SEO vs Adwords in comparison

[alice252293]

I know SEO for long term, meanwhile you can get instant results with Adwords BUT.
Let's say in the long run (one year).

Which is better.
The profit make from Adword vs The profit make from SEO for the same product.
I know it depends variety of factors but anyone try both and get the results ?.
Basically, my question is in the long run, if doing it properly. Can SEO still better than Adswords (in profit) ?.

Seo is alot better than adword. Cause its long term and your customer will give more trust on organic traffic than ads.

Prefering SEO will be my option particularly for a long run.But google updates making unstable ranking for every updates. You have to make sure all quality stuff for SEO. Once you done it right you are on the cards always.

In other hand you can use AdWords for just pushup and bring traffic. But for a long run you can't stay with AdWords unless you have more $$$$ to spend

I wouldn't think the two as separate strategies but at one whole one.

SERP is a real estate zero-sum game. If you get in front, somebody else gets behind you and vice versa.

When you do both G Ads and SEO you increase your chances of getting more results (2 results: one ad and one seo ranking) on the same front page. Basically, you double your exposure at the expense of your competition.

So you might not make money with adwords (let's say your ads are not that profitable), but because of them, you increased your exposure and decreased your competition's exposure.

I hope I explained it well. Please let me know if you need me to expand it further.

PPC because you get faster results but both seo and ppc have their own pros and cons but why not attack with both?

Woa, never thought about that. But it seems like SEO still unpredictable. You might spend thousands $ and still get a little results (I tried Amazon affliate, still got some results but not like what I expected). With GG Ads you can test the results right away. Maybe I will spend money on Adwords first then if it's profitable I will use the profit to invest into SEO.

Spending alot and not getting ranked is one of the disadvantages of SEO. Though with adwords, you're guaranteed to get traffic the moment your ads goes live.

Both PPC and SEO requires money.

PPC gets instant result and SEO takes time.

Start with both.

Try to make ppc profitable and deploy profit in SEO.

 

[Mia Jane]

Through google ad-words you can see instant result and expect instant traffic.
SEO helps you drive free traffic so any way both are good.

 

[OutreachSEO]

You can use both, also you can start with adwords to see how well your site is converting and go from there.

 

[BrandingCat]

You can spend all money either on SEO or on PPC without results if your landing it`s bad.
There is no secret sauce as If this then that, and earn.

You must test yourself, be ready to lose money.

If you can find a niche where ou can be profitable in Ads, you can scale it up straight away and increase your budget periodically.

I will say SEO is better in the long run provided you know how to play it right, that's to say knowing the practices that will keep you on top of competition.
