What it means

PPC (Pay Per Click) is the fee a seller pays when a customer clicks on their ad. Amazon Advertising (Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands) operates on a PPC model, not CPC (Cost-Per-Click). Efficient PPC management requires bid optimization, keyword research, and continuous A/B testing. ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) is the critical metric for measuring PPC effectiveness.
