Online advertisers turning to pay-per-call

A USATODAY article cites advertisers who are very happy with pay per call advertising services.

I personally haven't tried it yet, but I can see the value, especially for certain types of businesses that require more interaction to close a sale.

Ingenio's chief marketing officer, Marc Barach, said the approach is ideal for small service businesses — florists, lawyers, contractors — whose customers ask lots of questions.

"They do their business by phone. They probably don't have a Web site, or if they do it's not transactional," Barach said. "And customers who call them ... are really demonstrating their intent to buy. They're not just browsing."
