What is Paid-Search Engine Marketing (or PPC Marketing)?

Paid-Search Engine Marketing (SEM) or Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Marketing is an Internet advertising model used on websites, in which advertisers pay only when their ad is clicked.With search engines, advertisers typically bid on keyword phrases relevant to their target market. Content sites commonly charge a fixed price per click rather than use a bidding system.

SEM allows you to reach millions of targeted customers in a more cost effective way than with traditional advertising channels. Companies can rapidly employ the power of Google AdWords and Yahoo Search Marketing ads to quickly position their website prominently on search engines to generate more sales, leads or better branding.
