CPA Calculator

CPA or Cost per Acquisition is usually used as a charging method in Affiliate marketing. With companies like Hertz Rental, RyanAir and others. Within the context of display advertising and the Google AdWord system CPA bidding is an advanced option that lets you bid directly for conversions.

Effectively our CPA calculator's will tell any marketer how much they have spent in order to achieve a goal. That goal can be defined by many metrics such as: a sale, a lead, an obtained email address, social media sharing, comments, competition entries, and so on. The question is how much did it actually cost the company for each acquisition and what can be learned from the marketing campaign?
