Thread: Advertising on TV is better than SEO

As many have adopted this, people making there online business exposure by TV ADS in one time many millions of people see that and from the millions its obvious thousands will click.that means its better to go for TV Advertising to hire a SEO Team..??

I depends on your ROI (return on investment.) There are several niches where TV time has had a big payoff and others where you'd do better to buy adwords and hire an SEO team.

However, if you're selling someone else's product, I'd get permission up front and in writing. It could be a violation of your terms of service AND trademark infringement.

If you're selling your own products - again - what's your ROI for TV ads, versus the net?

2 completely different advertising mediums. But first, let me put the record straight. SEO is not an advertising medium. One isn't better than the other. An apple is not as or better tasting than an orange even if they both satisfy your hunger. They both have a different ingredients. Apples have more vitamin A and oranges more C. Offline vs Online.

TV will still reach more households as of this writing. Net Advertising is still in it's infancy stage, but you specifically said SEO, so let me comment on that.

Whatever SEO team you would chose, the reach would not occur overnight while advertising on TV can be overnight!

We can't make a direct comparison just like that. I grasp your question and trying to answer it, but SEO is NOT an advertising medium. It is an optimization technique.

Perhaps, you'll want to rephrase your question. If you are trying to ask, what is best. I would answer, "for overnight reach or long term.

Take care,

some nice points here

Tv Ads not create web presence, SEO does aso seo is better thatn TV ads!

these are 2 different media, for some products, of course TV advertisements are more better. But for some, Tv advertisements are just useless. So it depends on what you are advertising.

Both have different visitors and people around, like there are many internet addicted that do not watch TV, and stay on net, and population of net addicted is growing up day by day ...

Also i am sure that, " No One Can Get Back Link From Any T.V Channel "

If you have deep pockets and competitive but very profitable niche market, then it works I think.

Godaddy.com is a perfect example.

Hello,

Television is powerful media and it is very beneficial but when you compare the budget of ad campaign on television and SEO you will see the difference, you can gain big profit fro,m your SEO if you spend half of the TV ad budget, choice is your but i tihink for long term benefit SEO is better option.

This true but tv ads cost way more money thought.

The conversations are very less and the price of advertising on TV is very high.

This is why you do not use tv for internet marketing much better for physical products like ceral.

if you have lots of money that should be good.

Let's put it this way. Let's face it, not all households around the world have television. Same as saying that not all people have their own personal computers. That would, I agree, depends on what products or services you are selling and advertising. The advantage of television is that viewers can see the products very visually with the help of a model or celebrity. In this case, viewers can be move emotionally and personally by the product and by the model. Of course, when you are a fan of the commercial model, surely you'll buy what he/she is endorsing.

I think you are right and TV source is very important and fast way to advertise or to get clicks but SEO have another results it give you good and strong position in search engine results, and make your site strong to get good position in search so i think these two marking polices have their own value.

TV advertisements are the traits of big and established brands. For small and medium scale businesses, it will be a luxury. For them seo is a not less than a blessing and a cheap and handy way to run their enterprise.

However, if your capital allows, you shouldn't give it a miss.
