Google Adwords Pay Per Click Program ... learn about CPCCPC means cost per click and is the amount you pay Google every time some clicks to your web site via the Google Adwords ad It is vital to understand what control you have .... CPC is not constant Minimum you will ever pay is R0.40 or US$ 0.05 Maximum you will ever pay is that set by yourself when you set up the campaign There are no refunds for mess-ups It is best to use an example to show relationship between CPC and CTR (click through rate) ...Let's assume you and your competitor both bid $1 for same keyword ... say pond pumps Which of these 2 bids will rank higher? ... Answer, the one with the higher CTR The relationship between CTR and position is dependent upon the two variables multiplied together ie (your CTR x your bid) Lets' put it another way ... I get a 1% CTR for my keyword pond pumps. This means of every 100 people who saw my add 1 person clicked through and that cost me $1.00. On the other hand my competitor who also bid $1 had a CTR of 2%. So my competitor can lower his bid to $0.50 to get the same position as me and if he bids $0.51 (only 1 cent more) he will get the position above me. Now that's a bargain In effect this means I will pay twice as much as my competitor. Google rewards high CTR reducing the amount I pay per click and also by increasing the position of my ad so more people see the ad and this means that there will probably be an even better CTR the next day. What do we do? .... we optimize all the variables to maximise CTR and maximize your position and minimize your CPC.
