Pay-Per-Click (PPC)
advertising is a model in which an
advertiser is charged a specific fee each
time a user clicks their ad and is
transferred to another Website. This is
different from the impression-based, or CPM
model (cost per 1,000 impressions), which is
standard in traditional media and graphical
interactive advertising. With Search Engine
Marketing, the price per click is often
determined by a free-market auction. The
higher the bid, the higher the advertiser’s
message will appear on the search engine
results pages. Some examples of well known
Pay-Per-Click advertising networks are
Google’s AdWords network and Yahoo!’s
Overture network. Also known as: Pay For
Placement (PFP, P4P) and Paid Placement. |
