Hi Guys
New to SEO and pay per clicks.


My question is, I have been using the starter edition for google PPC, should I change and upgrade to the standard edition? Will this save money by me being in controll of biding on the key words? ex. lake hartwell real estate, lake hartwell property

Or should I forget this all together and hire an SEO person?

The standard edition gives you more control and options.

SEO is great for long term results, but if you are a relatively new agent, with a brand new website, or one of the many basic template sites, it can take quite a while before your site starts ranking well. PPC can give you a jump start on generating business quickly. It can also carry you through periods when Google and the other SEs go through their periodic algo changes.

Doing PPC effectively is a science, and also an art, to some extent. Dig through the many threads here for some great tidbits.

Ronnie is correct. PPC is pretty good for a jump start and SEO is better for longterm results.

I highly suggest reading at least 5 books/courses related to Google Adwords before you start using it. The more I read about it, the more mistakes I realize I'm making or have made. It gets quite expensive. You don't need to throw your money away like me and thousands of others have done to learn. There are less expensive ways to learn what works and what doesn't.

The latest and greatest (it's kind of advanced) Adwords read is "How to Dominate Google Adwords". I got it from Frank Kern's blog. Frank is a marketing genius.
