#5. Adwords : Safer and more Reliable than SEO
For Search Engine Optimization (SEO), your website has to go through a long period before earning the links and authority. However, Google AdWords work around nicely with other businesses increasing sales and leads since it is speedy and cheap to commence with when compared to SEO and the latter could be very complicating and confusing for some. SEO could be harmful and can do more harm than any good and one of the major disadvantages of using SEO techniques is that it could kill the reputation of your brand if done wrongly/overly/excessively, while there is no such threat using AdWords. We see a lot of websites (all types -bigger or smaller) getting penalized every time when a new update comes out from Google anti spam system (Panda/Penguin). There is no such punishment ( or rarely) for the sites using only paid advertising chances. Except, in case you breach the policies of Adwords, which is very unlikely if you follow their simple rules and guidelines.
#6. It is a complement to other Online Marketing Channels
Sales are raised when you use Google AdWords in complementing other forms of e-marketing like content marketing, and social media marketing (SMM) . In fact, AdWords is essential in remarketing your online business in order to target the individuals who have interest in your business. Some paid advertising experts also believe that if your are using Google Adwords for your website, it may be beneficial in ranking your site quickly well in organic search results for the keywords you are not using PPC for through Adwords. Though, i don’t have any personal experience with the above mentioned fact, but i do believe that using Google Adwords makes your website more visible on other search engines and it gets indexed very well by Google and other similar search engine channels.
#7. Simpler and more secure than SEO
Once AdWords is established, maintaining it turns out to need less effort and attention than the SEO efforts. It gives relief because you can rely on this PPC paid advertising and it can deliver leads without much strenuous work. While SEO could be complex and impose certain threats too. Not all SEO techniques are good, and sometimes you don’t have full hold over how the SEO might turn out in the end.
If you are going after SEO way, you need to hire SEO services from a very professional, reputed, and genuine company. And, most of the SEO consultants and companies use black hat techniques to gain quick success for their clients that could be very bad for a long run. They might place links of your web pages on sites that are looked upon very badly by major search engines, like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. End result : your site will be damaged in terms of reputation and reliability and it will not be well indexed by search as it should be.
#8. AdWords is overshadowing SERPs
Over time the SERP has been changing so that to adapt with the changing marketing techniques. This can be annoying to a lot of SERP users, but engaging in PPC could be a great idea to adjust your keywords postions in Google SERPs. This is because Google AdWords is doing well in terms of marketing and puts a lot of value in their paid advertisers. Using PPC techniques along with ranking through organic keyword traffic is the best way to get out maximum out of online web traffic. For the keywords that are tough to rank higher organically in SERPs , you can use Adwords PPC strategy and rule the web traffic.
#9. AdWords Formats are more engaging
With various new advertisement formats from Google, like You Tube ads, Gmail ads, product listing is proving to be more engaging to have more clicks to turn more sales to your business and also more revenue to Google itself. Google Adwords team is constantly engaged in developing more efficient and effective tools for their advertising partners. And, i would like to mention here that Google has got great techniques to detect ‘fraud clicks’ to prevent their advertisers from any money loss and they have made separate large teams of experts to handle only the fraud clicks on their ad networks of publishers (which is mainly through Google AdSense )
#10. Has better traffic conversion than organic traffic
Evidence reveals that the both online marketing approaches have great conversion rate but for the AdWords it is twice higher than the organic traffic. This is because with Google AdWords you are more likely to commercialize your ad apperances than just being informational. Organic traffic may go down due to a sudden rise of the similar webmasters who are competing for the same key words. There could be many factors and parameters that may effect SERPs for a certain web page that gets only organic traffic While paid traffic through Adwords PPC advertising may get effected probably only through one or two parameters, the first being the average prices for a certain keyword.
So, you can always stay on the top of it by investing more money and optimizing your ads in a better way. Though, the latter also depends on many factors. We will discuss that some day in some post.
