PPC

PPC means Pay Per Click, a model charging advertisers for clicks; it also commonly refers to paid search management.

How it works

Connect budget, queries, ads and landing pages with measurable business actions.

Example

Example: An ad leads to a product and measures purchases, not just visits.

Common mistakes

Not all paid media campaigns are charged only per click.

How can you check this in practice?

Specify the platform, campaign, charging model and valuable conversion. Check that clicks reach a working relevant page and the action is measured. Assess cost per useful outcome; cheap clicks can be irrelevant.

Distinctions and limitations

PPC means pay-per-click, while paid media also includes models such as CPM. Not every ad format charges per click. Separate media spend from management, asset production and total acquisition cost.
