  &lt;p&gt;In a statement, the web giant &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/press/annc/payperaction.html"&gt;said&lt;/a&gt;&#160;the system&#160;could now be used by&#160;any advertiser worldwide, as long as they had generated more than 500 conversions from other Google campaigns in the last 30 days: &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;blockquote&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;em&gt;"Starting today, advertisers in the beta will see an alert in their AdWords account informing them that they can now create pay-per-action campaigns. &lt;/em&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;em&gt;"Going forward, advertisers who have enabled AdWords conversion tracking and received more than 500 conversions from their CPC and CPM-based campaigns in the past 30 days will be automatically added to the beta on a rolling basis."&lt;/em&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The PPA system clearly signals a move by Google into affiliate marketing - although it remains to be seen how it will affect existing affiliate networks. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Through it, the PPA ads are displayed separately from Google's CPM and CPC ads, and can take the form of text, images or in-line text links.&lt;/p&gt;
