Web Marketing : Pay Per Click Advertising
What is Pay Per Click Advertising?
Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising campaigns or programs are basically an online auction where parties place bids on keywords that will trigger a display advertisement to appear in the search engine results pages on Google, Yahoo! or another search engine. The ads are shown either at the top of the page or along the right column, depending on the volume of bidders. Google calls them "Sponsored Links", Yahoo! calls them "Sponsored Results" and Bing calls them "Sponsored sites".
What are the benefits of PPC?

- Only pay when someone clicks on your ad
- You may establish daily budget limits to control your costs
- Target regions, cities and languages with your ads
- Easy to use PPC management tools allow you to instantly update your ad copy, keywords and bids
- Tap into the millions of dollars that are spent on transactions initiated online
How Does It Work?
Let's say my website sells tea and accessories. I may place bids of 25 cents on each of the following keywords at Google.com: "green tea", "black tea", and "tea pot sets". I write an advertisement to go with my keywords. Within minutes my ad is showing in Google.com in the Sponsored Links section. I will pay 25 cents to Google each time someone clicks thru to my website from the Google search page. So if four people click on my ad today, I will pay $1.00 to Google.
