Difference Between Organic SEO and PPC
The most noticeable difference between Organic SEO and PPC Advertising is where your listing would appear on the search engine results page under each method.
the PPC listings on a Google results page are displayed as the top two or three listings (in a light colored background and labeled “sponsored results”), as well as on the right hand side column. Note that there are not always PPC ads in the top region, generally you'll only find that for search phrases where there are alot of firms bidding for traffic. If only a few firms are competing for the paid spots, you'll generally only see the ads on the right side.
Organic listings are also sometimes just thought of as the “regular” listings. They are displayed in the green area as shown.
Traffic Potential of PPC vs. Organic
Another key difference is the traffic potential of each method. Its generally much faster to obtain paid listings. It only takes a day or so to set up a campaign, although it can be an ongoing process to really manage it efficiently.
The organic listings actually tend to produce much more traffic for the same search phrase, all things being equal. Generally most studies show users are three to five times as likely to click on a site in the organic listings than to click on a paid ad in the search engines.
