Google advertising comes in the form of Google Adwords. Google Adwords is the fastest way to drive targeted traffic to a website. Currently Google dominates the search engine landscape with 55% of searches in the US (Nielsen Netratings April 2007) and similar percentages in the rest of the world.

What makes Google Adwords a viable proposition is that one can target specific phrases used by one's target market and geo-target the ads to appear in specific countries or regions, where the searches originate from.

Pay per click (PPC) advertising can be very profitable if you know what you're doing. The first thing you don't want to do is get into a bidding war with the bigger companies. When you first start advertising with PPC, you want to test it out first.

Don't dump a huge amount of money into your campaign and pick all of the most common key words.

In essence, PPC advertising is all about bidding for the top or leading position on search engine results and listings. Advertisers do this by buying or bidding on keyword phrases that are relevant to their products or services - the higher the bid, the higher the spot on the search results, the more the people will find the ad (and click on it) to go to their websites (this is why some people call it "keyword auctioning").

The Google Adwords program is a very popular new program. Mainly people who have products to sell on the Internet use it. If you want to sell products, it might be a good idea to check into the Google Adwords program to give you web site more exposure. Besides, it is not hard to learn and it can mean big profits for your business too.

The Google Adwords program is a PPC, a pay per click program.

How often have you spent money on advertising online only to be left with little, or worse, no results?

Don't feel bad, it's happened to me too.

The truth is, advertising on the Internet is becoming less and less effective every day. Why?

Because more people are starting online businesses and there is more competition when buying advertising.

Last week we looked at CTR (Click Thought Rate) that introduced competition in bidding beyond money. This was Google's first of the two revolutions to the PPC concept through Adword, Google's PPC department.

The second revolution has to do with what is technically referred to as "impressions". Impressions are the number of times a PPC advert is displayed on a webpage.

Google Adsense is the number one PPC advertising program but there are some Adsense alternatives worth looking into. Adsense's biggest threat comes from Yahoo through its Publisher Network program. Both serve contextual ads that are highly targeted to get the best CTR. However, Yahoo's Publisher Network has just come out of beta, while Google Adsense has been going strong for years.
