Pay Per Click Advertising

PPC Or CPC and CPI or CPM comes under SEM (Search Engine Marketing). PPC or Pay Per Click Advertising is an internet advertising process developed to direct the users to a specific website whenever the Advertisement is clicked. In this method the advertiser pays a publisher (A website owner or network) for clicking the link of the ad or the ad itself. It is also popular as CPC or Cost-Per-Click. On ‘Content’ sites the PPC is also known as ‘Banner Ads’ and not termed as Pay-Per-Click ad. Now what is CPI or CPM? It is Cost-Per-Impression and nothing to do with numbers of clicks. The advertiser pays the website for Per Thousand views instead of per click.

Generally Pay Per Click Advertising is linked with premier search engines (such as Google Ad Words and Microsoft Bing Ads). An advertiser typically bid on keyword phrases relevant to his target market with search engines. On the other hand content sites commonly charge a fixed price per click rather than use a bidding system. Here PPC “displays” advertisements on web sites with related content that have agreed to show ads as Banners and these are not paid per click ads.
