Does anyone know if you can still get a CPA from someone clicking on an ad and buying a product? I've been hearing that this is true, but then I hear that you must have a google referal banner up, not just a regular google ad. How does this work?
snap, You are trying to mix CPC with CPA. I guess what you are asking is if someone click on a CPC ad and actually buy a product will that give you a higher $$. According to the system, its not a CPA coz advertisers pay per click and not on action. However i believe, yes if someone buys from the clicks, it does give higher money. isnt that one of the way for google to smartprice you, if you can't convert for the advertisers. so it makes a lot of sense that google/advertiser does track if the users buy or not mostly based on session cookies. Hope that helps. Reps appreciated.
