You will be able to control Your products’ position and traffic volume with easily adjustable bids which can be controlled and manipulated through the dashboard of Your account.  

Budget Management

Through Your dashboard, You will be able to manage Your daily budget.  You will receive a notification, each time Your daily budget drops below 20% of your total daily budget and again when it reaches 0.00. The PPC program allows You to immediately respond and make budget adjustments where necessary.  If You deplete Your daily budget before the end of the day, Your product listing(s) and the buttons on Your listing(s) and any associated ad unit(s), allowing users to click through to Your website, will be automatically hidden.
