Pay Per Click

What is Pay Per Click ?.

Pay Per Click or PPC is paid advertising in Search Engines. Advertisers pay the Search Engine each time a searcher clicks on their displayed advertisement or sponsored link. Since the advertiser pays the Search Engine for “each” click, the averaged cost of clicks in PPC is called “Cost-Per-Click” or CPC.

Using a system of bidding provided by each Search Engine, the advertisers can choose to have ads listed higher or lower for a keyword, depending upon how much they are willing to spend per click and the amount of traffic they want. Higher the paid listing on the search engine result pages (SERP), higher is the Cost-Per-Click.
