What's a CPC?

CPC is the cost per click and is the cost of each click. For advertisers, it is usually a good payment model, but not so great for website owners.

If you sell ads on a CPC basis, it means, that each time an ad is clicked on, a payout is triggered. It is commonly referred to as PPC (which stands for Pay per Click) if you buy ads by clicking. In fact, however, there is no difference between CPC and PPC.

CPC can also be used as a measure of the cost of clicks when using different models of ad pricing. When you start paying for clicks, it is often cost-effective, but when your CTR begins to improve, a CPM rate may be better. For example:

Ad ONE

CPC-based payment ($1 per click): 10,000 impressions and 40 clicks cost $40 (CPC=$1)

Ad TWO

CPM-based payment ($3 per 1,000 impressions): 10,000 impressions and 40 clicks cost $30 (CPC=$0.75)

In the example above, both campaigns received the same amount of impressions and clicks. They have a 0.40% CTR, which is very useful for display ads (but terrible for search campaigns).

However, the Cost per Click campaign costs more in total, and in fact, costs more per click. While you pay three times as much for CPM as you pay for CPC, this is a reasonable ratio.

If the CTR were higher, the actual value of the CPM campaign would be even better. Therefore, you should use CPC ads when you start advertising and have a low CTR, but move to CPM advertising when your CTR increases.

What's the difference between CPC, CPM, and CPA?

CPC and CPA methods are similar to CPM and serve as other pricing ads. CPC or PPC, meaning both costs per click, requires a specific ad promoter to pay each time a click is received by the ad.

CPC

Cost per click or CPC is very similar to CPM (Cost per Impression). You pay each time when someone takes action with CPC, and clicks on one of your ads. When promoting an ultra-specific product or service in a niche market, this is extremely useful.

CPA

CPA, or cost per acquisition, is when the advertiser has to pay only when a purchase is made that can be traced back to the purchaser by clicking on the ad that led to that purchase.

If you're going to use CPC or CPA, it's important to have a high click-through rate (CTR) as the ads' goal is to get somebody to buy the product you're advertising.

CPM

On the other hand, with CPM, you only pay for one thousand impressions. Impressions are basically about how many people see your ad. They don't have to take action to be considered an impression (like clicking on the ad).

With CPM, click-through rate is less important as you are not as concerned about driving conversions as you are becoming more aware of the brand. This results in meager and cost-effective CPM rates. You can use the CPM calculator

to calculate CPM to know how much it costs to you. And if you earn from the CPM model, then Adsense Calculator can help calculate your total earnings.

What’s Better CPM, CPA, or CPC?

As with every aspect of marketing, depending on the type of campaign, different techniques will be successful.

CPM often makes the most sense if your business is driven to increase your brand awareness. It is also extremely helpful to convey a detailed message to your customers when your campaign is aimed at. It is less click-focused and cost-effective, making it great for low budgets.

On the other hand, when you use digital advertising, CPC and CPA stand out as fantastic choices. If you focus on doing more than just making an impression on users and your end goal is a purchase, the way to go is one of these options.
