PPC Pay Per Click
PPC is online adverting where advertisers bid based on keywords and the ads appear on Google, Google Partner websites or on Bing and Yahoo. The advertisers then Pay Per Click when the customer clicks on their ad. The ads appear at the top of the SERPs (Search engine results page) and along the side.
Google Adwords
The biggest player – and for good reasons – in the PPC advertising industry is Google Adwords. It is a platform where advertisers can join in, and set up their marketing campaigns through a highly intuitive and data driven interface. Your ads can either be published directly on Google’s search results pages (aka SERPs), or they can also appear on other relevant websites that are part of the Google Display Ad Network program.
Bind Ads
Bing ads employs the same kind of approach. But with bing ads, your ads can appear on two search engines – Bing and Yahoo. Advertising with Bing Ads is just as flexible and powerful as with Google Adwords – but surely, in terms of audience size, Google leads by a far margin.
Which One is Better?
Although, both companies are working hard on the quality of their ads, Google is ahead in this regard also. They have a larger network where you ads can be displayed. On the other hand, Bing Ads are 1/3 of the cost of Google Adwords. Also keep in mind that the Bing Ads Display Network is now utilizing AOL. Why is it important to know this? The AOL Display Network is actually the Google Network!
