what dose pay per click mean

[hazephase]

i am not being stupid , but i would like to know what dose a company mean by per per click , dose that mean that we only pay for the click that people make on our site

Yes.

Many years ago people paid basically for impressions. Then it seemed like it was rip-off because they did not get much for their money. Then one of the search engines decided to try pay per click - basically saying it was more honest and fair because you were only paying advertising on those that really wanted to see your products - ie - those that clicked on your ads.

So yes, pay per click is buying advertising at the price determined for a click.

Hello ,

Actually these days when you say Pay Per Click , you understand two different categories !

1st - Adsense , Adbrite etc ..
2nd - Adbux

In the second option , they show you some advertisements and you must click them and you get 0.01$ , you dont need to have a website whereas in the first category , as a publisher you must have a website !

Thanks

Pay per click (PPC) is an Internet advertising model used on search engines, advertising networks, and content websites, such as blogs, where advertisers only pay when a user actually clicks on an advertisement (ad) to visit the advertisers' website. Advertisers bid on keyword phrases relevant to their target market.
