Well.the first thing Google Offers Pay Per Click (ppc) Services through Adwords Program and not CPC or cost per click.

And PPC and SEO bith have their own advantages and disadantages.

In PPC you get instant resuts and as soon you stop paying your ad will stop showing and SEO is long term process require patience as it results in long time.

SEO service are for long term purposes especially optimizing your site both on-page and off-page. CPC are for short term only. Once you stop using CPC and you won't pay anymore to do that like Google, it will give a big different result in terms of traffic.

Well, SEO for the new site is completely different story. Some SEOs not even talk with you when they see that your site is completely new.

It can take years in order to get good positions in SERPs for the new site, but sometimes you may get results after one week. Everything is depends on how competitive is your niche.

For the new site you probably have to start with PPC and at the same time you need to work on your organic positions in SERPs.

Also getting good positions in SERPs and having a good traffic doesn’t mean that you are going to make money. It is a lot of other stuff involved. Like landing page, keywords conversion factor and so on… I just send you PM.

I am not aware about their services, your budget seems ok, try to search few SEO company and check the site they have done SEO and shortlist accordingly to finalize one that who can bring best result.

paying for traffic helps in short term as a few mentioned. But that still cost money to get results. Work on good content and good flashy images and do some nice link exchanges to bring traffic to you that is a bit more targeted and may even come back.

Well.......flash or other images should be avoided as much as you can if it becomes important to use images then must add a liitle description through alt tag in your image.

[Tkilgore]

LOL... not flash as in FLASH .. I mean some nice .. images.. and YES..alt tags work .. well.. Tk

if your going to use PPC your going to want at least $400 a fortnight, but preferably per week.

and as far as seo goes $400 is nothing.

You have a long time of sitting in front of your PC building links and writing dribble content imho.

I agree with you... It is better to be practical...

Simple - If you want a long term traffic and rankings. Go for Organic SEO Services and If you want a short term traffic and leads, you can go with PPC advertising campaign management services by Google.

And even, if you can merge both things - that can be really good for you.

First of all, what type of business are you in? If you offer design, web, etc. then SEO IMO is useless. I would rather use that money to hire some college student to help generate some business. Maybe pay them $50 per new client. They'll eat that up and find you some great clients because they need the cash. It's expensive to go to school these days.

If you offer products where people go to your site and buy, then SEO makes more sense and then you are better off using something like shopping.com or another service like that where you will get listed and pay per lead.

It all depends on the products/services you offer. If you're a coffee shop, why would I want to go to your site other than to get directions or store hours.

Another option is to throw a little get together and invite local companies that could use your services and/or products. Face to face is much more effective than PPC/SEO. I go to 4 networking events a month and I always come back with 30 or so new business cards and usually get 4 or 5 clients per event. The key it go after them and not wait for them to come to you. Be aggressive but not pushy and never, ever sound desperate.

SEO is more of a long term process, and going cheap will not necessarily give the best results. With CPC you can get going within an hour but you will need to track your ROI since it can prove quite costly.

I'd recommend a combination of both. PPC is great to give you a kickstart in the short term...SEO works better long-term. In the end a combo provides the best results. Unfortunately, with a budget that low, you will pretty much be limited to do-it-yourself SEO, your money would probably be best spent buying SEO Book, or a membership to SEOmoz.
