Boosting traffic and improving your ranking with leading search engines is much like gardening. You need to sow the seeds by tweaking your sites optimization, you need to regularly water and weed your site by increasing your link popularity and planting enough links pointing to your site all over the web and then you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor after a period of time by way of free flowing targeted traffic and improved search engine placement.

Organic SEO has been defined by most as ethical SEO techniques. Basically, organic SEO is the harder way of optimizing your website by creating meaningful content, implementing link building campaigns and creating an informative and interesting user experience via interactivity and better design, without employing paid programs such as PPCs. It requires more work regarding improving content, improving the SEO employed on your page by way of HTML tags etc. but in more cases than not it has been worth it. After all, prized petunias are not grown overnight.

As a short term strategy pay per click campaigns give you the advantage of almost immediate results, driving targeted, qualified traffic to your website in a matter of days or hours. Organic SEO on the other hand, can take months to show results. But, these results are long term, as they are on the basis of features of your site itself not on external, periodic ad campaigns. If your site can attract traffic, unless you really mess it up, it can keep the traffic as well. Pay per click advertising also has the disadvantage of cost. The more competitive your targeted keywords get, the more expensive they shall become, sometimes costing about 100s - 1000s of dollars a day!

Organic SEO techniques are like cheap seeds that give you juicy tomatoes over the season, but may take more time to ripen and more weeding and fertilizing.
