Benefits of Pay Per Click (PPC) Marketing

What is PPC you ask? PPC advertising is a type of marketing on the internet where the advertisers only pay for the traffic they receive. PPC services are specifically geared towards search engines and advertising network websites, where the business agrees to pay a certain amount each time someone clicks on their advertisement. When setting up the PPC campaign, advertisers will choose keywords; those keywords are used to determine what sites come up when certain words are searched.

For instance, if you search San Diego Web Advertising, you will see ads to the right of the page, those are your PPC local search results.
