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.

Search Volume, Organic Rankings and Adwords
Hi, I hope you can help. And if this has been answered before, I apologise. Just spent two hours searching but couldnt find much at all. So I have this website, and it ranks in the top 10 for around 150 keywords. Its fairly niche market for targeting the UK market, but subject is for a local area, its got a good optimised site, no link issues, works well, good UI etc. Problem I have is this. It used to get a fair amount of organic traffic a few years ago to generate around 30 leads a day, and back then that was from just one keyword. Today, we may get one a lead a day from organic even though we rank for a lot more keywords and our exposure all round is good. However, we also pay for adwords to make up for the lost leads, the same keywords we are ranking for organically! So we bid on adwords and get our 30 leads with the same keywords and monthly search volume as we have organically, yet we dont get any leads for those keywords organically. So Adwords produces leads, organic doesn't, but they are the same keywords and rank next to each other. How does that work? So my question is, why do our organic keywords that rank just under the adwords that we bid for, with the same monthly searches, only give us 1 lead a day (when they used to give us 30) and adwords now give us 30 leads a day? Thanks James

Paid Search Visits Not Showing Up in Google Analytics
Hey all, Just took over SEM for my company, and noticed a bit of a problem with GA. Whereas Adwords has registered 141 clicks on paid campaigns that go to the site, GA has tracked only 5 vists in that time. Two things of note: The GA account was not linked to the Adwords account until today, and also, auto-tagging was not turned on. I understand these two things are important to having proper GA tracking, but I just want to make sure that there aren't any other things I should check right now to make sure I start to see tracked paid visits again. Is there anything else I should try? Cheers.

Do organic penaltys affect paid prominence?
This is a hypothetical question, we're pitching to a potential client tomorrow and I noticed they currently rely almost entirely on AdWords but engage in some pretty sketchy link building schemes. And so that got me thinking, is there any evidence to show that when a site is penalised for their organic results it has an affect of any kind of paid searches?

Keyword Traffic - Does this count paid traffic?
I'm looking at keyword rankings, and specifically at the number under "Keyword Traffic" for one of my keywords, which is described as "how many visits this keyword has generated for your website". We run adword campaigns for some of these keywords. I'm wondering if this number is tracking visits from adwords or is this only organic?

Running Adwords Campaigns to show Improvement in Organic Traffic
Hi mozers, I have a new client who contacted because his organic traffic dropped all of a sudden from 5000 visits per month to 300 visits per month. I have been reviewing his website profile and there are several reasons that take me to beleave the agency that managed his account until 3 months ago, was doing PPC to show improvement in the orgranic (SEO Service) traffic. 1. The Website was showing traffic for several highly competitive keywords 2. Most of the traffic 95% was driven to the home page with several groups of keywords 3. The website has just a few external links with anchor text not related to keywords sending traffic. Is anyone familiar with this type of practice? Thanks in advanced.
