Pay for placement

Pay for placement

Pay for placement, or P4P, is an Internet advertising model in which advertisements appear along with relevant search results from a Web search engine. Under this model, advertisers bid for the right to present an advertisement with specific search terms (i.e., keywords) in an open auction. [cite web|url=http://archives.cnn.com/2000/TECH/computing/12/11/search.engines.explored.ap/index.html|title=Search engines shift gears to increase profits|accessdate=2008-04-11|publisher=CNN] When one of these keywords is entered into the search engine, the results of the auction on that keyword are presented, with higher ranking bids appearing at the top of the page.

When P4P was first introduced, controversy arose because seventy percent of Internet users were unaware that search results could be skewed as a result of such agreements, [cite web|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2002/may/03/bbc.newmedia|title=BBC angers rivals by launching online search engine|accessdate=2008-04-11|publisher=The Guardian] which in some cases led to legal action.
