Otherwise, your site’s link will only be there on Google but hardly anybody will click on the link and visit your site. And if your link is on the second page then you have already lost the battle of competition. Nobody will pay so much attention to the search for your website on Google.

Although many folks say that website optimization is actually free advertising because Google never charges anything for making your website appear in the search results. But the fact is SEO is a long term process and requires both your time and money and a lot of work to get the actual
benefit. You may get the result after a few months. So in that case AdWords can be a great alternative. PPC and SEO usually work together to form a complete package of search engine marketing strategy or SEM and give your website good productivity.
