    They cant even be compared to each other. They are two completely different things. I would utilize both SEO and E-mail marketing IMHO. Use SEO to gain some organic rankings to bring in the traffic. Then with a well thought out e-mail optin form you capture their email to market to them later.

    Neither alone. Both can help in the bigger picture, but they cab work together not in the "competing" mode.

    A good SEO has a better effect in most cases. It is necessary to explore demand for products and services through keyword research.

    Yes. In fact S.E.O. and/or S.E.M. can be used to build a good e-mail marketing campaign, which shouldn't be confused with SPAM

    According to my opinion, if you are running small business then Email marketing is effective than SEO. So do not waste time on SEO, just do Email marketing and avail the opportunity to enhance the business.

    No, I don,t think that email marketing is better than SEO because the conversion rate of email marketing technique is lower than SEO. Due to this plenty of companies are using SEO and PPC methods for his business promotion

    Agree with WebHostors, email marketing and SEO are both good market channels. Email has slightly different outcome, however, depending on where you get your lists. I have a couple of examples where the lists are based on scraped email addresses and it tends to have a negative impact on the brand. Many dislike spam and it grows easily to start bad discussions in forums, etc. SEO should be seen as a long-term effort if it is to be done "right" and I would recommend to start working on it from day one. An ROI may take up to 12 months in some cases. If you have the opportunity to work with SEO in-house I would recommend that you do so though SEO is expansive to outsource.

    Email marketing is one part of SEO campaign. For those who think SEO does not work, they should remember it requires good long term planning and decision making with considerable hard work.
    Like you cannot satisfy your hunger by just one bite, you cannot reap ranking benefits by a short time doing SEO.

    In my opinion, email marketing and SEO is better than using one method only. The two should not be underrated. You need email marketing to maintain visitors and sales. You need SEO to get traffic and potential subscribers.

    It depends on your project because if your site is relevant to the product or e commerce site then email marketing is good way. If your site relevant to the any erp software or other services then the lead conversion ratio will be very less.

    With SEO work you need to work with someone who has an insight into your business and the results you are looking for. SEO is something which takes extreme amounts of time to achieve but when you do get the results, you will be highly profitable in no time. It incorporates writting articles, posting links (not link spamming), and a lot more features to get the results you would like to see.

    email marketing is one of the things which you can do with off-page SEO.
    Firstly all of us should think about great and unique content and on-page optimized website

    Email marketing or SEO !!

    Considering the importance of both the marketing channels, SEO & Email mktng needs at the same time, if an entrepreneur seeking for long term goals. SEO is time consuming but its goal conversion.. Email marketing in the same time has its own plus points, but both of them can work equivalently. I followed a site long before in SEO Chat.

    In my opinion SEO is more effective than Email Marketing..

    IN SEO, we can drive free traffic and conversation through search engines. But in email marketing we need to pay for that...!

    In SEO, we can drive targeted traffic through our website.. But in email marketing, we can't drive targeted traffic,..

    you should focus more on SEO as after your site is properly SEO optimized and has lots of visitors already, you can create a landing page to get your targeted visitors email then hit them up with your email promotions.

    In email marketing, where do you get those mail id from ( let assume 5000 - 10000 mail id's)??? In each email id is your targeted customers??

    If not, then how will you drive targeted traffic?? Then , how can you convert the sales through email marketing..

    In most cases, unfortunately your sent mail will be get into trash folder.. Isn't it?
