Cost Per Click (CPC)
A calculation of how much each ad click costs in a given ad campaign. CPC can be affected by the ad itself, or by its competitive environment. If an ad is targeted at a high-volume search term, for example, more companies may be bidding for ads related to that search, thus driving up the price.

HTML
Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML, is a coding language for items displayed in a web browser. HTML is the underlying coding language behind a lot of what you see on the internet.
Importantly, HTML often doesn’t operate alone to describe web elements. Complimentary languages such as CSS are often used to define the visual attributes, while HTML defines overarching site structure and metadata.
