SEO against PPC

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) aims at improving the ranking of a website in search engine listings whether “organic” or “inorganic,” and pay per click advertising is solely “inorganic” in which every time when a site visitor clicks on the advertisement, the advertiser is charged per click. For an aggressive, high-volume search terms, the cost of pay per click advertising can be significant. But that doesn’t mean organic search results are any less then inorganic search results. They generate same targeted traffic and that too potentially at a lower cost. It may be noted that PPC is a part of the SEO making them the two most important practices in the domain of Search Engine Marketing. Of lately the recent manipulations have brought out the efficiency of SEO over PPC by declaring that SEO earns substantially better ROI than PPC. Most search engine position are NOT for auction. About 60% of the top search engines' amount of space available on a display is “non-paid” or "organic" making it apparent that 60% of the search engine visibility is because of the SEO. Relatively PPC campaigns are laborious, in addition to the click charges that the advertiser has to pay after set up is complete. PPC requires constant supervision because the PPC can be banned if they don’t qualify the stipulated terms of search engines perpetually. On the other hand SEO, when carried out ethically is done once and performs fantastically in continuance. Moreover, the labor charges of setting up and managing a PPC campaign are more or less the same than the labor charges of SEO, but then there are the continuous click charges you pay after set-up.
Another loophole that PPC poses is the ever-increasing prices, usually that are beyond positive ROI for your most important phrases, and the least of all PPC is increasingly beleaguered by array of "click fraud." These factors make PPC the second most cost-effective form internet marketing. So it is important to make a standing for yourself in organic listing of the leading Search Engines and after that to aim for a winning PPC campaign. To guarantee the success of the campaign, it is important that a reasonable price is paid for each visitor. It won’t be a wise decision to start off with a major investment.
Obviously, the leading search engines won’t try to dupe their user by only displaying the “non-organic” listing. Search Engines are smart enough to create a win-win situation by earning their trust, traffic, and revenues. Depending on the supremacy of the search engines, the prices per click is decided. Otherwise the minimum prices per click start at US$0.01 and goes up to US$0.50. Another factor that makes rudimentary is its instability, since PPC positions change perpetually according to the bidding tactics.
