Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising has already had a very long history. It was prevalent during the dot com boom at the end of the 1990s, but (due to rampant troubles with click fraud) was regularly abandoned by advertisers for advertisements on other websites in favor of CPA and CPS affiliate marketing.

The only central player that remained undeterred was the PPC launched by GoTo.com, subsequently renamed Overture.com and purchased in 2003 by Yahoo! Now it is known as the Yahoo! Search Marketing service.

PPC Advertising made a big return when Google launched its AdSense service on June 18, 2003, the day that can be called the certified lauch date of contextual advertising. Google launched their PPC service Google AdWords in 2000 and saw only mild triumph with it awaiting 2003.

Ask Jeeves, now cleanly Ask.com, followed with their PPC Service in 2005 called Ask Sponsored Listings and MSN.com, followed in 2006 with Microsoft AdCenter. Other large PPC services providers and Search Engines are Miva/FindWhat.com and 7Search.com.

Yahoo! launched its contextual advertising service, YPN or the Yahoo! Publisher Network, in 2005 (and now it is even better) and Microsoft has launched its contextual advertising service based on their new AdCenter PPC Service in 2006.

Click fraud is still a hindrance today and cannot be 100% avoided, due to the makeup of how PPC works. However, methods to preclude the troubles escalation have evolved while the dot com collapse in 2000. It is expected that the problem can and will be solved to diminish the effect of click fraud on the complete expense of PPC marketing and ROI to an acceptable number. The environment in which PPC is used has been altered. This increases the risk that the problems that triggered the "death" of PPC years ago will not initiate its demise today and will make it an advertising mold that is here to stay.

PPC advertising services nowadays are offed almost exclusively by large and unique providers. PPC plays almost no role in direct referral marketing between individual websites. Affiliate Marketing is king and will remain so for the foreseeable future.
