Digital marketing by CPC pricing options
Digital Marketing ads using Cost per click pricing is one of the best digital marketing ad format till date. Cost Per Click refers to the actual price you pay for each click in your pay-per-click (PPC) digital marketing campaigns. This form of digital marketing allows you to pay only when your customer clicks on your digital ads. usually, Digital marketing ads which have less click through rates on the ads should go for CPC bidding so that they only have to pay when the customer sees the ad and not everytime when anyone sees the ad.
Generally search and text advertising is sold by CPC model. In this kind of advertising model you just pay for number of clicks you get on your ads irrespective of number of impressions it takes to generate those clicks. For example, if the CPC is Rs 5.00 and your ad is shown 12,000 times but gets no clicks then you pay nothing. If you get 10 clicks on your ad then you pay Rs 5 .00 X 10 = Rs. 50.00.
CPC = Total Cost/Total Clicks
Total Cost = CPC * Total Clicks
