CPC Meaning

What is CPC?

Cost Per Click (CPC) is a common pricing model in digital advertising where advertisers pay each time a user clicks on one of their ads. This metric is essential for managing the financial aspects of ad campaigns, focusing on driving user action rather than just views or impressions. To calculate CPC, divide the total cost of your ad campaign by the number of clicks it generated. This gives advertisers a clear measure of how much they are paying for each click, helping to gauge the cost-effectiveness of their ads. A lower CPC indicates that you are gaining more clicks for your advertising dollar, suggesting efficient targeting and ad relevance. CPC is a critical metric for campaigns aimed at increasing site traffic and direct responses from users.
