CPC (COST PER CLICK)
Cost per click, or CPC, is the amount you pay for each click on one of your PPC ads in platforms such as Goo- gle AdWords Your CPC is an important metric because those clicks, and costs, add up fast. If your CPC is too high, you won’t be able to achieve return on your adver- tising investment (ROI).
COMPETITIVE DENSITY
