How Online Advertisers Pay In China In 2012

Since 2008 there has been a slight change in the ways that advertisers pay in China. There has been a shift between cost per acquisition/cost per sale (CPA/CPS) and cost per impression (CPM) advertising. CPM has increased in popularity from 35.2% in 2008 to 51% in 2012, whilst CPA/CPS has decreased from 52.5% in 2008 to 32.5% in 2012. This shift could be attributed to a shifting focus on building brand awareness.
