Performance marketing is a sort of digital marketing in which companies or advertisers pay publishers, affiliate networks, or marketing firms only when a certain action is taken. Performance marketing is a type of digital marketing that uses search engines, social media, videos, and other digital platforms to promote goods and services. Advertisers work with affiliates, publishers, or agencies and make payments according to a range of criteria, such as:
• Cost Per Click (CPC): The amount paid for every ad click.
• Cost Per Lead (CPL): The amount paid for each qualified lead or new sign-up.
• Cost Per Acquisition (CPA): The amount paid for every customer conversion or sale.
• Cost Per Install (CPI): The price paid for installing a mobile application.
