Major Pay Per Click Search Engines

Mr Web has sizable experience in building and managing Pay per Click campaigns for clients. Whilst Search Engine Optimisation is the better way to go in the long run, that it takes 6 months to become fully optimised means there is a legitimate place for Search Engine Marketing or Pay per Click as it is popularly known.
