SEO doesn't cost money, it does when you hire someone else to do it, but many people. including myself, do their own SEO. As I said though, it does take time, and for some, time is money.
Yes, once you stop paying for PPC, the faucet is turned off. That's why it can be a good idea to keep in contact with your visitors, by having them subscribe, or by having them join your email list.
It cost when you are using paid directory and premium sites services which is offered by the other sites. If you hire the seo person than I guess your budget is equivalent to any affiliate marketing.
You're right, but does the cost equal what you would pay for PPC on average, and would the effects be better, given that your placement in searches would be much more permanent than ads? I'm not an expert and I'm genuinely curious.
I don't do any of that stuff. I just create content and build links with it. I also create my own bookmarks, etc. SEO is a very general area, there are many routes to explore, which are free.
Great point. That's the power of an organic listing. People think that Google will give them the best result for the term that they are searching for, and they realize that an ad is only there because it is paid for. So, when someone searches for something like "best plumber", most people think that this means that the top results of the search are in fact, the best plumbers.
Yeah, It's always been like that. We've been on the Internet for awhile knowing that, just imagine what's it's like for our parents.
Oh no, I wasn't talking about our parents being able to make money on the Internet or not, I was talking about them not being able to distinguish an ad from an organic listing in Google.
