It is also known as internet advertising or keyword
advertising or cost per click. Today, this is one of the fastest sources on the
internet for online advertising. When the people search anything on the Google
or on any other search engine, then after that the search results display along
with the advertisements that appear alongside on that page.
This online model is used by the advertisers for their
product or service and they had to pay to the publisher or a website owner,
whenever any visitor clicks on the advertisement. When the ad is clicked, then the visitor will
redirect on the advertiser’s website and this will help them to launch the
product in the market and to get the visitors. The main motive of using this model
by the advertisers is to only get more traffic for that particular keyword. It
is a very cost effective method and it will also help to beat the competitors
of online business, as it is the fact that doing the business online is not an
easy task. This advertising model will help the business owner to achieve the
desired goal. With the search engines, advertisers use the bidding system for
the keywords. But, the content sites do not use the bidding system and instead
of this, they charge the fix price on each click. This model is also used by
the social networking sites like Face book and Twitter.
You know that when the advertisement will display? It
will appear only when the query for the keyword will match with the keyword
list provided by the advertiser and also when the relevant content will be
displayed by the content website. These types of advertisements are known as sponsored
ads or sponsored links which appears above or adjacent to the search engine
result pages. The basic formula through which the pay-per-click is calculated:
Pay-per-click ($) =
Advertising cost ($) / Ads clicked (#)
