Advertising on Pay Per Click Search Engines
Pay per click or paid search is a great way to get instant traffic to your site. Think of it as "traffic on demand". If you have an offer or promotion that needs attention now - you can't wait for a search engine to crawl, index and rank your page. You need to be able to generate pageviews and the fastest way to do that is through paid search advertising.
Whether the model is pay per click (PPC), pay for ranking, or pay for inclusion; it has become a good way to get fast, targeted traffic. You bid for keywords or pay a fee and the search engine serves up your listing along with other results when a user enters a query. The fee you pay can vary based on each search engine's pricing model.
As a professional marketer, I've used a number of pay per click search engines for various clients and I've found that each search engine has varying results depending on my client's keywords and industry. While the bigger players like Google™ are better for some projects, the second tier engines may provide a better ROI because of their lower costs. Most have a low initial minimum deposit so it is wise to run a test campaign before making a large investment.
