Advertise using Pay Per Click? What's That?

By:

Often the name for a process or a business doesn't make sense. If you step back and take a look 'pay-per-click' is one of the strangest, especially if you are not conversant with internet terms. But if you are conversant with the world-wide-web the term 'pay-per-click' makes perfect sense.

Consider this. Operating a webpage on the internet costs money, particularly if you happen to be a big, powerful search engine. You are going to have to pay the fees to hold on to your domain and pay for the staff to keep it up and running (after all, you are a big, powerful search engine, not some small soap opera review; your people are going to need to be on hand night and day and give you their undivided attention in order to assure that you are ahead of the game and operating as you should be).

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.

Then you see it. All those visitors coming to your site everyday, seeing everything you have on your pages. You could let people advertise on your site, sell them the traffic and a little space from your webpage. They get exposed to thousands of visitors and you can charge them whatever you like because they can't get displayed like this anywhere else.

There is one hitch, there are much more people out there doing internet surfing and seeing your page than are going to be people reading a newspaper or viewing the TV commercials.

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.

Think about thisthe more people that visit a webpage the bigger profits the businessman is going to make.

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.

They inevitably recoup the fee you charge them through the growth of their profit margin; however, you know the fickleness of web browsers and how they like to click on these advertisements for no apparent reason.

You decide to help these internet marketers by allowing them to decide when they feel that they have paid enough for your services; they can say that after their advertisement has received so many hits they want you to stop running it in order to decrease the potential expenses. That way if one surfer decides to be obnoxious and simply continues clicking on their ad you are not draining their advertising budget dry.

That is what is now known as pay-per-click (or ppc) advertising.
