HOW DOES THE PPC WORKS?
Before we move further it is
important to note, however, that ads are not ranked solely by their bid amounts; relevancy and click-though ratio of the ad are sometimes more important that the bid’s amount.
Keyword-targeted ads are ranked on search pages based on a combination of the matched keyword's CPC bid and Quality Score. Quality Score is determined by the keyword's click-through rate (CTR) on Google, relevance of ad text, historical keyword performance, landing page, and other relevancy factors. Lessons learned in “organic” SEO which passively drives traffic will help to make a Pay-Per-Click campaign more efficient.

Never set the budget arbitrarily—continue to make adjustments and the program will become increasingly more efficient—regardless of budget size. part of PPC study.
In order to successfully establish an advertising budget some forethought should go into the amount that can be spent on attracting visitors to your website. How much is it worth to pay for each click? How much profit is in a sale? Obviously, the larger the absolute profit margin, the larger the budget can be. This is then the Maximum Cost-Per-Click (CPC) bid.
