PAID ADVERTISING
PAY PER CLICK (PPC)
With the Pay Per Click (PPC) internet advertising model, marketers are charged a fee each time one of their ads is clicked. It is a technique for directing specific users to websites by placing advertisements on websites, social media platforms, and search engine results pages (SERPs).
Advertisers bid on particular keywords related to their goods or services in a PPC campaign. Relevant advertisements appear on the search engine when a user enters such keywords. Hence the term “pay per click,” advertisers only have to pay when a user clicks on their advertisement. An auction-based mechanism is used to calculate the cost per click (CPC), with the highest bidder and ad quality score usually securing the top ad placement.
PPC has a number of benefits. It offers immediate awareness since, as soon as the campaign is begun, advertisements may show up prominently on search engines or other platforms. Because of its ability to target precisely, adverts can be delivered to a certain audience depending on their demographics, interests, or search activity. In addition to offering quantifiable outcomes, PPC offers comprehensive analytics and conversion tracking, enabling data-driven adjustments and campaign performance evaluation.
