What is CPC?

CPC, or cost per click, means you pay each time someone clicks your ad. Here is how it works and when to use it.

Start advertising Glossary
What is cost per click diagram

CPC, or cost per click, is a pricing model where you pay only when a user clicks your ad – not when it is merely shown. It ties your spend to engagement, which makes it popular for performance campaigns where a click is the first step toward a conversion.

How it works

How CPC pricing works

With CPC, you set a bid representing the most you will pay for a click. In a real-time auction, your bid competes with others, and you pay only when a user actually clicks – so impressions that do not earn a click cost you nothing.

On FroggyAds, Push and Native traffic are bought on a CPC basis from $0.003, while Pop pricing starts from $0.0001 CPC. You control your bids and budgets, and SmartCPC can help adjust bidding toward more efficient traffic based on available campaign signals and performance data. Results depend on tracking quality, conversion volume, the offer and campaign settings.

Why it matters

CPC vs CPM, and when to use it

CPC is ideal when you care about engagement and conversions rather than pure visibility – affiliate offers, lead generation and direct-response campaigns. You are paying for action, which makes cost control straightforward.

If your goal is broad awareness, CPM (cost per thousand impressions) may fit better. Many advertisers use both: CPC formats for response and CPM Display for reach. FroggyAds supports both models from one account.
