06-Feb-2025The digital advertising model PPC (Pay-Per-Click) allows advertisers to pay fees whenever users activate their ads through clicks. The advertising method primarily supports website traffic generation while it closely ties to search engine advertising platforms Google Ads and Bing Ads. The main purpose of PPC advertising is to place targeted ads in front of potential customers who seek information about relevant search terms through search engines.
How PPC Works
Businesses that run PPC campaigns participate in bidding for exact keywords that match their operational area. The search engine presents advertisements to users who query relevant keywords for display in both search results and partner platforms. The advertiser incurs payment expenses through search engine platforms according to the total number of clicks their ads receive. The fee associated with every ad click amounts to CPC (Cost Per Click) and it changes based on keyword competition strength and the quality and relevance scores of ads.
