If you're looking to get more clicks on your affiliate links or drive traffic towards your content, a PPC campaign is an easy and reliable way to achieve it.
This article covers the ins and outs of PPC, including tips on strategy and budgeting. We’ll tackle how to set up your paid ad campaigns the right way, and talk about using best practices to ensure they’re successful.

What is PPC advertising?
PPC advertising is an excellent way of boosting visibility for websites that may not have worked their SEO magic yet for the same keywords and phrases. Most typically, PPC ads appear when people type relevant keywords and phrases in a search toolbar, be it a search engine or social media platform.
Clicks are straightforward to track, and you only pay for traffic directed to your site. You don’t pay if nobody sees your ad, and sometimes you don’t even pay if someone does see it but doesn’t click. With the most popular PPC pricing model, cost per click (CPC), you pay only when someone clicks your ad. Marketers often talk about ‘buying clicks’ because that’s just what PPC is all about. You’re paying a PPC advertising company, be it Facebook, Google, or Bing each time someone clicks a link pointing to your landing page.
Marketers often deploy PPC ads to appear at the top of search engine results pages, as well as targeting people on social platforms. On Google’s search results page, PPC ads are at the top, marked with a yellow label. They are the ‘sponsored’ posts on your Facebook feed and the results marked ‘Ad’ on Bing.
The idea is that people searching for keywords related to your product or service will find your ad, click through to your website/landing page and complete the action the page is promoting. Clicks on social media platforms are encouraged by visually engaging ads targeted to the intended visitor.
On the other hand, with search engines, PPC ads barely stand out because they don’t want to give the impression that they are spamming users. Here are some examples of PPC ads targeting the keywords “wireless headphone reviews.” There is not much difference between the paid ads at the top of the page and the results from the organic listings below.
