What is "The Organic Factor"


Does anybody have a guess?


I can give you a hint....How do you Search the Internet?


How is your Blog or Website Found? Are you just leasing a space in Internet land, lots to sell or say and no one to say it to?


Welcome to the Organic Factor!

Hahahah!    So are you talking about search traffic you do pay for or search traffic you don't?

 That is a tricky question Lila1980


An Organic Search is nothing more than putting a term in the Search Box and letting it Spit out what it percieves as being the best "Fit" for your word , term? So we really dont "Pay" for anything. Unless you want to add the cost of DSL or Cable or Dial-up. How much do you pay for that click?

I meant the sponsored CPC search ads.  They still bring "organic" traffic don't they?

 Hey Lila,


PPC -Pay-Per-Click  /   CPC- Cost-Per-Click


Example 


Cost per click or CPC is part of the online advertising or marketing campaign. For example if you were to open up a Web-Store and wanted traffic you would set aside a budget to cover your AD-Words (Google). This is on a pay per click or PPC basis.



If you had  10k to spend per four weeks or 2500 per week on this ad-campaign, Google would average your PPC at 2500 a week This directly effects your search "Sponsored Listing"


If your CPC is set at $100 per click (based on keyword) that means you would "Run out of $$$" after just 100 new clicks "NOT" 100 new customers.


Example Keyword


"Conference Call"


This keyword phrase has an average CPC of about $50 


Armed with this knowledge you could go to Google  search "Conference Call" and look at the results. All the websites on the right are your "Sponsored Links" all the websites on the left are pure "Organic" search results. While the folks on the right are based on "How BIG the ad-Budget is" the folks on the left are concentrated on SEO (search engine optimization). So the "Sponsored Traffic" is based on a organic search relative to the ad-words budget. So say you want to pay 5$ per click to save your budget, your "Sponsored link" may end up on Page 12 -Right Side- of the organic "Conference Call" search. 


IF you wanted to spend 10K per day, there is a good possibility your "Sponsored link" would land on page 1(right-side) of the "Organic Search"! Does this make sense?


 


Going back to your question Lila1980,


Sponsored ads would not bring you pure organic traffic. It is a cost to the Website Owner Everytime the search result is clicked, and it would then be considered PPC-Traffic! Did I answer your question? There is a ton of info on the subject.  


The above should help seperate the difference between "Sponsored-PPC" & "Organic" Traffic.  And given the choice, which one would you rather have, the "Organic Traffic" or the "Sponsored Traffic"? Each has a use, one is less expensive. You will sometimes see these used in conjunction -"PPC or Cost-per-Click" & "Organic or Anchored" So which one would you rather have? Sponsored or Organic? No Brainer Folks, "ORGANIC"

FYI -I wanted to update with a little known quality score update.


The Google change went into effect with sponsored links "This Means" -it does not matter what the size of your sponsored link budget is. If your sponsored links are not set up correctly


ex -if I search fo hartmann luggage then the sponsored link should redirect to your hartmann luggage page. If your sponsored link redirects to your home page, this will lower your quality score. If it redirects to your Tumi Luggage section, then your quality score will be lower and your sponsored link will be penalized.


One of the biggest errors I am seeing is a specific category search ex. -if your searching for "blue widgets"- the sponsored link redirects you to red ballons. This will lower your quality score. This will get you penalized.


Bottom line, money is not an issue.

think...I've been selling search for a few years now and I am in the process of learning how to do this for myself...Question..say your bidding on a creative word that is going to come from the same type of customer...say nobody is really bidding on it the cost is low but the word gets traffic...so you place the bid...wouldn't you populate to the first page?  Because what I am seeing from my research is that there is CPC and CPM...So you can set  the campaign up for just  the clicks or the impression's plus clicks.  Which is another question in itself....Do you like one over the other?  Thanks.

That is a great question! - Thanks Win


I am going to answer your questions one at a time Win..

TOF - This is a great example why PPC Campaigns need human intervention. Optimize the ad for results. Sponsored links now have a similar relevant organic search engine result regarding quality score. Logic says yes your link would poplulate to the first page. The article below may bring this into focus.


 "Search Engine Marketing & PPC Bid Management"


This article(Like the post above) is geared towards CPC - And touches on the inherit financial risk to the advertiser. The ads are subject to being pushed back on page two, three, and four. This is a why sponsored link campaigns can not be left to run on software alone.


Where do you want these ads to be displayed? Are you in the planning phase of this campaign?
