        Does paid search get more traffic compared to organic search now? depends on your budget and your ROI, the faster way to get traffic is paid search if you select this option you need to think about Optimization, Optimization and again Optimization, optimize ads, keywords, ads groups, audience, landing pages etc. This is the key, between a successful campaign and simply burn your money.

        These resources are really useful for that

        But trust me a Good Outreach campaign can boost your sale and audience in a way that PPC can not do. "Justin Howard" the founder of Sprout spent a year making guest posting even before he launch his website and get 50K subscribers just with outreachh.

        So there is no right way all depends on your strategy.

          I was reading as what brought in overall more compared to the two channels. I found data from Similar Web reports in shopping categories that 5% of all traffic came via paid and organic was around 95% (just the messenger on this).

          Typically new sites heavily rely on generating traffic via ppc before organic kicks in. If you are generating traffic via ppc, take Roman's advice. Also, implement a good attribution framework to figure out your ROI or it will likely cost you. If you generate calls, get a unique number or use DNI to track your campaigns.  Well worth the money.

            The first question..... Can you make a profit with Adwords?   Most people don't make a profit and don't know it because they don't know their real costs and margins  -- or they hire an SEO who bids without any of that information.

            Second question...  Can you pull off the rankings?... Most people can't... and that's why they are blowing their dough on Adwords.

            Answer those questions and you know if you should take Door #1, Door #2, or Door #3 (which is try a different project.
