Ever since Google AdWords made its grand splash on the market, pay per click advertising has become the latest rage in internet advertising. The ability to write an ad and allow a search engine to do the rest of the work for them has turned out to be a proposition that many advertisers find impossible to say no to. In concept the relationship is one of symbiosis. Ads are written by the advertiser and used by the search engine to help find potential buyers. The advertiser gives a fee to the search engine when the potential buyer chooses to visit the advertisers site. When web surfers put a search term into the browsers search box the search engine displays the advertisers ads at the same time as the search results are displayed. In the real picture though the process is not quite so simplistic. The practice of choosing a keyword can be complicated. It often is not enough to simply access the tracking tools available through the search engine. Each of the keywords listed there are used frequently and therefore are going to turn up pages upon pages of results. Since the average web surfer is going to lose interest in the hunt for information after the first five or ten pages it is important that an ad be among those five or ten pages in order to realize a profit. The difficulty in this is that the right to be among these top search results is determined by the amount of money the advertiser is willing to pay "per click" for their ad. Traditional means of advertising would allow an advertiser to post an ad for an established period of time for a set fee, regardless of the number of viewers it generated. They then realized that this practice was costing them money. Thus the pay per click marketing was born. With this the marketer paid only when his advertisement was clicked on. He could also gauge how his ad was being received and make a better profit when it was chosen often. After the initiation the idea came to be sure that the ads having the highest price per click are shown along with the highest search results so that the search engine would realize the greatest profits possible. This brought competition into play in setting the bid prices. Advertisers would try to outbid the competitors. Pay-per-click advertising costs have the potential to grow exponentially without a marketer even being aware of it because top spot advertisements can engender quite a bit of casual interest but few sales. This is not money well spent. Pay per click advertising can be a dangerous minefield for the uneducated marketer to maneuver; it is not the simple endeavor advertisers would have consumers believe. Fortunately, there are a number of resources for assistance (as well as alternative methods of advertising) available on the web for anyone savvy enough to look.
