What is the difference between CPC and CPA retailers?

Cost-per-click (CPC) retailers pay you for each click on a link. For commission-based (CPA) retailers, your earnings are determined by the amount of sales you generate from your links. CPC rates are listed as the amount you are paid per click, while CPA retailers show the percentage you earn per item sold.

For example, if your CPC is 12 cents, and you drive 1,000 clicks, you earn $120. If your CPA / commission rate is 10%, and you drive $1,200 in sales, you earn $120.
