Paid search marketing is one of the most effective marketing strategies that quickly generates website traffic and revenue. To acquire this means you need to advertise your website within the sponsored listings of a search engine. Every time someone clicks your ads that appear in the listings you need to pay a fee either for cost-per-click (<\/span>CPC<\/b>) or cost per thousand impressions (<\/span>CPM<\/b>) bidding process. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

How it works<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

Every time someone does a search query in any search engine browser, it provides a list of related sites referred as \u201csearch engine results page\u201d (<\/span>SERP<\/b>). The “<\/span>Search Query<\/b>” visualises the process of typing a word (keyword) in the small search box whether you’re using Bing, Yahoo or Google\u2019s search engine. There are two basic types of search marketing in SERP, the search engine optimisation (<\/span>SEO<\/b><\/a>) and the Pay-Per-Click (<\/span>PPC<\/b><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Notice that on the image below; there\u2019s a small green icon \u201cAd\u201d that indicates those lists of sites provided by the SERP are for paid search marketing. The list of websites that appears below the PPC are those sites that are well optimised and freely generated through Google algorithms to provide the most accurate search related queries of the users. \u00a0The higher your website on SERP appearances is, the more likely for it to gain traffic.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n\"google-serp\"\r\n
