You've no doubt seen the little box ads, often on the right hand side of the search engines results and often on other websites as well. Pay-per-click advertising is an effective and targeted form of online advertising that allows you to control the costs of your advertising by only paying when your interested visitors actually click through to your website.

So What Is Pay-Per-Click Advertising?

At it's simplest PPC is a three line ad that often appears on pages with the search results. The ads are shown when keywords, or search terms that are entered into the 'search box' by users of the search engines and then trigger your ad to show.

Advertisers 'bid' on keywords and link them to specific ads that will show as a result of the keywords being used in the 'search box'.

Simple Yet Highly Targeted

Pay-Per-Click's seemingly simple system has an amazing array of tweaks and twiddles to help the affiliate advertiser target 'exactly' the type of customer they wish to market to.

Unlike print or billboard advertising, which is untargeted & doesn't appeal to 90% of the passing audience, Pay-per-click has the ability of only being seen by the target market, people who are highly interested in what you are advertising, making it highly affective when used at it's best.
