should we invest more on adwords and organic isn't important like before??
The first question..... Can you make a profit with Adwords? Most people don't make a profit and don't know it because they don't know their real costs and margins -- or they hire an SEO who bids without any of that information.
Second question... Can you pull off the rankings?... Most people can't... and that's why they are blowing their dough on Adwords.
Answer those questions and you know if you should take Door #1, Door #2, or Door #3 (which is try a different project.

I was reading as what brought in overall more compared to the two channels. I found data from Similar Web reports in shopping categories that 5% of all traffic came via paid and organic was around 95% (just the messenger on this).
Typically new sites heavily rely on generating traffic via ppc before organic kicks in. If you are generating traffic via ppc, take Roman's advice. Also, implement a good attribution framework to figure out your ROI or it will likely cost you. If you generate calls, get a unique number or use DNI to track your campaigns. Well worth the money.

Does paid search get more traffic compared to organic search now? depends on your budget and your ROI, the faster way to get traffic is paid search if you select this option you need to think about Optimization, Optimization and again Optimization, optimize ads, keywords, ads groups, audience, landing pages etc. This is the key, between a successful campaign and simply burn your money.
These resources are really useful for that
But trust me a Good Outreach campaign can boost your sale and audience in a way that PPC can not do. "Justin Howard" the founder of Sprout spent a year making guest posting even before he launch his website and get 50K subscribers just with outreachh.
So there is no right way all depends on your strategy.

Correlating Form Submissions to PPC vs Organic - COA
I currently don't use a landing page model. From either Adwords or Organic you reach our site, find the event product that appeals to you, and then fill out the form. I need a way to determine which of those form submissions came from Organic Vs Paid so I can calculate my cost of customer acquisition (COA). Via Google Analytics I can see that X amount of Organic were submitted and X of Paid. If I get 5 submissions in one day there isn't an efficient way to correlate the form submissions to the medium. Any suggestions on an attribute method that would help me sort out COA?

Best practice to separate paid from organic conversions in Google Analytics
I have a PPC campaign for a client with standalone landing pages with a form, not reachable from the website (although in the same domain). I've added the AdWords conversion code to the "thank you" page and I also added a Goal in
Paid Search Marketing | | DoMiSoL
Google Analytics whose counter is increased every time the thank you page is reached. This way I can track conversions with both AdWords and Analytics. Is that correct? Should I import back in AdWords the goals from Analytics, as suggested in the AdWords account? I have another landing page with a form in the website, where I send users coming from
organic search, so I set up a second goal in Analytics for the thank you page of this form. Is this the reason why I am supposed to import in AdWords the analytics' goals, so that I could see both kind of conversions in both accounts? But the most important question is: If I send both PPC/organic visitors to the same landing page is there still a way to separate PPC from Organic conversions? Thank you very much for your advice.

Will a javascript rewrite of city names on a home page from PPC traffic affect SEO negatively?
We have a client that was originally based out of Orlando and the entire website is SEO'ed for Orlando. In the long term we will start SEO'ing for Tampa. But In the short term, we want to drive traffic from Tampa to the website but we want that traffic to know the business specializes in Tampa service (he has local teams there). We are already using a ?_vsrefdom=changemynumber to change the phone number dynamically to a tampa area code for tracking purposes. We want to dynamically change all iterations of 'Orlando' with 'Tampa' using the same javascript. Does this cause any SEO problems or trip any alarms with Google?
