Search Engine Optimization/Marketing and the Benefits:
People click 80% more on organically optimized
websites compared to 20% in the sponsored results.
It is well known that anyone or any company for
that matter can pay for a top position either
in the real world or in search engines. You can
pay Google's Sponsored result (Pay-Per-Click)
advertising program or Yahoo /Overture and find
yourself at the top on search result page.
However, if search engines are meant to show
results according to relevancy, than you may ask
yourself why do you need to pay for the placement
and why do you have to pay for clicks?
It is no secret that most consumers searching
don't generally trust websites that use pay-per-click
programs to appear on the front search result
pages.
The major reasons behind why you are
forced to advertise using Pay-Per-Click programs
is broken down in several areas.
First, your websites are lacking content and
you have to pay search engines just to be found.
Since 80% of the general population searching
online click into the 'Natural' or 'Organic' positions
on the search result pages they tend to get the
best business. That means that only 20% of customers
have a chance of finding you in the Pay-Per-Clicks.
To break it down even further, of the 20% that
may click into your site the realistic number
goes down to 3-8%. The reason is that in most
search engines there are only 10 results on the
first page and your position can change every
second throughout a 24 hour period depending on
the market.
Second, you are paying for Pay-Per-Click is that
your site has not had enough time in which you
have been found in the search engines and your
site is not set-up for 'Relevancy'. Organic SEO
keeps your website appearing on the search result
pages for a long time because your website gives
the search engines the exact relevant key phrases
searched. Relevancy is something you can only
achieve by having a professional SEO/SEM company
build for you.
As long as you ensure relevant content, other
websites link to you, and the search engines like
Google, Yahoo, MSN will place your site higher
in the search engines. Of course we are not discrediting
nor shun the use of these types PPC advertising
programs in fact we manage pay-per-click programs
very effectively.
