Costs Involved in Pay Per Click Marketing

{ Posted on Jun 23 2009 by Sean Galusha }

Aside from being an effective marketing tool online, pay per click marketing has also given millions of website owners the opportunity to make money online. Pay per click marketing has truly given everyone a good opportunity in the Internet.

Pay per click came out in the internet in 2002 and it has, since then, became a popular advertising tool. It has also gained more popularity as Google adopted the concept for their marketing tool, Google AdWords.

Pay per click marketing works by displaying your ads on as many websites as you want on the internet. Putting your ads on websites may not cost you something but when internet users click on your ad, you have to pay the website owner of the cost. Cost in pay per click means the cost per click of the ad.

The pay per click concept follows two models of determining the cost. The flat rate model and the bid based model.

In the flat rate pay per click marketing, you can negotiate with the website owner a fix rate or cost of each click to your ad posted in his website. This usually depends on the web page and the relevance of the website to your business. You can also keep a rate card, which lists all the rates for your ads in different web pages or websites.

Bid-based pay per click is quite different in the sense that the cost per click of your advertisement will be based on how much you are willing to pay for an ad space when your chosen keywords are entered in the search engine. Bid-based pay per click can also mean competing with other advertisers in getting the lowest cost per click, as this will be done through bidding.

Whatever model or ways you adopt for your pay per click marketing, it is important to keep in mind the main goal of your pay per click campaign and that is not just getting many clicks to your ad but making sure also that these will be converted to sales.
