How we calculate this

Cost per Click — your ad spend divided by the clicks it generated. We report the median — not the mean — across a large cohort of anonymized books & music brands over a rolling 90-day window, refreshed daily. Medians resist outliers, so one runaway account can't skew the number. Every cohort respects a minimum-brand floor for anonymity. Read the full methodology →
