sposnor link is Text-based ads that appear as a result of a keyword search, they are adwords that show on the google pages, somtimes along the top and at the sides as well.

it all depends on what industry you are in if you will get more from being no 1 in the organics or the top ppc spot.

a few of my sites get more traffic from being the top adword ad and some sites get more traffic from being no 3 in the organic listings. just depends on the target user group.

i tend to find that the more elderly users will click on the sponsored listings before the organic ones. that is about the only testing i have done and got conclusive results.

the best thing to do is to test it out for yourself and see how it goes.

well, Some search engines sell their search results, in addition to showing ads. A sold result means that a link to the buyer’s page is put at or near the top of the results page, just as if the search engine thought it was one of the best results. Usually, there is no indication that the page’s result location was bought and paid for.

Google never sells its search results. If a web page appears in Google’s search results, it’s because Google thought it was a relevant result for your search, not because someone paid Google to put it there.

Google’s approach to ads is similar to its approach to search results: the ads must deliver useful links, or the ads are removed.

* Ads must be relevant to your search.
* Ads must not intrude, distract, or annoy (no pop-up or flashy ads).
* Sponsored links are clearly identified and kept separate from search results.
* At most, two sponsored links appear above Google’s search results.

well rohit, well rohit, Sponsored links are limited to SIXTY to SIXTY-FIVE (60-65) characters including spaces. Hyperlinks with longer URLs are acceptable. A short line that catches the eye is the most effective way to bring our visitors to your Web site.

Benefits of Google Sponsored Links
* No lock in contracts.
* Set daily budgets.
* Target your ads by location
e.g. Sydney, Australia or add any country.
* Instant changes to ads and keyword selection.
* Keyword tracking - see which keywords people typed in before they ordered or emailed you.
* Only pay when someone clicks on your ad.
* Choose the time your ads show.

Sponsored links are text-based advertisements that describe an advertiser’s Web site and the products and services offered. A hyperlink is included, so that interested consumers may click on the advertisement and go to the advertised site.
