Pay Per Click or PPC is a way of gaining traffic for your web site. Since it is called PPC, you only pay each time a person clicks on your ad. If they simply read your ad without clicking on it, then you don't pay. In the case of CPM, you pay each time your ad is shown every thousand times. Even if people don't click on your ad, as long as it is displayed you'll need to pay.

Marketers use PPC to quickly determine the demand for their products online. In addition, you can use the data to figure out which headlines or choice of words are enough to elicit a response from your potential customers. If your marketing budget allows it, consider investing in PPC to help you acquire important market data.
