How to understand the operation of SEM
If you thought you now knew all the acronyms you need, we haven’t even really started yet. To understand them, you need to look at how Search Engine Marketing (SEM) works.
Cost Per Mile
CPM measures your ad’s visibility. It is the amount you do for visibility per thousand people (mile). This does not include clicks or other activity. CTR measures how many people see your ad and also clicks it. If your ad is showing to many, but your clicks are low, you might want to change your keywords.
Cost-Per-Click (CPC)
CPC is the amount you pay each time someone clicks your ad. The amount depends on how your bid compares with that of other advertisers and is also influenced by your ad’s Quality Score (QS, see next section for details).

QS, Ad Quality Score, is an algorithm used by Google to determine where to place your ad. The keywords you use should be as relevant as your ad and landing page. Therefore, researching keywords is the first step to success.
