Organic Search Engine Listings

These are the listings found in the center of most
search engine returns. These listings are ranked based upon a algorithm
that looks at your page content, incoming links and overall site structure.
These listings take practice and hard work to achieve but can be a
highly cost effective means of driving traffic to your site. The clicks
generated by this listing do not have an associated click through charge
(see Pay Per Click).
Advantages:
- Cost Effective (no pay per click charge)
- Algorithms change on a periodic basis so pages need constant
"tweaking"
- Can cover a large number of keyword terms without loss to ROI
Disadvantages:
- Rankings can take 30 - 90 days to start showing up in the major
search engine results.
- The text of the listing is not as editable as a Pay Per Click
listing
- Ranking is not as controllable
