Pay-per-Click Search Engine Optimization

PPC SEO is a clever method of search engine optimization that will get you at the top of search results pretty much instantly. The only drawback is that doing so is not cheap. Continue reading to find out the basics of PPC SEO.

Pay per Click Search Engine Optimization (PPC SEO) is a clever way to appear at the very first page of search results pretty much instantly without having to go through all the trouble SEO brings with it. When you perform a search, you will see some text ads or “sponsored links” at the very top. These ads appear before search results. You too can make part of this form of SEO. Essentially, this is how it works: you sign up at a PPC search engine, then you build your ad, establish your daily budget, choose your keywords and that’s all!


Now, once you have decided to take the first step, it’s time to choose your PPC provider. Here’s a list of the most popular and trusted companies in the business:

1.    Google Adwords. Just like Adsense, Adwords makes part of Google’s advertisement brand. It’s no secret that Google is the search engine giant, so you can be sure your links will have maximum exposure. Wait, it gets better. Not only will your ads appear at Google search results, but they will also appear at high profile websites like AOL, Ask, and About.

2.    Yahoo! Search Marketing. Yahoo is side by side with Google when it comes to search engines, so to honor the competition Yahoo has got a PPC service quite impressive. Your links will not only appear at Yahoo, but also at InfoSpace, AltaVista, AllTheWeb, and other similar websites.

3.    Microsoft adCenter. Microsoft may be the largest technology company ever, but it doesn’t mean they’re at the top of search engine marketing. Nevertheless, because of their limited syndication network, their traffic quality is quite high.
Those three providers are the best ones for starters. There are many others, but these are more newbie friendly than their competitors.

Now down to how the ads really work. PPC is, well, pay per click. You pay a (very) low fee each time someone clicks your link. It’s usually a few pennies per click, but on competitive markets, costs can increase a lot! Before you place your ad, make sure you check how much others are paying with Adword’s keyword tool. Then, establish a budget. Most PPC providers allow you to set your maximum daily budget. Once you know how much clicks are going to cost you, you can establish your maximum budget accordingly.

That is all the basics of PPC you need to know before getting started. PPC is a very effective form of SEO. Pay per click search engines are really effective because they can provide you with instant traffic, and help you test how your website performs on the user end. Don’t be afraid to be generous when choosing your budget, it can really pay out well!
