How Exactly Does Pay Per Click Work?

November 18, 2007 by Admin

Pay Per Click, or sometimes better known as just PPC, is a method that many marketers of search engines use when they want to direct traffic directly to a website. There are mainly two reasons Pay Per Click is used;

1. In order to obtain more exposure for a high ranking website,
2. To get important exposure for all websites that are not yet at the top of the listings with their keywords.

With Pay Per Click you sign up or join one of the search engines. The two most popular being Google AdWords and Overture. When you have signed up with the engine, you create your ad, which should be made up of a catchy title, short description, and then the required URL. There are also some rules when it comes to posting ads with Pay Per Click, although not all search engines have the same rules so you might want to go through the guidelines of the specific search engines before signing up with them.

When your ad is completed, you will have to decide on a bid price. This is the price you will have to pay every time a web surfer clicks on your ad. That’s why it’s called “Pay Per Click, you only pay when someone clicks!
