Pay-per-click advertising can be of great success in your overall industrial marketing strategy. Though, some agriculture business do not understand what pay-per-click advertising is and how they can benefit. Today, we look into the main terms of PPC advertising, to provide you greater insight.

PPC: Pay-Per-Click or Cost-Per-Click (CPC)

Pay-Per-Click (PPC) marketing is a method of paid advertising that is used to drive traffic to your website. Whenever an advertiser's ad has been clicked by a user, the publisher of that advertisement gets paid. Ad networks tender on keywords and phrases which are most significant to their prospective customers by using search engines such as Google AdWords and Bing Ads.

CPA: Cost-Per-Acquisition

An online pricing model in which you are charged based on a specific acquisition or action, such as filling out a form, watching a video, or making a sale. It calculates the total combined cost of acquiring one paying customer or qualified lead for a campaign.

CTR: Click-Through-Rate

​​The click-through-rate is a widely known indicator of the effectiveness of an online marketing campaign. This is the amount of people who click on an advertisement after viewing it.

SE: Search Engine

Search engines, such as Google and Bing, are software systems that search the World Wide Web for information. The output varies and may include a mix of web pages, images, and other types of files. In terms of pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, search engines allow advertisers to pay a fee to have their listings appear higher in search results. Every time there's a click on an advertisement on these, the search engines profit.
