form of internet marketing that involves the promotion of websites by
increasing their visibility in search engine results pages.

page in a Google Search? Now my point would be much more clear. It provides
pliability to advertisers. They can easily see both immediate and protracted
results, analyze that data for better intuitions, and, convert visitors into
customers. It seems that for advertisers it’s a real heaven on earth.

most prolific marketing strategies because you only have to pay when visitors
click on yours add. It’s not only involves the placement of targeted
advertisements in a user’s search engine results, but also hits meticulously to
the right population based on their interest, location and demographic criteria.
