What is CPA Marketing

Again, CPA stands for Cost per Action but some people prefer to call it Pay Per Lead (PPL).

It is an Affiliate marketing model where a commission is paid when a user performs or takes a specific action generated from their CPA links.

 

These actions may include:

  • Sign up form
  • Downloading a file
