Affiliate Marketing vs. SEO/Internet Marketing Company

Hi,

Should I go for Affiliate Marketing or an SEO/Internet Marketing Company

I have found a really good Affiliate Program that falls within my budget.

However, before finding them, I was on the verge of commissioning and SEO company and I am now unsure which route to take because I can only afford to do one; SEO or Affiliate.

The information on the website of the Affiliate Scheme is very clear and seems to offer lots of benefits (i.e you only pay affiliates that generate you sales and the affiliates are usually quality inbound links)

However, I have no previous experience of the pros and cons of Affiliate Program vs. SEO Companies.

If I were to assume that both the SEO and Affiliate options were reputable companies/schemes (not cowboys), which should I consider first?

Thanks

James

Affiliate scheme will work well if you have a product with good potential for online sales. The best thing about aff program is that ther eis not much investment. You pay only a fraction of your profits.

SEO is going to be even betetr, long term. make sure that you find the right people and have real targets to meet, like treaching top 3 in x months time and pay only if you do so.

SEO takes a lot time, its harder, but generates more in the long term, but it can colapse either. AFF markt can bring results faster and doesnt need such an investment of time and money.
