PPC Search Management

PPC (pay-per-click) search advertising programs offer online advertisers an immediate way to generate targeted web site traffic by buying sponsored links at Yahoo Sponsored Search, Google AdWords and Microsoft AdCenter ad networks. When sponsored links are accepted in the ad networks, they appear on the search results pages of Yahoo!, Google, Microsoft Bing and a variety of other syndicated partner search engines.

To get listed in the pay-per-click sponsored listings, advertisers first set up an account at the pay-per-click ad networks. Once an account has been established, advertisers compete against each other through a hybrid auction style bidding system for ranking on keyword phrases in the sponsored ad listings. A combination of bid-per-click price and ad click-through rate achieves a certain placement within the sponsored listings on the results pages at Yahoo.com, Microsoft Bing, Google.com, AOL Search and other syndicated ad network partner sites. Advertisers have a high degree of control over the amount they are willing to bid for each keyword and their position in the listings, although on Google AdWords, Yahoo Sponsored Search and Microsoft AdCenter, advertisers can't control whether they're in the top positions simply by boosting their payments per click.

Technically, pay-per-click listings or sponsored links are free and advertisers only pay for clicks (visitors) they receive from the search engine listing. The exact position of the sponsored links on the search result page may vary from engine-to-engine. Sometimes they appear above or to the right of the unpaid natural or organic listings, at other times, they appear at the bottom.
