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 theory the relationship between search engine and advertiser is a symbiotic one. The advertiser writes an advertisement, then pays a search engine to do the work in identifying potential customers for them through the use of keyword identification. Every time a browser enters a keyword that pertains to the advertisement in question into a search engine the engine will display the ad in question along with the results of their search. 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. The trend in web-surfers is to not look at search results past the first 5-10 pages. This makes it desirable for the marketer to have his ads show up on those first 10 pages. This means that he will have better odds at getting clicks. 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. The standard form of advertising allowed the advertisers to have an ad displayed for a set amount of time for an established fee, regardless of how many people saw it. Advertisers realized this was an inefficient way to get customers. 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. Progression came in the form of competition. Because the search engines wanted to maximize profits, the would put the ads that brought in the greatest payment for each click in the most visible spots - right up there with the top ranked search results. That meant that advertisers wanting those spots had to bid more on clicks than their rivals. The expenses for a pay per click ad campaign can compound rapidly without the advertiser even realizing what is going on because when your advertisement is in one of the first ad spots on a search results page it can get a lot of unprofitable interest and very little paying customers. That is wasted advertising budget. 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.
