Some infertility organizations purchase keywords on Pay Per Click (PPC) search engines (e.g., as Overture or Google AdWords), which provide the following features and benefits:

You only pay for the click-thru traffic that comes to your site. You don't pay for "page views," as you would with banner ads.

You can purchase the exact keywords you wish (e.g. "tubal reversal") in order to get qualified traffic for those keywords.
