In the land of digital marketing, we come up with some pretty unique terms. Backlinks, black hat, [heatmap](https://www.tributemedia.com/blog/use-heat-map-software-improve-website-user-experience), keyword stuffing, schema markup, and slug. These are all jargon, and if you're not in the marketing biz, you probably have no idea what they are referring too.

If you have had experience running a Pay Per Click campaign using Google’s platform AdWords, then you know how important it is to organize your campaign properly and allocate the right amount of your ad spend budget to each campaign. The execution and overall success of your advertising campaign will depend on each campaign's targeted locations, demographics, keywords, landing pages, and how all of those relate to each ad group and overall campaign.

Would you believe me if I told you that the first page of search results for "SEO Services" is different for John Doe in downtown Seattle using a laptop as opposed to someone sitting three miles away searching the same term using a phone? It's true.

That's why I want to smack some sense into any web marketing agency that claims they can get any website on the first page of search engine results. It's a very misleading statement, and simply too vague to be credible.

Have you ever wanted to be a fly on the wall at your top competitor’s office when they plan their [PPC (Pay-per-click)](https://www.tributemedia.com/digital-advertising-pillar) strategies? I know I have!

You should always be knowledgeable about what your online competitors are doing. But if you're not into espionage, there are other effective ways to keep your eye on your competitor's strategies. And here is something else to consider: your offline competitors are not always your online competitors.

## [Pay-Per-Click vs. Organic: Explained](https://www.tributemedia.com/blog/pay-per-click-vs.-organic-explained)

[![Pay-Per-Click vs. Organic: Explained](https://www.tributemedia.com/hubfs/Blog_Images/Organic_vs_PPC.jpg) ](https://www.tributemedia.com/blog/pay-per-click-vs.-organic-explained)

I am often asked what the difference in cost is between pay-per-click (PPC) and organic SEO. As obvious as it is to me what the differences are, when I try to explain it to others who are not as "nerdy" as I am, often the response I get is the deer in the headlights look. Mostly people think that you have to pay for ads on Google, Bing, etc., and not for organic first page rankings. Not the case.

Over time, I have attempted dozens of analogies to explain the differences between the costs of first-page placement for organic and PPC. I think that I may have finally found a way that helps people understand and that they can easily relate to- the cost of an athlete versus a non-athlete going to college.
