• Clicks – measuring the number of times an ad has been clicked
• CTR or Click Through Rate – measuring the success of an online campaign for a particular website by the number of users that clicked on a specific link. CTR is measured by the number of clicks divided by the number of impressions, and then multiplied by one hundred
• Spend – measuring the amount of money spent on traffic. The CPM metric equals the amount of impressions divided by one thousand, and then multiplied by the CPM or cost rate. The CPC metric equals the number of clicks multiplied by the CPC or cost rate
