What Is Pay Per Click

By Clare Westwood


What Is Pay Per Click Advertising?

PPC is an internet marketing device that is used mainly in order to direct traffic to a particular site. The advert owner pays the website (if the ad is on a site) each and every time the ad is clicked. When search engines are involved there is usually a fee that the advertiser agrees to pay each time the ad is clicked on. Privately owned websites however, can choose to charge a certain fee over a fixed time period instead of using a click through system.

PPC implements on an affiliate model which provides opportunities wherever people are browsing online. It offers financial rewards (usually a percentage of the total revenue) to affiliate partner sited. The affiliates provide click through to the site hoping to make a sale. Pay per click is a performance model and variations include revenue sharing models, banner ads and banner exchanges.

Sites which use PPC advertising will show the ads when a particular keyword query matches up to the advertisers keyword list. Often it also pops up when a site shows relevant content to the merchant's site. These types of ad are commonly referred to as being sponsored links and they usually show up above or adjacent to organic search results on results pages as well as in other places that have been specifically targeted.

PPC service providers include Google AdWords, Microsoft adCenter and Yahoo! Search Marketing. These are the three biggest providers and they all operate on a bidding system.

PPC models are usually left open to click through abuse and other frauds. Google has now implemented an intelligence system that combats the level of abusive clicks a campaign might have. No method is perfect though as new frauds are created all the time.

When you are working in PPC attention to detail is key as often you will be dealing with large sums of money.
