PPC (Pay-Per-Click)

[pay puh klik]

Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising is a digital marketing strategy where advertisers pay a fee each time one of their ads is clicked. This model allows businesses to essentially buy visits to their site rather than attempting to earn those visits organically.

PPC ads are typically displayed above the organic search results on search engines like Google, marked with a “sponsored” label to distinguish them from non-paid content.

This form of advertising is particularly effective for large businesses that have the budget to invest in competitive keywords.

PPC is also valuable for its ability to target specific demographics, times of day, and geographic areas, allowing advertisers to tailor their campaigns to the most relevant audience.
