Pay Per Click
“Pay per click was just the beginning. The real revolution is pay per action.” – Bill Gross.

It’s all because of Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising. Pay-per-click is a very effective method to grow a business in a highly competitive environment.

If you don’t know how the PPC model works. Let us help you understand this first. A business bids to get their advertisements listed on different platforms. After this, the advertiser needs to pay the bid amount every time they get a click on their ad. WIthout PPC advertising, it becomes really difficult to rank on SERPs as the keywords are really competitive these days. But, with these advertisements, you can achieve traffic from your targeted audience much faster.
Infographic (PPC vs. CPC)
People often use the terms PPC and CPC interchangeably, but there is a basic difference between them:
| Pay Per Click | Cost Per Click |
| PPC or Pay Per Click is the amount that the bidder/advertiser needs to pay for every click on the ad published by them. | CPC or Cost Per Click is like finance metrics to measure total click and total amount spent on a particular PPC campaign. |
Benefits of PPC
Many website owners who follow SEO practices make the mistake of depending entirely on SEO to get traffic. It is true that SEO is very very important, but with PCC along with search engine optimization, you can achieve even greater heights. Getting Pay Per Click Services for your website or business has so many advantages as listed below:
- Faster Results: Pay Per Click ads show faster results compared to the SEO influenced search results which take months to rank on Google SERPs. The PPC ads are mostly above the other search engine optimization based results
- Cost-effective: The Pay Per Click advertising gives you the flexibility to show ads under your budget. You need to pay only when someone clicks on your ad and it will be totally worth it to pay as you will also get conversions from these ads.
- You can Target Your Ideal Audience: People will click on your ads only if they are interested in the same. When you get to know how many people are clicking on your ads and what age group & category they belong to, you can find out your ideal target audience more easily.
- You Can Rank Even With Low Domain Rankings: As more businesses are coming online, the keywords are becoming highly competitive. It is really difficult for you to rank on the first page of search engine results if you are new to your industry. But with the help of Pay Per Click advertising, you can rank on the first page within a few hours.

SEO vs. PPC
Individuals often confuse whether they should prefer SEO or PPC for their website. But, this is completely the wrong way of thinking. You need SEO along with PPC for the best results and to get the maximum traffic on your website. Let us first understand the difference between SEO & PPC:
| Search Engine Optimization | Pay Per Click |

Only SEO or Only PPC will not give you the results you might be expecting, but SEO along with PPC is what makes the best SEM (Search Engine Marketing) strategy. So, instead of comparing the two, you should focus on an integrated approach of SEO as well as PPC to get the most relevant traffic.
