Pay-Per-Click Advertising (PPC)

Pay-Per-Click Advertising (PPC)


PPC (Pay-Per-Click) is a form of digital advertising where advertisers pay a fee each time their ad is clicked.


It’s essentially a way to buy visits to your website rather than earning them organically through SEO.


The most common PPC platform is Google Ads, but it also exists on Bing Ads, Facebook/Instagram (Meta Ads), LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter (X), Pinterest, and Amazon.


⚙️ How Does PPC Work?
PPC is typically based on an auction model:


Advertisers bid on keywords or audience segments.


When a user searches or matches targeting criteria, an auction determines which ad is shown.


The advertiser is charged only when the ad is clicked.


The cost per click (CPC) depends on:


Keyword competition


Ad Quality Score (relevance, landing page experience)


Audience targeting
