The search engines that provide these services are known as pay per click search engines. These search engines help in the placement of small ads on the search results page for a specific keyword or keywords. Whenever a visitor clicks on the ad, a specified payment has to be made with the search engine. Advertisers pay nothing to appear on the results page but they only pay when someone actually clicks on their ad so the advertiser pays each time a visitor clicks on its advertisement. That’s why it is known as PPC advertising. This kind of advertising is gaining popularity due to more than one reasons.

3. Accurate Timing – It attracts proper customers at the right time when they are actually searching for information related to a product and services.
4. Total Control over the ad – Traditional ads do not provide much flexibility over the content, timing and target audience. You can change the content of your ad anytime and stop it whenever you want.
Due to the above mentioned benefits, various websites are utilizing PPC advertising these days and online advertising is reaching to great heights.
