SEO or Email Marketing?

Hey guys, I know this is a rather broad topic, but a lot of people want to know...

And i know the answer already... I just want to see how other people look at it... Proper email marketing with optin, coreg, or survey leads is faster at making your site come up in the rankings... but are the rankings really what is important?

Or, at the end of the day... isn't it the total sales you've generated more important?

Just a thought for discussion. At data4marketers.com we supply all of the optin data that's going around, and our clients are steady: meaning they wouldn't keep doing it if there wasn't good value in what they're doing.. Yes, we do sell coreg data below industry rates, and there is value in doing so, but we also carry the largest selection of data available.

Now, if you can do SEO real good... how long does it take to get things started where you would be happy with the income you generate? 3 months? 6 months? A lot of companies can't wait for this kind of wait for a turn-around. Let me hear some optinions...

Often people ask how we are able to offer genuine optin data for so cheap.. A lot of times it will be the same database offered at a competing site for only 30% of the price... It's because we have a low overhead, low advertising budget, we're not greedy, and because of this we can pass along the savings to our clients.

Also, I would highly recommend a special we are doing right now for our daily/live coreg feed: 7+ Million records of coreg data from over 50 different sources AND the month's supply of very high quality double optin, phone verified survey leads (110,000 records) I'm selling the package for only 300$ total. This is one heck of a bargain, and a great new,way of driving in a great response for your email marketing campaign.

I would still go for SEO. Having a good ranking in Google means generating good traffic from a wide variety of users and potential consumers. Email marketing has many limitations, including low conversion rate, spam filters, etc.

even I would stick with SEO. Email marketing is just a way to get visitors attracted to your site and also you are unsure if you will get the visitors by just reading your emails.

On the other way you get natural traffic from SEO through Search engines

I would still stick with SEO. Email marketing runs the risk of alienating potential customers and spreading negative feelings about your business (when was the last time you were happy to receive an unsolicited email??).

Ranking is definitely a decisive factor. You can't ensure regular income from online sources without securing high ranking position in Google or in other search engines.

Even when marketing messages are from known senders 56 percent considers it spam if the messages don't happen to be interesting to them.

I don't think i am gonna do it over SEO. :arrow:

SEO delivers better results than email marketing. So I would pick SEO as my main marketing strategy. It's what I know best.

You need to do both. You really cannot survive long term without both having good rankings and offering an email newsletter and building relationships with your list.

A large number of people use the "report spam" button and their reason for reporting something as spam might come as a surprise to some people.

And maybe E-mail is going to be a past thing in the near futhure.
