Google Adwords
The Pay Per Click advertising program offered by Google is called Adwords.  With this program a website owner (or their marketing company) can search term groupings and small advertisements that will appear in response to specific web searches.  The advertiser can target these ad campaigns to specific geographic locations or have them appear through Google and all its search partners. The Adwords ads are returned in response to a search and appear at the top, bottom and right side of the search results page. When you are advertising in Google Adwords you only pay when someone clicks through to your website from the listing in Google.  The whole Pay Per Click model as is used by Google Adwords is one of the greatest breakthroughs in advertising.  Not only does your advertisement appear at the exact time the consumer is looking for what you do or sell but you don't even pay anything unless that consumer is interested enough to click on your link.
