SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

SEO started out being fairly straight forward, but as it got more popular, it got more complicated. Things start out as a relatively easy thing to achieve, then along comes someone who makes it more complex. This seems to be the case with Pay Per Click (PPC) marketing (fast becoming the MOST popular form of Internet advertising). It’s starting to become more and more complex and expensive.

Pay-per-click means a search engine that bases its search rankings on a "bid for position" basis. You bid a price per click to be in a specific position of the search rankings for a particular keyword or keyword phrase.

For instance, the #1 position for the search phrase "pay per click" needed a bid of $2.03 per click. The 15th position was a bid of $0.85. What position you want and what you’re willing to bid/pay to get the position is up to YOU!

Budget and willingness to bid impact your site's ranking position when the search engine displays searched for keywords or keyword phrase results. You’re not charged the PPC bid until a searcher actually clicks or selects your website name or URL.
