2. Adword Defined
2
Google AdWords is an online
advertising service that enables
advertisers to compete to display
brief advertising copy to web users,
based in part on keywords,
predefined by the advertisers, that
might link the copy to the content of
web pages shown to users.
• Web pages from Google and from partner websites are designed to
allow Google to select and display this advertising copy.
Advertisers pay when users divert their browsing to seek more
information about the copy displayed, and partner websites receive
a portion of the income they generate
3. PPC Defined
Pay Per Click (PPC)
• Online Advertising that allows advertisers to target
specific sets of keywords or audiences in order to
drive traffic to a website or phone number.
• Pay per click literally means that a search participant
must click on an ad in order for the advertiser to be
charged.
• Google (search) – online advertising that allows
advertisers to target specific sets of keywords or
phrases that people search.
