Paid search is exactly what it sounds like.
You pay to have your ad show up In the prime real estate of the search engine results like on Google and Bing without having to go through arduous, mind-bending optimization of your site. It’s very much like traditional advertising in that regard. You pay and your ad shows up. Well, sort of.
A user types in a phrase that they’re looking to find out more about. Up pops a bunch of text and photos and videos and what not that are “related” to the person’s search. Some of it is ads and some of it is not.

Short and sweet, red denotes shopping ads, the green section shows text ads and the results in white are non-paid and are considered the authoritative pages on the web on their particular subject, in this case, mirrorless digital camera.
