Search Engine Optimisation FAQ
What Is Organic SEO?
So, what is Organic SEO or Organic Search Engine Optimisation? Well the search engine results pages are made up of both ‘sponsored’ (paid for) links and ‘organic’ or ‘natural’ positions which are the ones displayed down the centre of the page. Normally the top three (and recently the bottom three) are adverts that are paid for using ‘Pay Per Click’ advertising campaigns. This is where SEO really pays off because the clicks you get through SEO are free, you do not pay for the clicks. With PPC (Pay per click) you pay every time someone clicks your advert.
