In this section we look at the advantages and disadvantages of SEO and PPC and then techniques to use them best in combination.
Strategy 2. Affiliate Integration Strategy

Affiliate marketing can be powerful in extending your reach and share of search, but there are challenges in controlling costs and avoiding conflicts.

Paid search gives an opportunity to improve the results of these campaigns through integrating paid search with these other media.
In this section we look at alternatives for integrating paid search with these other techniques.
