SEO or Email Marketing?

datamaster · 04-07-2009, 09:08 PM

Hey guys, I know this is a rather broad topic, but a lot of people want to know...

And i know the answer already... I just want to see how other people look at it... Proper email marketing with optin, coreg, or survey leads is faster at making your site come up in the rankings... but are the rankings really what is important?

Or, at the end of the day... isn't it the total sales you've generated more important?

Just a thought for discussion. At data4marketers.com we supply all of the optin data that's going around, and our clients are steady: meaning they wouldn't keep doing it if there wasn't good value in what they're doing.. Yes, we do sell coreg data below industry rates, and there is value in doing so, but we also carry the largest selection of data available.

Now, if you can do SEO real good... how long does it take to get things started where you would be happy with the income you generate? 3 months? 6 months? A lot of companies can't wait for this kind of wait for a turn-around. Let me hear some optinions...

Too broad of a topic. At the end of a day, sales do make the rankings!!! In my opinion they go hand in hand. The website you are displaying has a ranking of over 2 Million and would not be of interest to me because of the ranking although I would keep in mind that your targeted audience may be offline, hence, the low ranking.

we supply all of the optin data that's going around, and our clients are steady. What do you mean by that statement? Steady Clients = website traffic = higher rankings.

Now on a good note: The website has a good design and great potential if marketed properly. Good luck...

You bring up a good point. Our company offers all kinds of optin data for different countries even. Not just consumer data, but also B2B and BIZ data... The survey leads we offer are also known to be about 3X as effective as coreg data... But nonetheless, even though we offer optin data, and at the lowest prices that can be found on the internet, it seems like more people might be integrating SEO as an important part of their overall marketing campaign...

Of course I think both email marketing and SEO provided value and give proven results. I have done both and I've honestly got a better response from SEO. I think it really has to do with the keywords you have chosen. And yes, it may take more time to get ranked but it a constant stream of site visitors when you are ranked.

Email marketing is good for a target audience and for traffic and with SEO results would be great if optimized properly and depending on the quality of the sites content. But there are some who uses email marketing to spam and con people.

Email marketing helps in targeted traffic where as the SEO will provide keep on providing you visitors for long term

This is a good question.

We believe that these sort of go hand and hand.

You use great SEO tricks and methods to get visitors and traffic to your site, capture the interested one and then use Email Marketing to target your targeted market visitors.

So all in all these both go hand and hand and are both needed for a successful marketing campaign.

Email marketing shows short-term gains in traffic whereas SEO delivers long-term sustainable results and income on any site with a limited budget spend.

Email marketing to get the same type of return as SEO means you need to constantly re-email day after day, week after week, month after month.

With SEO you do it once and it delivers its impact indefinitely.

I go for SEO coz email marketing is just short term useful but SEO long term

coderea · 04-09-2009, 03:32 AM

If you would optimize your site .i.e SEO your site ..you expect to see let's say 1000 visitiors in a month or so..who are dropping at your site through various keywords, niche they are looking for....however with email marketing ..if you have 1000 leads..chances are that constant email marketing with cut your leads to 100 at some point of time..
So now it is you to decide what is more beneficial in long term.!

Email marketing is losing effectiveness day by day. The stats show of this matter and many people might be simply deleting the commercial letters they receive even unread.

If you get to the top of google and yahoo for the search terms you want you will fair much better than any email campaign, but you are right the problem with google and yahoo is they do take into consideration the age of a website when ranking them. It also takes months to build up the amount of backlinks to build enough for a good rank.

yes, its better if you have a top rank keywords for your site. Doing an email marketing will not affect your rankings because its for target traffic only.

It has to be SEO, as SEO is for the long run, and an invest able asset, email marketing is short term, and you have not investment in an old email list.
