Pay-per-click advertising commonly known as PPC allows a business to display their advertising for one or more search terms on the search engines result pages or on other websites by bidding for the key terms. Payment for these advertisements will be when a user clicks the advertisement and visits their website. The payments are based on the bidding and are controlled by scheduling the budget. These advertisements appear on the right side and top of the search engine result pages as Sponsored Links.
