Agreed -- reputability is a factor when the search is consciously pre-disposed to a purchase. I don't think I agree that being able to pay for AdWords clicks makes you reputable -- but I agree it could probably shake-out that way in the mind of the average surfer. Actually, knowing what we know about SEO methods, the greater finesse and skill required, it's probably the other way around in reality -- in this biz, easier to write checks than think.
I'm really looking forward to GotWebHost's goodgirl's SEO Traffic Acquistion Discussion on Tuesday -- I'm sure she'll shed much light.
To finish my response to your, post (thanks, btw), skinnywussy -- the point is: differences in traffic acquisition method (even when the click is coming from the same page!) DO divide customer streams into different types that should receive different marketing treatment.
