Some things to be aware of…
Cost – PPC is generally more expensive than organic optimisation
Management – It’s your responsibility to ensure your search campaigns are being
optimised on a daily/weekly basis.
Auction Basis – Competitors often outbid each other for no1 positions – over inflating the
price of keywords
Users prefer organic – statistics show that only 27%* of Google Users saw PPC as relevant to
their search query *SearchEngineWatch 2013
Click Fraud – where are those clicks actually coming from?
