CPC is a metric used in the online advertising industry for benchmarking ad efficiency and performance.

It helps advertisers assess the cost-effectiveness of driving users to click on links within their ads, which often lead to important actions like website visits or conversions.

This metric provides insights into the efficiency of ad targeting, content relevance, and budget allocation, guiding decisions to optimize these aspects for better results. Advertisers can use this metric to improve the ROI of their ad campaigns by ensuring they're getting the most value for their advertising spend.

Suppose you're running a Facebook ad campaign to drive traffic to your website, and you've spent a total of $400 on this campaign. During the campaign, your ad generated 800 link clicks, which are the clicks on the link that takes users to your website.

CPC (Cost per Link Click) = Amount Spent / Link Clicks

CPC (Cost per Link Click) = $400 / 800 link clicks

CPC (Cost per Link Click) = $0.50 per click
