This change, has seen a massive improvement on relevant content to your searches, and in turn improved advertising techniques that are accessible to many, no matter what budget.

Bid Management
Of course, it doesn't stop with key word selection. Pay Per Click works on a bidding system, with you and your competitors, bidding on your key words and phrases.
