PAY PER CLICK

Pay Per Click Advertising can make the difference


by Francisco Segura



For some time now, pay per click advertising has proved it is one of the most effective methods of traffic generation. For many companies, this is the only method they employ because the results speak for themselves. Quite often the reason people don't use pay per click is because they just don't understand it; this article should provide sufficient information to make things clearer.


Essentially, when you decide that you want to try this kind of advertising, you will create a small ad referring to your site that will be put up on a larger site that many people frequently look at. If someone likes your ad text they will click on your link and be redirected to your site and provide they stay for more than ten seconds, you will pay the hosting site some money as thanks. Now, the advert you have inserted on another site is directly related to the product or services the hosting site offers otherwise the advert would be wasted. However this is not the only advantage because you only pay for the advertising when it is used, which means if someone doesn't visit your site through the link you do not pay.


This is where the cost benefits come in against other forms of marketing where there is a cost up front without any guarantee the advert will even be noticed. While you may be worried that your competitors might click your ads to drive up your revenues, this is simply not worth their time and does not happen very often. Pay per click is one of the most targeted types of marketing available which means it is extremely cost effective for businesses that often lose a great deal advertising to those with no interest in their product. Your ad will only show up on sites where people are already interested in something related to what you are offering.


One of the largest pay per click advertising opportunities out there is Google's Adwords. All that happens is people will only see your advert if they enter a search phrase or just a single word that you have designated Google to use. If you have paid a great deal for the search term you may find your sponsored advert at the top of Google's search page or it might be at the side.


These instant results cannot be beaten in any other advertising medium and it is that attracts pay per click customers. It doesn't take very long for you to discover whether you will need to adjust the advert. For speed, efficiency and cost, pay per click search marketing is superior to just about every other method of advertising and that is why companies continue to use it.
