LET'S LET'S UNDERSTAND WHAT SEO IS FIRST

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of optimizing a website to increase its visibility in search engines. The higher your site's ranking, the more potential visitors it attracts. In order to get on the first pages of search results, an SEO specialist performs a set of tasks, including:

    Demand analysis
    Tracking results
    Increased efficiency
    Adaptation of content to the target audience
    Code optimization
    Improving the value of a resource
    Distribution of search queries, which depends on the promotion and semantic core of the site.

HOW IS SEO DEVELOPING IN GENERAL?

SEO appeared when the first search engines were created in the 90s. Previously, their algorithms were simple and focused on the presence of keywords in queries, which allowed spam sites to rank high. However, over time, thanks to search engines like Google, SEO has evolved significantly. The implementation of ranking algorithms and links to other sites have become an important factor in improving rankings.

Subsequently, SEO practice developed, new approaches were introduced, such as combating unnatural links. Over time, SEO has become more complex and more demanding on the quality of content, design and other aspects of the site, rather than just the number of links.

TRACKING PERFORMANCE RESULTS

The success of SEO promotion depends on the correct selection of keywords and the creation of a semantic core - a set of phrases that most accurately describe the structure and content of the site. The semantic core helps distribute search queries across site pages, which increases their relevance and visibility.

There are two main metrics used to track SEO performance:

1. Visibility is the site’s position for key queries in search results. 2. Cost of attracting one target visitor (CPC), which allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of SEO and determine how much it costs to attract traffic to the site.

SEO AND CONTEXT ADVERTISING

Contextual advertising is advertisements (graphic or text) that are shown to search engine users depending on their queries. The main types of contextual advertising include:

    Search advertising that appears in search results.
    Campaigns in advertising networks such as Yandex and Google, that is, advertising on third-party resources.
    Smart banners tailored to the user's interests.
    Mobile application advertising.

HOW CONTEXTUAL ADVERTISING WORKS

Payment for contextual advertising is usually made for each click on the ad. Cost may vary depending on competition in your niche and region. Often contextual advertising is used to quickly attract customers, and results can be obtained literally the next day after the campaign is launched.

However, contextual advertising also has its drawbacks: it requires constant investment, and as soon as the budget runs out, advertising stops. Contextual advertising is also not always cheap and effective for long-term projects, unlike SEO.

MAIN DIFFERENCES between SEO and CONTEXT ADVERTISING

SEO and contextual advertising have their own characteristics. SEO optimization helps you reach the top positions in search results within a certain time (about 6 months), but the results will remain for a long time. While contextual advertising gives quick results, it requires regular funding.

ADVANTAGES OF SEO BEFORE CONTEXTUAL ADVERTISING

1. SEO requires less ongoing investment than contextual advertising, and the cost of attracting a client using SEO is much lower. 2. SEO results last a long time, unlike contextual advertising, which stops immediately after funding ends. 3. SEO has a higher level of trust from users, since sites that are in the top results are perceived as more authoritative. 4. For promotion through SEO, only organic methods are used, in contrast to promotion, which can be used in contextual advertising.

TRAFFIC COST

SEO traffic attracts the target audience that comes to the site based on search queries. The cost of SEO traffic is significantly lower than that of contextual advertising. The price per visitor can range from 0.1 to 30 rubles, which makes SEO a more profitable option for long-term visitor attraction.

A NUMBER OF ADVANTAGES OF SEO TRAFFIC

SEO traffic has several key advantages: 1. Low cost per visitor compared to contextual advertising. 2. Stable and long-term results, since SEO promotion allows you to provide traffic on an ongoing basis. 3. High level of user trust, since sites that appear on the first pages of search results are perceived as more authoritative.

FORMATION OF THE COST OF SEO WORK

SEO services can be paid in different ways:

    Fixed monthly payment. This method is convenient for businesses with constant expenses and planning, for example, for online stores.
    Hourly payment. A convenient option for those who want to control the work on website optimization.
    One-time payment. Suitable for performing specific tasks in a specific time.
