Metrics

CPC

Cost per click — ad spend divided by clicks.

CPC (cost per click) is the average price you pay per click sent to your landing page. Native networks bid by CPC at the auction layer even when you've set a tCPA goal — the platform translates your goal into a CPC bid using its predicted CVR. Watch CPC trend over time; rising CPC at flat CVR means competition is moving up.

Formula

CPC = ad spend / clicks

Example

Taboola US insurance vertical clearing $0.42 CPC blended across 18 campaigns. Same advertiser on RevContent clears at $0.18 CPC for similar audience.
