Outside of the internet, advertising generally follows a set pattern.

You buy your advertising space, fill it and hope for a response. If and when that comes, you calculate the number of respondents and judge the campaign either a success or a failure.

Buying space – be it a billboard by the side of a road, 30 seconds on TV or a page in a glossy magazine – is usually quite expensive. And the fact that you have to sign the cheque before you know if even one person will respond makes the first time you try it a bit of a gamble.

Low risk

Pay Per Click is a fresh approach. It takes away the risk element by ensuring you get exactly what you pay for. You fill your advertising space and wait for the response and only then add up the number of people that clicked your ad, multiply it by the pre-agreed rate and pay your bill.

If your ad isn’t the big success story you’d hoped for, it won’t hurt your finances.

It’s pretty cost-effective anyway. Fees start at around a few pence per click, or extra for a prominent placing, making it very difficult to find referrals anywhere else for the same sort of fee.

Versatile

Adding keywords will also mean your advertisement shows up in all the right places, helping you target an audience that is interested in what you do.

Unlike the print media, or particularly TV and radio, there are no lead times. For example, you can submit your details to Google AdWords over lunch and your advert will be ready to be distributed that same afternoon.

Pay Per Click can also be budgeted very tightly. If you have a set amount you’re willing to spend, you can specify that in the beginning. Once the number of referrals meets your maximum budget, your ad goes out of circulation until you can afford to top up the account.

Innovative

With internet tracking, you can tell exactly where each referral came from, giving you invaluable marketing data.

As the technology becomes more refined, the benefits will grow but, in short, Pay Per Click is a flexible, cost-effective, online advertising medium that comes with a much more manageable risk.
