Think of SEO much like plumbing. The individual pieces of pipe being your backlink profile while the water serves as the search engine traffic. Without all of the pipes adequately fitted the water can't flow smoothly from point A to point B.
The way SEO works is through continually creating new content that can be posted on or offsite. Some of this content will be posted on relevant non-competing websites with high domain authority with links back to your site. Google will see these trustworthy links and bump up your website in the rankings. With all this content and links, your site eventually makes it to the top for targeted keyword phrases opening the flood of traffic to your website.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) or PPC (Pay Per Click Advertising)?
First, it is essential to understand the difference between SEO and PPC. One builds established rankings for organic searches that can drive ready to purchase traffic to your site. The other requires you to pay for every visitor that clicks your advertisement, and once you stop paying, it all goes away. It is essential to use these services together using SEO to establish as many keyword rankings as possible while using PPC to target keywords that you have not yet got to the #1 spot.
