What is Pay-Per-Click (PPC)?

Pay-Per-Click is an online advertising model where advertisers pay a fee each time someone clicks on their ad. Rather than paying for impressions (views), advertisers only pay when users take action by clicking through to their website or landing page.

It’s great for targeted marketing, allowing advertisers to control budget, target specific demographics, and track ROI.
