What Exactly is Pay Per Click Advertising?<\/strong><\/p>\n Pay Per Click ads are small text ads that appear at the very top alongside the main results of search engines such as Google. Search Engines only charge advertisers when their ads are clicked, and potential customers are directed to specific web pages. PPC ads operate on a system where bid prices along with several other factors, determine the cost and order of ads. Advertisers bid on keyword phrases (specific string of words) like \u201cHouston lawyer\u201d or \u201cFrench restaurant in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n Directory One Pay Per Click Advertising Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n Complete Flexibility <\/strong><\/p>\n You can set up your Directory One PPC Management Account with monthly recurring charges or on a one-time basis.
