The name pay per click is used because that is basically how it works. Literally, you pay a set amount of money every time a person clicks on an advertised add that takes them directly to your site. With search engines, advertisers typically bid on keyword phrases relevant to their target market. Content sites commonly charge a fixed price per click rather than use a bidding system.
