Search can be classified as either organic (natural) or paid. Organic results are those that occur
naturally in search engine results pages ( SERPS ) and high results depend on the natural
construction of your site and the content within it. Paid result often referred to as pay per click or PPC, are the results owners pay for and which usually surrounds the organic listings. Research shows web user prefer organic listings. For example my webdesignworkshop-usa.com is less than a year
old and I get a lot of leads from my organic listing. I have never ever done PPC like most new
business owners.
