How Pay Per Click Search Engines Work

How Pay Per Click Search Engines Work

Pay per click search engines are an effective way to attract cheap, targeted traffic to your website. The best and most popular pay per click search engines are Overture (GoTo) and FindWhat.

So, how do these sites work?

Advertisers bid on search result words and phrases. A Pay Per Click (also known as Pay Per Ranking, Pay Per Placement or Pay Per Position) search engine enables you to list your site at the top of the search results according to the keyword bid.

You list your website by selecting keywords that refer to your product or service. For each keyword you determine how much you are willing to spend. The higher you bid, the higher you will appear in the search results.

In pay per click search engine, you only pay for clicks or click throughs to your web site. Pay-per-click search engines play an important role in driving traffic to your site because you only pay for actual clicks. It is risk free and a cheaper alternative to listing with the bigger search engines.

The Pros and cons of Pay Per Click and Affiliate Programs

 

Here are some advantages and disadvantages of PPC affiliate programs:



PROS

  • You make money without having to sell anything. If your content is good, you make more money because the number of visitors will increase and the chances of increased clicks on your PPC ads rise.
  • Your customers get to see the kind of ads that they want to see, instead of some banner-exchange trash.
  • You do not have to canvass for advertisements to support your websites. Neither do you have to negotiate with clients.
  • Most likely, you do not have to pay anything for signing up as an affiliate.

 

CONS
  • You have to wait till a decent balance - usually $ 100 from a good ad network - accumulates in your account before you are paid.
  • If click fraud happens from your site then expect fireworks and degrades.
  • Sometimes when you are planning to launch a website along with a PPC affiliation, you cannot because the ad network will say that you need to have a website up and running before pasting PPC ads on it. Alternatively, your up and running website may be rejected.

 

No matter what the cons of PPC affiliate programs are, the pros outweigh them any day.
