One of
best possibilities to drive targeted traffic to your web site is
use of Pay-Per-Click search engines . They are not like
regular search engines where you have to deal with meta-tags, alt-tags, robots.txt etc. for your web pages.With this kind of web site promotion,
rankings are solely based on
amount of money you want to spend on your advertising campaign. The advertisers are bidding on certain keywords to achieve a particular position at
results page.
If someone searches for that keyword and clicks on
link,
advertiser has to pay
determined amount of money. I've seen actual bids which go as high as $6 to $7 e.g. for
keyword "web hosting" on Overture.com .
Could Your Competitors Click On Your Link ?
But to avoid that your competitors click on your link a thousand times to make you bankrupt, there is a mecha- nism (I think it's done with cookies) which blocks this process .
This also is of interest to
PPCs' operators to serve their customers in this way because many customers would complain and could ask for their money back.
