A/B Testing
A/B Testing refers to controlled marketing experiments done to test different approaches to marketing campaigns. You’ll see it used most often in areas such as email marketing, with things like different headlines, or different offers. Or web design, where the copy and layout of a page will be tested in two different ways.
Within the experiment, you’ll split the audience who sees each, then monitor the results.
Using this method, you’re able to collect data on what approaches work best to get a desired outcome, such as email clicks, online purchases or newsletter subscriptions.

Pay Per Click (PPC)
Pay Per Click advertising is a shorthand for any digital ad platform where you only pay for the number of times users click on your ad. This can be an effective way to ensure that you are not paying for exposure to audiences who won’t be interested in your product or service.
An example of PPC advertising would be a Google search ad.
