What Wikipedia Say about CPA :
Cost per action (CPA), also known as pay per action (PPA) and cost per conversion, is an online advertising pricing model where the advertiser pays for each specified action – for example, an impression, click, form submit (e.g., contact request, newsletter sign up, registration etc.), double opt-in or sale.
Direct response advertisers consider CPA the optimal way to buy online advertising, as an advertiser only pays for the ad when the desired action has occurred. The desired action to be performed is determined by the advertiser. Radio and TV stations also sometimes offer unsold inventory on a cost per action basis, but this form of advertising is most often referred to as “per inquiry”. Although less common, print media will also sometimes be sold on a CPA basis.
CPA is sometimes referred to as “cost per acquisition”, which has to do with the fact that many CPA offers by advertisers are about acquiring something (typically new customers by making sales).
Formula to calculate cost per acquisition
Cost per acquisition (CPA) is calculated as: cost divided by the number of acquisitions. So for example, if one spends £100 on a campaign and gets 10 “acquisitions” this would give a cost per acquisition of £10.and now, My thought is :
