    IMO, I think SEO, for you can also do marketing strategies with it, you can include it in your link building and can be part of your web site promotion while optimizing your site to be ranked.

    SEO is better.
    When you do SEO, you are also doing marketing.
    When doing link building, you are optimizing the site to be rank as well as you are promoting the site to get traffic and targeted customers.

    marketing is easy anyone can start it
    but SEO it difficult not everyone can do that
    Marketing many rivals but SEO few
    you have to study/learn SEO & marketing no need to
    study anything
    if you want to start now go for marketing
    and if you are a quick learner try SEO
    if it doesnt suite you next minute leave it and join marketing

    best of luck :)

    I think you want to do both, but first priority would be SEO.

    SEO is going to be an ongoing process, but if you do it yourself it will probably be a lot cheaper than a marketing campaign -- unless you do that yourself too.

    I think you need to do both - but getting free traffic from search engines is better than paying for traffic through ads if you are just starting out.

    For me, SEO is also an Internet marketing channel, a really useful and efficient channel for the long run. :)

    With enough money, you do not need to optimize your site. If you can afford to buy TV commercials, radio spots, magazine ads, newspaper ads, email advertising,,,, people will find your site through other sources.

    Lets take a company like toyota, who can buy TV commercials on the major networks. Do your really think the need to optimize the site for search engines? Millions of people will be seeing your ad on TV.

    I believe seo is better because you can also use marketing at the same time.

    You can start with SEO but later at one stage you will have to invest big money in marketing as well.

    [FONT=&quot]The Web is growing by the minute. The reason why search engine optimization (SEO) is so popular amongst webmasters/marketers is that it is the best way to bring in traffic at low cost. Also most of the people have computers.[/FONT]

    Marketing and SEO are almost the same. When you say marketing it can be related to traditional marketing and online marketing(SEO). So SEO is only a branch of Marketing in the hierarchy. :laugh:
