Discovering Pay Per Click Advertising

By Brian Basch

Pay per click may sound quite strange to the uninitiated. However once you use this form of advertising you will find the name is actually very appropriate.

When you think about it, Search engines can be quite pricey to manage especially if they are quite big. There are many things that will cost money; for example 24/7 support, website maintenance to name just a couple. It is a round the clock business that must inevitably cost a certain amount.

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.

Think about it. The more visitors an advertiser gets the better his profits will be. You can take advantage of this. You will charge the advertiser for every click he gets on his ad, it will not make any difference if he gets a sale or not. You also make sure it is a small amount per click to keep the advertiser happy.

All of the money the advertiser spent on pay per click advertising will be made back in sales. However sometimes searchers can click on the ads with no intention to buy. To prevent huge losses for the advertiser you implement the option to put a cap on the hits or bids so that only X amount of dollars will be spent for each campaign. This will stop the advertiser from losing out if people randomly click ads.

This is what pay per click advertising is all about. An easy method of advertising with scope for making a good living, the advertiser will sell his products and you will make some extra money.

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. - 16651
