Using Overture as an example here, making a bid is simply a matter of choosing following:

* keyword * title * description

And as Overture recommends on its site, always repeat keyword in both title and description to improve your chances of a click. Overture also comes with a keyword suggestion tool, available to Overture advertisers only.

Choosing your keywords, and amount you are willing to bid is also simple, but can take a lot of time. You need to research suitable in-demand keywords, that cost little. The paid-for version of Wordtracker - excellent keyword suggestion tool - allows you to brainstorm good keywords, and determine current cost of top 20 bids. A real time saver.

=> BUT BID CAREFULLY!

Make sure you are happy with amounts of money you will spend. A quick rule-of-thumb to determine value of a visitor (or click) is to use this simple equation for a given month:

Value = average earnings / average unique visitors

Make sure your bids are lower than this 'value' of a visitor.

The best way to achieve success at pay-per-click search engines is to bid on many listings, but bid low.
