A popular way for many businesses to advertise on the Internet is by using the Pay Per Click (PPC) method. Advertisers use this approach to drive traffic to their website, and each time a user clicks the link to their website from a search engine, the advertiser pays the search engine. Google is a leader in the successful use of this advertising model, and Google Adwords is a pay per click service that businesses pay only if a person clicks on an advertisement that appears next to relevant search results in Google. A major selling point of Adwords is that businesses can advertise using this service regardless of budget.

While organic listings are based on relevancy alone, as evaluated and rated by Google’s algorithms, paid search, more specifically, paid search listings also are controlled by relevancy. This may seem counterintuitive when thinking of Paid Search. Paid Search by definition involves a bidding process specific to keywords and basic logic would indicate that the highest bidder would get the highest positions within the Paid Search Listings. However, Relevancy is the most important factor for Google, even as it applies to Paid Search. Google invests billions to make their results more relevant and this extends to its major profit contributor, paid ads. Google wants one thing, above and beyond all else … the continued #1 ranking of its search service to continue to dominate the Search Engine Industry. If searchers continue to use Google in overwhelming numbers, advertisers are sure to continue bidding higher and for more keywords.
