Organic traffic is often considered superior to paid traffic for several reasons.
First and foremost, organic traffic is driven by the genuine interest of users in your content or offerings, resulting in higher quality leads and potential long-term customers. It is also a more cost-effective and sustainable approach, as once your content ranks well in search engines or gains traction through word-of-mouth, it can continue to attract visitors without ongoing advertising expenses. Furthermore, organic traffic tends to build trust and credibility for your brand, as users perceive it as a more genuine and reliable source of information.
In contrast, paid traffic can be costly and may lead to less engaged visitors who are more likely to bounce without converting. Therefore, organic traffic is often the preferred choice for businesses seeking sustainable and high-converting online presence.
The intention of this course is to empower you with the basics of what you need to know about content marketing so that you can start your organic content marketing plan as soon as possible.
