click to the site from a Pay Per Click ad. Click Through Rate (CTR):

paid search. A good CLR can get an ad a higher position and lower cost per click.

The higher the better as long as you are getting the desired results, conversions. Conversion:

Sales. CPA:

Actual Spend of Advertising Channel being tracked. Revenue:
Actual dollar amount as a result of the online sales transactions. Avg. Rev. Per Sale:
Total Revenue divided by the number of Conversions. ROAS:
Return On Ad Spend. ROAS = Profit from online sale/ad spend. Profit =$100.00 and
your ad spend was $50.00 your ROAS = 100.00/50.00=200%. 100% ROAS is breakeven.
Less than 100% the ads are costing money. Always use your "profit margin" to
calculate ROAS. If you use "total revenue" you may look good on paper but that

True ROAS also takes into consideration, phone orders, the lifetime value of a
customer and the value of branding. CPL:
