Organic vs. PPC
Paid listings can show up instantaneously, however, each visitor is going to cost you. Sponsored listing run on a pay-per-click model. Meaning you can be in any position you want for any keyword you target. But at the same time you'll be bidding against other websites that want the same positions. Each keyword has different bid prices depending on the engine, industry, keyword and website.
Say you want to rank #1 for the term "New York Car Dealership
Chances are you will be competing with 20 - 1000 other websites for that position. Currently the average cost per click for the 1st position for that term is ~$42.59. It's not always that expensive. A similar term "car dealers in nyc" is only ~$3.96 a click. Meaning for every person that visits your site, you’ll be paying $3.96 or $42.59 per visitor to your site. So if you want thousands of visitors to visit you site, it can be very costly. But if you have a good site and product, it can be profitable.
SEO is a whole another arena even though sharing the same search engine ranking pages.
