Long term investment and ROI = SEO
Short term and ROI = PPC.
Short term and ROI = PPC.

Yes, it is true, depends on the type of project, budget, skills... PPC is sniper, SEO is infantry atack

PPC for me. I've been doing great with push notifications last year - did 6 figures. Never tried SEO though.
But generally it looks like this with PPC:
-- You need some budget to start with, but with some traffic sources like pops or push notifications, few hundred $$$ is enough for start
-- You see results within hours or even minutes, pretty much immediately
-- You have to keep running and optimising campaigns to earn, once you stop, your campaign will run maybe a day or two (well, it also depends on traffic method you use)
SEO (I'm not a SEO guy, so the info below might be slightly inaccurate):
-- Pretty much free, except the tools for SEO, however, you can group buy the whole set for $50 or so
-- You have to work for months if not longer
-- You don't have to work day in day out like with PPC

Any, if you are above average and master it.
For sure you need to spend loads of time and money in order to understand something.

The right kind of SEO is best.
Problem is 99% have no idea, so they fuck up SEO.

Since so many members support the seo side. I would point out something on why i would pick the ppc path.
It is not only short term, but it is also longggg term. Not sure why if you can start it now will make you need to stop it later.
It is a lot more predictable than seo. You know the average cost to convert someone to be your customer. For seo you don't.
Can you be sure your $$$$ PBNs will move you to front page? no right?
Buy this links package and you know exactly it will move up 3-5 spots?
Anyway, don't get me wrong, do your best for seo. But don't rely so much on them.
Traffic from seo is great but always remember that you're playing in google hands.
Paying them is what can make you and google get along easier. You're paying to rent some spots on the first page to get traffic.
Same as renting space in a shopping mall.
That's what i think.

the best is to mix both together if possible, if your seo for a reason or another is not efficient anymore, you always have ppc to complement the loss.
PPC is a trial and error but you use some maths to calculate the results it gives you
SEO is trial and error too but also a form of art, because you don't know exactly how google works.
