Google Adwords Made Easy

It has been widely used so much so that Google obtains most of its revenue from these PPC ad campaigns.  Here you pay only if your ad is clicked. So if a person searches for ‘cake shop in Mumbai’ and your cake shop ad appears along with other ads. But the person does not click on your ad then you do not have to pay for it. So this advertising is very specific and tailored.

You can note the entire Ad of 2-3 of them.
