Janeth. Great start on highlighting a PPC campaign! Your on the money about the effort required. Unfortunately, many people feel that PPC is the one-pill remedy. If only it were so easy!

The importance of organic anything today is that it is the cornerstone of interactive marketing, which is demanded more and more by prosumers.

Thanks for sharing your great piece on PPC.
All the best
