Online advertisement has recently become one of the most popular advertisement methods available. This advertisement method offers great variety of modalities, being Pay Per Click (or PPC) the most popular and profitable of them all.

This internet advertisement model is based on the principle of advertisers paying their host not for the listing itself, but only when their ads are clicked and the customer is then redirected to the advertiser's website.

In order to purchase this advertisement method, a fixed rate is established per click, rather than use a bidding system as other Online advertisement methods offer.

Search marketing and the ad Center by Microsoft. Even though these are the largest, they are not the only companies that offer this service unlike what many people may think.There are different models for determining cost per click, the flat-rate and bid based. In the flat-rate model, both parts (the advertiser and publisher) agree upon a fixed amount that will be paid to the publisher for each click. Depending on the areas of the website or network, the publisher can change rates, depending on which section attracts more valuable visitors, therefore having higher CPC (cost per click).
