1.   It is not invisible: You might not be able to put your hands on it right away but there are ways to physically see and feel movement. A search engine marketing company should be able to identify exactly what it is that they are doing each month. You should be able to physically see the efforts that have been conducted. If they tell you that it is their own secret recipe I would be very wary about this because there is no secret recipe when it comes to search engine marketing.

2.   It takes time: Regardless of what you do or how much money you pour into your SEO efforts your rankings are not going to grow over night. Things take time and if you are in a competitive space things might take even longer. You will see some movement fairly soon but cold hard rankings really don’t happen right away. You need to be patient and wait your turn.

3.   Trickery does not work: Try to get the idea of performing any trickery on your website out of your head because you could end up just landing yourself a penalty in the search engines. Black hat SEO only creates short winded rankings that never really stick around for the long term.

There is no doubt that more traffic comes from Search Engines and I agree that if you have a good online presence, it simply makes it easier for people to find you. It is also more apparent than ever, that when you use Social Media correctly, you can get your Social Media to "pop" on the Search Engines without much effort as long as you have your Social Media foundation built correctly. So, why not take advantage of the best of both worlds? Here are some stats:

While Google actually has more hits and is visited far more times, the users are on for just brief periods of time. As of August this year (2011):

• Google was ranked the top site with more than 176 million unique visits in that month.
• The second most visited was Facebook with just 163 million unique visitors in the same month.

The time that was spent on each site, however, turns the tables upside down instead:

• The average person using Facebook spent about 7 hours and 45 minutes on the site in a month.
• Google’s visitors, however, spent only an average of 1 hour and 47 minutes on the site throughout the month.

It is in my opinion, in the very near future, Keyword and key phrases placed in content, while important, will no longer be the gold standard in optimizing content.

It is apparent that you have to employ both methods; SEO and SEM, to get the best of both worlds as rankings Marketing methods and where users spend their time is on social media sites.  It you use only one method than you would be losing a lot of business either way.

I do agree with you but not completely because search engine traffic is only the part of traffic. We can get traffic from other sources also like from social networking sites also.

Despite that truth that Matt Cutts said several years ago (and it was widely reported) that Google doesn’t use metatags in search engine optimization, some still believe they’re significant for rankings. PPC campaigns are a wonderful way to generate traffic to your website quickly, while some time is taken by SEO strategies. But why would any search engine allow your PPC campaign to change your search engine position? Do you believe they’re penalizing Amazon, among the most successful businesses with a PPC campaign? Even today there are people who still see social media as a waste of effort, and when there is no strategy in place it may be the case. Social networking can help create backlinks which assist in getting high search engine positions.The more hyperlinks I have the higher positions I may have. True, having some links helps, for sure, but it is more about the relevance and quality of links than just the quantity. I cannot tell you how often I have noticed a site with much less links outrank opponents with a large number of links. Anybody who performs search engine optimization wishes this were the situation because if this was the case it’d make things a lot more simple for the majority of us. You can examine almost any market in Google and execute research and see URLs with lower PageRank ranking above those with higher PageRank all over the place.
