It is important for a website to be well optimized so that it will rank high with the search engines. However, this procedure takes time and continuing effort. Often companies will employ both strategies for their website (Ranking high organically with SEO and utilizing Pay Per Click.) PPC is also a good option when a company is just beginning to get its website optimized but still wants excellent exposure. Many companies will continue to use PPC even when their site is optimized and on the first page of results. This is done to get the extra name recognition and to get additional hits. It is similar to having two ads in a heading in the print yellow pages. Studies show advertisers will get more response with the additional ad in the heading. Also, the major search engines including Google, will often change their algorithms (way they rank websites). This will throw many of the organic, optimized listings far down in the rankings and off the first page. In this case, it is a good idea to have the PPC advertising in place to continue to be on the first page of results and get hits.
