The Search Engine Land Guide to PPC

November 19, 2018

At its most basic, PPC advertising is an auction-based method of buying digital advertising on a pay-per-click (PPC) basis. Advertisers only pay when someone clicks on (or engages with) an ad rather than paying when an ad impression is served or viewed on the page. Digital marketing is famously jargon-heavy, and companies often try to coin their own names for products and features. (The terms “remarketing” and “retargeting” refer to the same thing, as just one example.) Cost per click (CPC) is the reporting metric name used by the ad platforms. CPC refers to the bid price an advertiser sets (Max CPC) and the price an advertiser pays (reported in aggregate as Avg. CPC).

Why Ad Quality Matters So Much For Rewarded Video Ads

whitePaper | September 19, 2022

What Are Rewarded Video Ads? Many apps, and especially mobile games, have rewarded ad units, in which users are exposed to an ad in exchange for a benefit (extra lives, in- app currency, etc.). These ads are often video ads, but a rewarded ad can come in any format, including a playable/interactive ad, a full-screen interstitial, or a 360° ad, among others. Rewarded ads are among the most popular ad formats because users gain a reward for viewing the ad (beyond just getting access to the app for free). 54% of mobile gamers prefer rewarded ads, while 50% of mobile gamers like rewarded ad formats overall. By comparison, only 21% explicitly dislike them. 61% of Gen Z gamers "enjoyed using the offerwall to complete rewarded ad offers."
