What Is Pay Per Click Advertising?

Of all the names given to all the processes and all the businesses, that don't seem to make much sense, pay-per-click advertising seems to make the least senseat least to the uninitiated. If you happen to be one of the people who are familiar with internet marketing and the 'world wide web' then you know that pay-per-click makes perfect sense.

Here is a thought. Running a site on the web takes money, in particular if you are an enormously popular search engine. There are fees and costs for everything from the domain to the staff that keeps the 24 hour a day process running and keeps the website in the lead on technology and features, and to maintain a smooth flow of operations

As was stated this isn't a free ride, there aren't people lined up around the block to give you the funds to operate your business, even if you are the most popular search engine.

So how are you going to earn the money that you need to keep yourself in business? After all, you already have a full time job; you're a search engine, you spend all day taking people where they want to go.

Finally it dawns on you each day hundreds of thousands of visitors come to your site. Everything on your page is there for them to read. Why don't you allow advertisers to use your space and your customers to sell their product or service. They get exposure, you get the fee you charge them and those charges can be whatever you like because you are the only on offering this kind of deal.

One problem stands in your way. There are way more people searching on the internet than there are reading newsprint ads and seeing television ads.

It seems unfair that you should charge them in the same manner as these inferior technologies for what is obviously a superior service. Then it comes to you. Pay per click advertising.

Here is a thought. The more visitors to his web site the greater the advertisers bottom line will end up being.

You can capitalize on this. You decide to charge the business owner for every time that a web surfer chooses to click on their advertisement to be taken to their website, whether the buyer in question chooses to make a purchase or not. You keep this charge small, a matter of a nickel or a dime per occurrence so that the advertisers do not complain.

Because they can gain back the fees you charge with the growth they have, there isn't a problem, but you realize that web surfers are often fickle and they sometimes click on the ads for no real reason.

You then come up with a way to help the advertisers by letting them choose a budgetary limit for the service you offer. They can set a limit of how many 'hits' they can get before they have their advertisement not be shown anymore to limit the expenses they may have. In this manner a surfer who wants to click on your ad many times will not be allowed to drain your advertising coffers dry.

Thus you now see before you "pay-per-click" advertising.
