What's the Difference Between ParentsRoom Ads and Google AdWords?

When you buy a direct ad on ParentsRoom, you are buying exposure for a set period of time. You determine which sites in our network the ad will appear and you pay for the months you want the ad to run.

Google AdWords allows you to set up your ad and only pay when someone clicks on the ad. You set the price you are willing to pay per click and that price determines how your ad is ranked in the listed ads.
