Pay per click marketing has gained popularity as a cost-efficient advertising tool to promote businesses online and in turn, it has also become one of the popular ways where a website owner can earn by hosting the ads. The concept of Pay Per Click or PPC is that companies will advertise on several, if not hundreds of website, and pay these websites' owners whenever the link to their advertisement was actually clicked. In the year 2000, online advertisements were paid only per thousand impressions. It was in the year 2002 that Pay Per Click Marketing was formally introduced. This was also popularized by Google Adword. The problem is there are varying methods of billing and cost and this is what a website owner must know. The first thing to know is determining the cost per click of an advertisement. There are only two primary types or models of determining the cost of each advertisement click. The first one is the flat rate model and the second type is the bid-based model. It is important to note however that the end goal of advertising is to make a sale, thus the value should not only rely on the clicks to your ad but to the sales you will acquire from the customers who clicked your ad. Flat Rate Costing In the flat rate model, the cost per click is an amount agreed upon by the advertiser and the website owner. As the name suggests, the cost per click is fixed. Publishers, or the companies, usually provide a rate card for the advertisers, the website owners. The clicks will have standard rates depending on which web page the customer landed. Bid-Based Costing In the bid-based scheme, the website owner will invite advertisers to bid on a space in his website where the advertiser can post his ad. In this scheme, the cost per click depends on the lowest cost the advertiser can get. In this model, cost can also be determined on the highest amount the advertiser is willing to pay. This is especially true in websites having huge traffic and rank on top of the search engine list.
