Pay Per Click marketing is THE growth industry on the web. PPC, part of online advertising, has overtaken radio advertising in 2005 and the trend looks set to continue. In 2004 over £5 billion was spent on advertising online but many businesses have yet to make the most of this new way to reach customers.
How Pay Per Click Advertising works
In basic terms, pay per click advertising allows you to bid on keywords that your customers use when searching for your services. The beautiful part of PPC advertising is that you only pay when someone clicks on your advert; if they don’t click, you don’t pay! PPC campaign budgets are dictated by the advertisers so when your budget runs out, your adverts disappear. This means you can easily manage your advertising costs without any hassle.
Typically PPC adverts appear on the right hand side of search engines and occasionally above the ‘natural’ listings. An example is shown below;
There are three main pay per click advertising providers which businesses can use for pay per click advertising; Google Adwords, Overture and Miva (formerly E-spotting).
