Comparing Organic Search vs. PPC

Tuesday, December 16, 2008 by Ali Sales Roach
Last week I wrote about the comparison in effectiveness between organic search and PPC.

Compendium Blogware helps organizations win organic search by using business blogs. The funny thing about a corporate blogging strategy (with the intention of search engine optimization) is that is more easily compared to PPC than just about anything else.

Consider that the average marketer buys 1,000 keywords (at least) to win in the PPC area...and based on the effectiveness or winning those same terms organically (10 x more effective than PPC!), then of course any smart marketer wants to show up for those 1,000 keywords in the organic results.

There is a way to accomplish this (of course the answer is starting business blogs with Compendium). In fact, several of our customers have found that comparing the cost of their blogging program with Compendium against the cost of buying those same terms for PPC is the best way to prove the value of their company blogs.

I'll leave you with this graph from a customer that shows exactly what their blogging program costs per year (they are winning several thousand terms organically with it) vs. what those same terms would have cost to buy.

Ali, Great blog! I'm co-founder of a startup, www.ShowcaseU.com, and making the decisions to ride soley on SEO in these early stages doesn't seem like quite enough. After reading your blog and digging into similar articles...it seems we are doing the right thing, but maybe not efficiently enough. Cost effectiveness is such an important role when you're on a budget! Organic, I like the term. My name is Chad Durbin, and I'm also a Major League Baseball player for the Philadelphia Phillies. We won the World Series this year, still hasn't sank in all the way. Maybe never! Google it, I can't believe it either! I'm joking about Googling me...but it has been an incredible year. Building a startup and playing baseball...who'd have thought!?? That being said, my co-founder, Jake Chapman, is from Indiana and has been ranting and raving about Compendium Blogware for some time now. He's spoken about Chris Baggott and either plans to reach out or has already. Congrats on the success at Compendium. Jake loves it when Indiana companies break through and do well! I think you're doing great things and wonder if there's a way I could seek out some of your expertise on the startup front. ShowcaseU.com plans to be a client of Compendium Blogware, but I'm kind of fishing (as a fellow entrepreneur) for a networking opportunity. Too bold? I hope not! Again, great article and hope we can connect. Have a great day, Chad Durbin chad@showcaseu.com
