PPC and SEO generate leads for home businesses, but which is better?

ALL websites are designed to do one thing, capture leads. Unfortunately not all websites have enough traffic to drive leads to it. Internet marketers that are successful at driving traffic to a good lead capturing website have learned to maximize the benefits of PPC and SEO. Even though pay-per-click (PPC) and search engine optimization (SEO) marketing are strikingly different, they both offer similar results.

What are the advantages of PPC?

Users can now get instantaneous results using paid advertising, thanks to the top search engines on the internet. PPC is also known as pay-per-click because it is basically paid advertising. No other form of internet advertising offers faster results for online marketers. A PPC campaign can be up and running literally within a few minutes. This form of advertising allows the marketer to know exactly which keywords yield the best results based on the number of clicks that an ad receives. Once set up the ads are distributed all throughout the web ready to entice visitors to the destination website.

PPC marketing is just as much an art as it is a science. Successful online marketers spend a great deal of time learning the technical.science of proper keyword selection for their PPC campaigns. Tools such as freekeywords.wordtracker.com and adwords.goggle.com/select/KeywordToolExternal supply the information for lead generating keywords. Once this science of attracting potential leads has been established, the next step is to get these clicks to convert into actual leads.  This is where the art of the message in the PPC ad begins to shine. In order for the PPC ad to lure potential customers, it must elicit some sort of desire in its compelling message. For example, Perry Marshall is noted for creating desire in his ads by saying the following. “Nobody who bought a drill actually wanted a drill. They wanted a hole. Therefore if one wants to sell drills, they should advertise information about making holes – NOT INFORMATION ABOUT DRILLS.”

What are the advantages of SEO?

Top search engines like Yahoo and Google are friendly to internet marketers that are patient enough to learn SEO. Search engine optimization is a little bit trickier than PPC but once mastered can product longer lasting results. As with PPC, SEO also generates traffic based on a single word, combination of words or word phrases. SEO rankings depend on two main criteria: (1) keywords and (2) competition for those keywords. Experience has shown that the first search term (i.e. meta tag) to get optimized is often times the first listing (non paid advertisement) on the search engine results page. It is also apparent that seniority plays a large role in the search result outcomes. At least that is how Google favors certain search terms.

Which is better?

No one can say which is better; however, the lead generating results from PPC have proven to be faster than SEO. Another advantage to PPC is that it can help a website get optimized by providing back links to it (thus enhancing its SEO capability). On the other hand, SEO costs the online marketer nothing but time and “know how” to get high first page rankings.  And SEO remains on the page for as long as the search engine will allow it to be there.

Tiger Woods Scandal – Will His Golf Business Suffer in 2010?

How has he established the Tiger Brand?

Over the years Tiger Woods has built a golfing empire. His success playing golf has allowed him to receive hefty royalties from endorsements such as books and apparel. Tiger has positioned himself in such a way that these royalties function as “derivatives” to pay him and his family over and over again. In essence the Tiger Woods brand/image is iconic to golfers around the world, because no one can deny that he’s one of the best at his business. THAT WAS UNTIL THE 2010 SCANDAL!

What has actually changed?

Unfortunately for the Tiger Woods brand/image (and ultimately his family), his personal set backs may negatively impact on his business in 2010. Unless he can remain focused and somehow restore his image in the public eye, the Tiger Woods brand/image and business will ultimately suffer.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

But it doesn’t have to be that way for his business. Nor does it have to be that way for internet marketing or online business. In fact, because of social media sites like FaceBook, YouTube and Twitter, the online marketing business is thriving in 2010 and well beyond. And yes they are free advertising platforms for all types of opportunities. But only if they are used correctly.

What’s the correlation?

So exactly what does Tiger Woods and internet marketing have to do with a home based business opportunity? In a one word answer, they both incorporate “branding.” The Tiger Woods association with golf is synonymous, because he has branded his image to represent one of golfs elite players. Those that are successful online marketers have learned this and have built their home based business empires by replicating the process.

The brilliance behind the Tiger Woods model is that he figured out this one simple strategy. Once the dust settles, he’ll continue building the Tiger Woods name in association with golfs elite again. This will once again provide him with derivatives that will pay him and his family over a lifetime.

Are you using techniques like these to build your internet business?
