Earlier research shows that 70 percent of your prospects will click on an organic link over a paid link and that organic clicks outnumber paid clicks by 5:1

- While it takes time to generate prominent organic links, once achieved they last indefinitely, and this long-term quality is what makes SEO cost effective.
