Definition:

To start with, let's simplify the definition first; PPC is actually an advertising tool that comes handy for an online as well as offline company. The method helps the advertisers to drive their targeted  traffic towards their brand.  

History:

This online advertising mode was actually invented by Yahoo back in 1997, and it was known as Yahoo's Search Marketing then. Eventually Google came up with Google AdWords, and Microsoft with Microsoft AdCenter.

Why Google AdWords?

Google has always played a major role in Internet related activities. It has been linked up with everything. Google is the most popular search engine in the world. So, putting up an ad on the Google frame will guarantee success of the advertisement.

Well, its a commonly asked question, why Google AdWords in synonymous to PPC when there are other options as well. The answer is simple - "because of its simplicity". The interface is simple, user friendly and clean; and anyone can create an account, devise an ad and be all set to go. To get started, Google AdWords asks for a minimum of $5 dollars and one can start bidding from just $0.01 per keyword. So it’s really flexible.

This tool provides the guarantee of getting the message out and spreading it all over the world. It is also one of the main sources of revenue for Google. Precisely, the advertisers use AdWords to select their keywords upon which their ads would be based. It is based upon the quality score of the ad, which is calculated according to some factors. It is on basis of this list that Google’s Pay Per Click charges are prepared. That is, more the quality of the ad more is the rate.

A Dash of Tip: Once you are through with the keywords selection and sorting part, make sure you try and play with the long-tail ones as the most sought after keywords get a very high CPC (Cost Per Click). A long-tail keyword with less competition can bring better results for you than the regular ones.
