PPC stands for pay-per-click and is one of the most popular
forms of digital advertising. So, how does it work? Well, PPC does exactly what
it says on the tin; advertisers list their ads on search engine results pages
and then pay the search engine every time a user clicks on one. The better you
are at identifying the users you want to click, the more effective your
campaign and the happier your client. Simple.
