SEO vs. PPC (The Girl Next Door vs. The Gold Digger)
I would like to start this article off with two acknowledgements… 1) I know there have been numerous articles written about which method is better, SEO or PPC. I’m not going to make an argument over which is the best because I believe they work extremely well together in tandem (like a two headed dragon)
AND...
2) This is more for pure entertainment purposes and to get a good laugh. I work closely with our PPC team on a regular basis and wouldn’t want them to feel like they were getting slammed (just prodded a little bit).
Search engine optimization is like the girl next door because:
- She knows everything you need. Like a true companion she will make sure that all the things you need (organic traffic) will always be there.
= She is the kind of girl you want to bring home to your mom (not just once, but time and time again).
- She shows you love in several different ways (linkbait, optimized meta-tags, social media, etc)
- If you screw up (duplicate content, use of javascript in a menu, no backlinks) she has enough self-respect to leave you.
- NO MATTER WHAT… She is passionate and needs constant attention. Forget about her and you will watch her slowly walk away…
PPC is like the gold digger because:
- She doesn’t care what it is you need. She will throw everything (keywords) at you and hopefully something works well. The worst news? It’s gonna cost you a lot of money…
- She doesn’t care about meeting your family because she only wants to hang out while you keep giving her money. No long-term commitment here.
- There is only one way to her heart… Money.
- What does she do when you screw up? She takes you back as long as the price is right.
- She only needs attention when you have the money to take her on dates. Once the money disappears, she will move onto the next best thing (that still has money).
I hope everybody found this humorous and done in good fun. If anybody has anything else to add, let me know and I will create a revised version with some additions. Thanks everybody!

The comparison you made is pretty funny but it is absolute. You can dig it and need to expect for seo. seo reseller plans
PPC may be comparable to a gold-digger, but you forgot to mention how good a gold-digger can be at making you happy!!! Good article though, I thought that was hilarious!
