These are all such simple and basic question!

Tell you by the way:
Search Engine Optimization in a part of Search Engine Marketing, Social Media Optimization is one strategy of Search Engine Optimization. then Pay per click is another SEM technique used by search engines and website owners to generate traffic for websites.

a good webmaster won’t go for ppc…rather organic results

Why? You might as well say that a good product development team would never go for TV adverts and would just rely on word-of-mouth.

For any search query, there’s only one #1 spot in Google. Only one website can be there. You might be in a very competitive sector where there are dozens of good websites that you’re up against. You can have a fantastic website, a great product and hundreds of links but still not make it into the top 3.

If advertising brings in more money than it costs you then it’s a successful strategy.

All these terms comes under online marketing so the purpose of these online marketing terms is to just get organic traffic although PPC is paid services to get traffic.

Its all related to getting traffic to your website form organic search engine, paid search & social networks like facebook, twitter& linkedin.

Most of them need Search Engine as: google yahoo bing etc…
