I had the privilege of speaking on PPC Pricing Models at State of Search in November, 2015. Here are the slides from my presentation.
The Great PPC Pricing Debate - State of Search 2015 from Kirk Williams
I decided to not waste all the research I was doing and to share links to the posts I've run across on PPC Pricing Models. There aren't a lot out there!If you are aware of any that I am missing, please tweet them to me at @PPCKirk. For obvious reasons, I did not include any agencies that "talked" about their pricing. I wanted to reserve these links for those posts that actually dig into the reasoning for certain (or all) models.
