Pay Per Click
The website operator gives you a certain position on his
site where your ad is placed. You pay only for the clicks
that take the visitor to your website. This is very useful as you can save on your costs and pay for results.

> text ad is displayed on most popular search engines to
> ensure regular high volume traffic to your site. You also
> get the flexibility of choosing the right keywords, google
> provides lot of help on this. Every time an online user
> searches for a keyword you have chosen, your ad will be
> displayed. You can chose what you want to pay per click.
