To have the use of Adwords there is a payment involved, because the advertisers are airing their wares to their targeted prospects, and they will be found through keywords searchers type into search engine boxes. To do that, first they have to agree to pay Google to put their ads on its site, among search results, through the keywords they choose when they sign the deal. Google does that depending on how much they are willing to pay, because there is competition out there, and sellers bid to get the top spot, even if there had never been a consistent traffic jam, where the ads are three or four per page in most cases. Alternatively, the Google Adword system might limit the number of times a given ad appears on the search result pages.

That does not seem to be the case either, because whenever we see the ads on the right side of the search result pages, there is always room to put more ads. For those who have noticed, it does not matter how many pages the searchers go through, the ads more or less remain similar all along, in fact they are the same initial ads that will appear repeatedly. What this could reveal is there are not enough ads for every given keyword, which could be translated into there should not be bidding war, even if that is not what we hear.

The final outcome however, is that most people are satisfied with Google's Adwords that has a proven track record of driving traffic to an advertising site better than anything else, and the ad is text throughout. Somehow, the days of the banner ads are waning, because of their limited nature, where they appear only on the webmasters Web site, and maybe on a few others that could be affiliates.

Furthermore, if ads had remained stationary, almost all sites would have been crowded, and the system would have suffered a setback. But that problem had been solved when rotating banners were introduced, which could load as many banner as needed, and give every banner a few seconds of impression so that those that are loaded on the system will appear as many times as possible in a given period of time. In spite of that limitation, it does not fall far behind, for example, from what Google is doing with Adword.

Takeaways
  • Adsense's click-through pays even if the customer doesn't buy
  • But on a banner the customer has to buy in order for the site owner to get a commisison
  • Google doesn't pay the money out of its pocket, it's the Adword advertisers that pay for it
