Well, paid search, of course.

PPC defined

The advertisements are popularly known as sponsored ads or sponsored links, which usually appears next to or above the organic or natural results on the webpage.
Paying every time a user clicks on an ad, the advertisers decide on their budget. They also need a ready website and a credit card, and voila! They are on their way to advertise on the top websites in the Internet in a flash.
