Most people have Internet access and most people spend many hours on the Internet each day. Businesses that do not have a presence on the Internet often find it very difficult to succeed. There are many online advertising methods, but the most common and popular is Pay Per Click. With Pay Per Click advertising businesses bid on certain keywords related to their products. For example, if your company sells baseball cards you could bid on keywords such as baseball, card, cards, sports, Tops, Fleer, and other related words. Affiliates show ads and banners on their website determined by the relevant keywords. The affiliates get paid for every click, not for each ad shown. So if your ad is shown a hundred times an only four people click the ad, you pay for the four clicks and not the ad showings that did not generate a click. There are many Pay Per Click companies on the market such as Yahoo, MSN, Miva, 7Search, Nanoodle, LookSmart, Enchance, and GoClick.
