Myths of the Importance of Organic Search
So there seems to be some misconceptions as to the importance or relevance of organic search results. As social media platforms have grown their members and advertising base they have also found a way to monetize their sites and show profits for their shareholders. Just as Google did, these social media networks have found that they have lots of information on their users. And they can capitalize on this information by allowing advertisers to tap into this source of data for a fee. They are all forms of pay to play or pay-per-click campaigns.
A business sets a dollar budget to spend daily to show their products or services to the audience on the social media platform of their choosing. This can be an effective method of advertising for some. But most have found that these are great ways to get their brands recognized or to keep in touch with those that have experienced their products.

While seeing wonderful pics of your friends and family you see sponsored ads of products and services that you may or may not already be aware of. You might even take note of them and want to try them. And after eight or nine times of seeing the ad you might try the product.
