Pay Per Click Search Engines Explained:

PPC is a performance based marketing program. When you search Google or AOL, for
example, you'll see sponsored links mixed in with the search results returned....these are "Pay-
Per-Click" ads.

Here's How PPC SE's Work...

1. Advertisers "Bid" on keywords relevant to their business.

2. The "search results" are delivered in the order of highest to lowest bid.

3. Advertisers are charged the "bided amount" when a user clicks through.

We've found this to be an excellent way to affordably drive traffic to your site.

Here's an example how .....

Pay $0.10 per targeted visitor. As a rule of thumb, it takes 100 clicks to make a sale.

100 Visitors Cost $10.00 - One Sale Generates $50 commission - Net Profit $40

These can be really effective if your selling a high ticket item with big commissions.
