CPC , or cost per click, is an online advertising model that is used to direct online traffic to a website. Here, advertisers put their ads on websites and search engines, and only pay for these ads when they are clicked on. The cost paid per click depends on a few factors, such as the website advertised on, the quality and relevance of the ad, and who else wants to advertise in the exact same space. It is used to assess the profitability and cost effectiveness of online marketing.

The most popular platform for CPC advertising is Google AdWords.
