In one B2B study we did, PPC actually out performed organic search for white paper registration too. The reason? I believe as humans we are inherently lazy shoppers, Personally, I figure, if the advertiser is willing to put his money where his mouth is and pay for my search terms they must be very confident they have what I am looking for. We all have hit the I feel lucky button, only to be disappointed in the results. I see competitive keyword strings with 50+ keyword advertisers, If I am not in the top 10, I would hedge my bet on and be on both sides of the aisle. Interesting B2C statistics.
