When you are new to the Internet advertising world, the term pay per click advertising can sound scary and all-too-technical for you. In actuality, pay per click advertising, being one of the several online advertising venues, is quite an easy-to-understand concept.
The most popular and widely effective PPC advertising network is Google AdWords. It is also Google's most lucrative and rewarding source of revenue. Different kinds of businesses, whether an e-commerce site, a brick-and-mortar store with an online storefront or one company that sells services instead of physical products, can benefit in many ways from using Google AdWords.
For one most important thing, AdWords management doesn't require you to work long hours so as to get you on the first page of Google's search results. Your PPC ad, once properly configured, can come up in any search that has your keywords less than half an hour after you approve it for publishing.
Organic Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), of course, has its own major benefits over using AdWords, the latter wins in the convenience department. For another, an AdWords advertisement never succumbs to the changes in Google's search algorithms. Unlike the organic search results that actually seen on top of the competition one day and struggling to break into the top five results in the next day, your advertisement is always guaranteed an above-the-fold placement.
So how does Google AdWords work? When you create its campaign, you are asked to provide keywords that are relevant to your business and a link to your site. Whenever someone searches for your keywords, your advertisement (Google officially calls an ad a Sponsored Link) appears on top or beside the organic search results. When the visitor clicks on your link, he/she goes to your site and you pay for that one click. If, however, nobody clicks on your advertisement, you are not required to pay anything.
Of course, you want a group of individuals to click on your link. One of the best ways to make sure that your AdWords ad is not sitting pretty and useless on top of a search results page is to choose high-quality keywords that used by people who will actually buy your product or services.
