This marketing technique is also commonly known as “Cost Per Click” advertising or “Banner Ads”.

Search engine marketing is the most popular forms of Pay Per Click, allowing marketers to bid on right keywords to get the best and the most appropriate results. Also, PPC marketing allows customers to access any ad at given point of time and from anywhere with internet accessibility.
