Search engines optimization

What is SEO (Search Engine Optimization)?

An example: your company repairs GM cars in Los Angeles. The goal of SEO is to put your web site as close as possible to top results of the search by phrases ‘GM car repair Los Angeles”, “Pontiac repair Los Angeles” and the similar, ideally on the 1-st page.

Why?

Little statistics for the start: according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project researches, 84% of Internet surfers use search engines, 54% do it every day and 68% rely on such information as trustworthy and objective. Also, the half of users do not browse more than 2 pages of results, therefore, the closer your site to #1 position, the bigger its chance to be noticed.

So, the search engines are the valuable source of a big and quality audience for your web site. If you are interested in a long-term and quality growth of your web site traffic and, as a result, new clients, you should bring your attention to search engine optimization.

Search engine optimization and CONTEXTUAL ADVERTISING

What is the difference between SEO and CONTEXTUAL ADVERTISING:

• Using CONTEXTUAL ADVERTISING, you pay directly to search engine(s) - with SEO you pay to SEO experts, and your site appears in a non-paid portion of search results of several (ideally) engines.
•  CONTEXTUAL ADVERTISING gives an instant result - for SEO you need to wait for some time (typically 1-3 months).
• SEO effect “lives” some time even you stop to work under it - CONTEXTUAL ADVERTISING works only while you are paying.
•  CONTEXTUAL ADVERTISING gives you a guaranteed result - with SEO we (and any other reliable expert) can not give 100% guarantee of your top position for any keyword in any engine, what we guarantee is the increase of the target traffic.

What is better for you, SEO or CONTEXTUAL ADVERTISING?

The definite answer can be done only after your individual needs, goals and limitations are researched, while there are some common recommendations:

In most cases, the combination of the CONTEXTUAL ADVERTISING and the SEO brings the best result, SEO allows your site traffic long-term growth, while with CONTEXTUAL ADVERTISING you can solve quick issues, like attracting users to actions/special events or getting top positions on very competitive keywords, that you have failed to reach with the SEO.
