In these conventional forms, you cannot determine whether your revenues are caused by your advertisements or rather caused by other factors. You cannot determine if you are getting conversions or should I say customers from just knowing your product or services to actually buying or using it. Also, according to some research, it is much, much cheaper to advertise in SEM.
