PPC denotes Pay Per Click, which is a popular advertising tool / strategy on the Internet. PPC can be found on websites, advertising networks and most prominently on search engines. PPC advertising are basically sponsored links that are essentially in the form of text ads. These text ads are usually displayed close to search results. When visitors click on these links or banners and land on the advertiser's web page, an advertiser pays a particular amount to the website.   

PPC advertising in essence involves bidding for the leading position on search engine results and listings. Advertisers attain a leading position on search engine result pages by buying or bidding on keyword phrases that are relevant to their products or services. This then leads to a circle of events -  the higher the bid, the better will be the spot on the search results, the more the people will find the ad and eventually click on it to go to their websites. Advertisers are then supposed to pay the bidding price each time a visitor clicks on the ad through the website.

The various other terminologies used to denote PPC advertising are:

  • Pay per placement
  • Pay per performance
  • Pay per ranking
  • Pay per position
  • Cost Per Click (CPC)

The following standard procedure if followed to carry out PPC advertising:

  • Firstly, by setting up an account and / or by depositing funds.
  • Secondly by developing a keyword list.
  • Thirdly, by setting up an account with a PPC search engine.
  • Fourthly, by bidding on the ad placement that would  include the search result words or phrases.
  • After these steps are carried out, one must write out an ad copy, set up the landing pages for your ads and then finally place the advertisement in the search engine.

One must consider the following while planning a pay per click campaign:

  • Before considering anything else, take an inventory of the product / services that you have to offer.
  • Stay within the stipulated budget. Chart out your daily or monthly budget and stick with it. This means reminding yourself of your budget and avoiding bidding hassles if possible.
  • Know how to bid correctly. A bid that is too high can rip you off your money, while a bid that is too low could lead you to lose that spot.
  • You must carefully measure your profit margin against your spending or expenses. Know when to put a halt to your PPC program.
  • Last but not the least you must write effective ads. A good PPC ad is that which can persuade and impress a web searcher. The several approaches to this are discount offers, testimonials, celebrity / famous endorsers, money-back guarantees, free trials or sample offers, freebies to name a few.

You must maintain a professional-looking site and the content on it should be regularly updated and checked for spelling and grammatical errors. Your website should be simple and designed in such a way that it will be easy for visitors to navigate. Done properly, PPC advertising can be an effective marketing tool that will optimize the ROI.
