Many businesses use PPC Advertising to bring in new customers. Typically, AdWords is the most popular way to do PPC Advertising. It is also one of the most affordable ways to advertise. There are several different types of PPC campaigns:

Search Ads – A search engine is the search term you enter to get to the AdWords results. You can also target based on location, time of day, device, age, gender, and income.

Display Ads – If you have a website, you can display an Ad on the page. This increases your chances of being seen by potential customers.

Automated Advertising – AdWords also has an automated advertising option. This is ideal for businesses that have a fairly large budget. It takes the work out of having to monitor the ad results, and the ads are programmed to be shown frequently.

Some additional advantages of PPC Advertising:
