What is Pay Per Click or Google Adwords

Pay Per Click is the general term for the likes of Google Adwords, this is when you bid to appear in a certain position in the advertising search results, these adverts are displayed each time someone searches for a term which you are bidding for, usually at the top and bottom of a page with the organic listings inbetween.

If you search for a product name you will see the organic listings or optimised websites in the main section of the page, with sponsored results at the top and bottom, they used to also be down the right hand side, but at the time of writing this they have been removed.  The companies displayed in the paid adverts are biddding to be there and will pay a certain price every time someone clicks on their advert. The price of a click can vary enormously dependant on the specific keyword, the competition and the value of the potential sale, anything from pennies, up to £10 or more are fairly common.
