Pay-per-click advertising (PPC) is the ideal way of generating highly targeted visitors to your site instantly. Millions of searches are being conducted in search engines everyday for your products and services. PPC ads are the instant, targeted, contextual and measurable way to place your company in front of potential consumers at the time they are searching for your product, service or information. They are the most cost effective form of online advertising currently available and suitable for businesses of all sizes.

PPC ads are placed at the top and the side of the natural search results To appear in the first few pay-per-click positions in search engine listings, a company bids on relevant keywords to its business (e.g. "holidays in Greece"). If it has laid the highest bid for a keyword, the ad will generally appear first in the search results. If it has laid the second highest, the ad appears in second place. And so on. If your ad is not clicked on you don?t pay but the ad will, still build brand awareness through it?s visibility.

The advertiser (i.e. the organisation bidding) then pays each time a search engine user clicks through to the site. If the bid is 25 pence per click, this is paid when the user is referred.
