How Pay Per Click Advertising Really Works

by Ahmed Elnaggar

Generating traffic to your website is hard process, but you should try pay per click programs because it will generate laser traffic to your site. Internet marketers were favoring the search engine traffic because it is free, but that was in the past. Free traffic sources become history because everyone in the internet knows that to rank in google you must get critical mass of links which you will pay to get it. The big different between PPC and free source of traffic that in pay per click programs you can get instant traffic, but to rank and to get traffic from search engines you must wait for more than month until you get real traffic.

In pay per click programs you only pay when a visitor come to your site. If only 100 customers come to your site through this ad every 10,000 time your ad appears, then you should know that you will only pay for the 100 clicks not for the 10,000 clicks. Now, if you made single conversion from every 10 customers and you are paying 0.10 cents for each ad, then you are the winner.

There are many PPC programs online that you can choose from it, but the best three programs are Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing and Microsoft Adcenter. Each one of them can help you to increase the traffic to your website, but you should know that each program contains pros and cons.

The best PPC program is Google Adwords. Big companies as well as internet marketers are using Google adowrds because they know it can generate laser target traffic. In adwords system there are two main categories which are the publisher placement and google search engine placement. If you choose the publisher placement then your ad will shows on websites that google is partner with, but if you choose the search engine placement then your ad will shows on google. Webmasters favor adwords program because the factors of ranking is function of bidding amount, site quality and ad quality. This means you can get higher position by building good site and writing better ad.

Yahoo Search Marketing program is the second PPC program on the top three list. In Yahoo Search Marketing the position of your ad is determine only by how much you are willing to pay and Yahoo do not care if you have better site or better ad.

The last one on the list is Microsoft Adcenter. Since Microsoft Adcenter is new there are few internet marketers do not know it, and there are few internet marketers use it. There are good feedback from the internet marketers that tested this system and they think this program can replaces Adwords and Search Marketing programs soon. Maybe soon Microsoft makes the ads also appear in the windows systems beside bing search engine, but I think many users will complain about that.

In conclusion, pay per click programs are the best solution for you if you want instant traffic, and you can start your first campaign with adowrds.
