SEO vs PPC?

[sowmya]

SEO is all about traffic: it mainly focus on getting better keywords in most of the search engines as well as in getting high traffic to the site.. Offsite SEO, including link building, is meant to get more traffic.
"PPC can be defined as an advertising model where businesses pay an agreed upon amount, each time their advertisement is "clicked" and not each time their ad is displayed.

PPC is a great option in the beginning of online business but SEO can pass on benefits on long term basis.

PPC is instant but you pay for your traffic forever. It's like renting. You stop paying and your traffic stops.
SEO takes time but the rewards continually increase. Like paying off a home loan. At some point you could stop paying and you still get traffic.

I always prefer SEO because its a cost competitive strategy, while PPC is an expensive strategy so if you have tight budget then no need to go over budget.
