Paying Per Click to Advertise Your Site
Advertising on the web has evolved a great deal over the past several years. From banner ads and branding style advertisements to the pay per click ads of Google and Overture, all are now used with varying degrees of success. Today, Pay Per Click advertising has evolved to allow for very well targeted delivery, based on content or on categories and keywords. Google and Overture have especially well advanced systems.
The design of the ads, the choice of keywords, and the targeting to content all combine to allow for great specificity in delivery that is simply not available in other media. Additionally, because the advertiser only pays when an ad is clicked, budgeting is possible in ways heretofore impossible. Bidding on the price per click (Cost per Click, or CPC) also allows for placement priority and for added budgeting of ad campaigns.
