What is the AdSense CPC?

[Mark]

The AdSense CPC, or Cost-Per-Click, is the amount the advertiser has to pay to Google every time an internet user clicks on one of Google's ads.

The CPC, like CTR, is a metric to determine what the cost is for the advertiser each click he gets on his/her ads. If you don't know it yet, what is AdSense CTR?

AdWords is using the CPC system as well, meaning the CPC rate is beneficial for the Publisher (AdSense) and not for the Advertiser (AdWords). Then again, for advertising you have to pay anyway...

However having a high CPC for the publisher is great, you can even call it Earnings-Per-Click.

I have try to join ctr. It's need long time to get the payment. But in my opinion, for small business, ctr is very good. We have to patient.

CPC means cost per click,the cost per click would be anything between 5 cents to $20 a click. The statistics page in the google adsense site provides information on the number of impressions, clicks and payout. CPC is not equal for each ads, certain ads fetch more money than others, it depends on keywords, keyword competion No doubt, this is the best paying CPC program in the world.

Actually the correct term is PPC as you are being "Paid per Click". But it doesn't really matter since everybody understands what you are talking about.
