If you have an advertising budget and you want excellent
exposure on the internet, Pay-Per-Click advertising is the way
to go. It works very simple. You sign up for an
account, create an ad, and bid on keywords and phases you want
your ads to show up for. Of course, it does require some
research of the market, keyword usage on search engines, and
your competition. One thing that it does do is get people
to your site - you have to tweak your campaign to squeeze the
most out of your advertising dollar.
Google Adwords
- These are tiny ads that appear on the right hand side of a
Google (and partners) search screen.
- Also appear content sensitive websites with Google AdSense.
- Since this is the most popular search engine out there, you
guarantee exposure.
- Bidding starts at $0.05 per keyword/key phrase.
- Geo-Target your Ads. Show them to searchers of certain
countries or even states.
- Easy to use interface, and click through tracking for
statistics.
- Partners include but are not limited to: AOL, Ask Jeeves,
Shopping.com (YES!),Netscape
Netcenter, Earthlink, Compuserve, and Lycos.

Overture
(Formally known as Goto.com)
- These are ads that appear to be listings at the top and
bottom of searches and are qualified with the heading "Sponsored
Listings".
- Partnered with Yahoo, this is the other giant to get your
ads on - guaranteed exposure.
- Bidding starts at $0.10 per keyword/key phrase.
