Discovering Pay Per Click Advertising

By Brian Basch

The name "pay per click" might sound a little alien to some, but once you have used this promotion you will find the name is well suited to this method of marketing.

Stop a moment and think of all the expenses that running a large search engine incurs. A few examples would be employees, website maintenance, and management. This is a 24/7 business, with support and tech staff having to be available around the clock. Running a business costs money, as nothing is free.

In order to offset these costs it is wise to think of ways to earn some extra cash. Time is limited but consider this concept. Substantial profits can be made from those who are already using your search engine. Let advertisers place their ads on those search result pages for a small price. You will make money and the advertiser will get a lot of views to his ad.

One problem arises. You are offering much more exposure than the local newspaper and other conventional medias so you really want to charge a good price for your improved service. Then you suddenly have an ideapay per click advertising.

How about this fact? Advertisers need more visitors to make money. You can take advantage of this fact. You can charge advertisers a nominal amount of money for each click on their ad. This can be done, whether sales are made or not. This will work out well for the advertiser as it will not cost them too much.

This is because the advertiser will make back the money he spends on advertising with you in increased profits. Of course you are familiar with the fact that searchers will simply click on ads due to curiosity. You add another option to the advertiser, he can put a cap on his bidding, or hits, so that he is in control of how much money can be spent on a campaign. This means that if there is any problem with people clicking on the ads unnecessarily the advertisers budget is saved.

So in a nutshell, this is what pay per click means. It is a wonderful idea and there is a possibility to earn good money. You will cover the costs for your search engine and the marketer will be able to increase their sales.

Armed with the knowledge about pay per click advertising you can now try it yourself. You will find it an ideal partnership of your search engine and the promoter. Both of you stand to earn good money.
