How we calculate this
Cost per Acquisition — your total ad spend divided by the purchases it drove. We report the median — not the mean — across a medium cohort of anonymized media & publishing 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 →
