[LongTail]

the drawbacks compared to what? compared to not optimizing your website for SEO?

if you want your website to get found by searchers, your choices are to a) run a ppc campaign, b) optimize your site for organic rankings, or c) use both ppc and seo to market your site.

i choose option C.

and btw, if you do your keyword optimization correctly and conduct extensive keyword research and constant keyword discovery, you'll never overlook the important keywords. in fact, the opposite it true. by conducting keyword research, you will discover the important keywords.

good luck.

PPC and SEM both are important. This combination always gives you the best result.

I don't feel that there are more drawbacks from SEO, however, if you have excessive and spammy links to your site, that will hurt you.....

I think anything good and bad have to be the aspects in anything
even in the matter of SEO, however good it is, a small drawback will be there
i mean managing the keywords is very important if something goes wrong here the entire SEO will be a waste job

I think if you do SEO the right way there will be a small drawback, but if you do it on the wrong way like spamming, and other black hat method the result would be fatal to your site..
