Cost Per Action (CPA) mobile-advertising-glossary-metrics
CPA is the amount spent to drive a specific user action (e.g., a subscription, sign-up, or in-app purchase). It’s commonly used in performance-based advertising models.
CTR is the ratio of clicks to impressions, expressed as a percentage. It shows how effective an ad is at encouraging users to engage: CTR = (Clicks / Impressions) * 100. High CTR often indicates strong ad relevance and appeal.
An impression is counted each time an ad is served and appears on a user’s device screen, regardless of whether the user interacts with it. It is one of the most basic and foundational ad delivery metrics used to measure reach and exposure.
