Organic search results are always better and direct traffic is really false on a service where people log in everyday. False numbers.

Direct visitors can convert into sales at a 100% rate, but if they make only 5% of the site visits it doesn't really matter as most sales (in terms of volume) will still come from other sources. 3-For more competitive keywords (web hosting, real estate, money and finance related for instance), SEO may actually outperform PPC since the cost per click is quite high while there are many companies available for the client to choose from. 1-A good question by SEO Expert, how did the type-in clients found the sites at the first place?

If you have gained enough interest for a potential customer to bookmark your site, of course your chances of converting will be higher. Organic traffic has produced high numbers of repeat visitors for us so it's hard to knock successful SEO.
