The essential difference that the people have on these two concepts is the rapidity. But this is a myth. PPC is faster but different in the terms of results. SEO id slower indeed, but is different of PPC. To understand the SEO results, it is essential to know hoe SEO techniques were implemented. Profound impacts can be drawn with optimized SEO techniques.
With this background, let us understand that Pay Per Click is a campaign of marketing. This model in which advertisement is paid is obviously an advertising model. But it is to be noted that Search Engine Optimization is not advertising. Thus this small difference can essentially define the difference between PPC and SEO.
Now it becomes important to know how PPC and Search Engine Optimization are connected with each other. Consider the following argument and decide the relationship between Search Engine Optimization and Pay Per Click Advertising.
We all know how online world has influenced people around the world. The consumers all around the world have told that the information from the sites helps in choosing a product.

Link building is a marketing technique that is difficult to control. Nevertheless your hard work can pay off whenever you see your site at the top of the Search Engines. You should also know that it really is not as difficult as you might think to get these links. All you really have to do is go to the Search Engines and search for other web sites who have keywords that are similar to yours. Once you have done this you can then visit these web sites in search of a link exchange opportunity. If you do not see one present, then you can always email the webmaster. However, you do not want to do this too many times or you can become blacklisted.It is also a good idea to create a page on your web site telling other webmasters that you are willing to exchange links. If you choose to do this though, you need to make sure to include your contact details on this web page. Though recent experiments says that link exchange are dead, they are no longer a sound method of building links. Search engine likes one-way links more.
From there you should begin working on natural back links because these will greatly benefit your web site since they are not forced, they are of higher quality and they are also more valuable to the Search Engines. These can actually be much easier to obtain but be sure to avoid link farms and spamming.

I decided to take a crack at Yahoo’s Overture PPC program today and stumbled across this page that talks about paid inclusion in Yahoo!’s Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). Now this doesn’t seem like bribery at first, but…
After searching some more (actually just read through my subscriptions) I found a post that gave me the information I was looking for - SERoundTable was talking about a different aspect of Yahoo!’s paid search inclusion program.
Originally he had his website banned from Yahoo! Search, and tried to get into their organic results by the regular inclusion, but they were refused. This user then decided to take a stab at the paid inclusion and Yahoo! took them back into their SERPs.
Now I’m not trying to say that this isn’t a good thing for that member, but this really diminishes Yahoo!’s credibility as a search engine if they are going to include websites (which their algorithm originaly banned) when they receive payment. This could mean two things:
* Either their algorithm has a flaw and bans good websites
* or they are willing to look the other way and manually include bad websites if they receive cash payment?
