Google Adwords or SEO

Ok, What is the cheapest method success wise? Is it better to use Google Adwords or to use SEO? Is it best to combine the two for the best success?

I have a couple more questions...

How does seo work?
when writing keywords do you do it like this...

1) comics, Comics, Comic, comic, Best, best
2) comics, comic, best,
3) best comics, best comic

How exactly does this work? Also what would I be spending to get the top of google, yahoo and msn?

I litterally have no money for marketing are there companies which will partner with you on a payment plan?

Thank You!

Honestly, if you want any of these methods to work, it's going to take time and money. SEO is basically "content" -- Write as much unique and relevant content that you can on your site. Break the content up into separate pages. The way you show your keywords (like above) doesn't really matter as long as they are on the page, clearly (not spammy).

PPC costs $$, but it is very good at delivering targeted traffic. But, if you don't invest in it, you aren't going to see the returns. I tell my clients to start with $50/day for each campaign (at least the first month to get the campaign optimized). Anything else is hard to work with, if the numbers are too small.

Good luck!

Organic rank building (SE O) gives the best ROI by far. I don't fool with PPC at all. It can get great results, but you'll pay 5x as much for them, and the results stop the second you stop paying.

Organic SEO is the way to go....PPC is great if used properly; however it also matters what your "holy grail" keywords are....you targeting comics?

Keep the ecommerce pages SEO friendly...you can use mica 5 ($35 a month) with SEO friendly plug - we did it for AllFreshSeafood.com (# 2 in Google for fresh seafood)....

If budget is tight be sure to read my SEO book and view one of three SEO training videos - it WILL help!!

Good luck!

I would say SEO is the way to go but does take time and it is free but if you have a new site that you want to get out quickly then ppc like Adwords is a great way to get it up and running and earning revenue from day one.

Thanks for the advice, considering $50 is out of the question for each day even $20 I will do SEO.

No, I was using comics as an example.

Or check out Stuntdubl and read any of his tutorials, the guy is one of the TOP SEO guru's out there.

He's got several thousands of dollars in free SEO knowledge on his site.

Can you explain what this "mica 5" is? Google search of this term didn't yield any helpful results.
