CPV: is when advertisers pay for each unique user view of an advertisement or website (usually used with pop-ups, pop-unders and interstitial ads).

Google AdWords campaign Rule:
When people search for any particular thing (relevant to your website) in the search engine, your website may or may not appear organically in the search result. But if you take the support of an advertising model, you get the assurance that your website would appear. This online advertising model is popularly known as Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising.
Assuming you are doing a direct response approach (getting conversions for a desired cost), you’ll want to look one primary attributes:
Targeting method cost per conversion (CPA) or ROI
Here is a sample protocol to optimize your Google Display Network Placements:
Periodically (at least once a week), come through your placements. Identify ones that have spent at least 2x your target CPA or ROI. Exclude them. For example, if you want conversions at 10 CPA, you can be safe to assume that if you spend 20 dollars without a conversion, it’s time to turn off that placement. Alternatively, you can get more aggressive, and turn placements off at only 1.5x your target spend. In this case, you would pause everything over 15 dollars without a conversion, or anything that is over 15 CPA.
Pluck out the best placements that give you the best performance (ROI or CPA), and bid specifically on them. The theory is: if you bid more aggressively on placements that perform well, you’ll increase your volume of conversions.
Don’t know how much to bid Use the protocol here: How to Set the Perfect Bid Every Time in AdWords to get your bid modifiers. The math is simple: If your CPA is worse than your target, bid down. If your CPA is better than your target, bid up to increase volume.
Pro-Level: after identifying the best placements, and bidding specifically on them, find other placements similar to those. Create ads that are finely tuned for that particular audience. Even more pro - once you get plenty of data on a site, try to reach out to them specifically to see if you can get a better rate than what you’re getting through GDN. This is known as a private media buy.
ROI Stands for Return On Investment.
How much profit you've made from your ads compared to how much you've spent on those ads.
To calculate ROI, Formula is
ROI = Total Revenue / Ad Cost
In Google Adwords, conversion tracking can be done in following ways:
Tracking purchases by involving basic tracking code provided by Adwords and modifying it with additional code unique to your particular e-commerce platform
View-through conversion window options tracks when a person sees your ad but does not click it (impression)
By enabling your ad rotation setting to optimize for clicks, meaning that Adwords will serve the ads it feels are likely to be clicked
By accessing search funnels inside tools and analysis, you can also know when customers clicked on your ad for the first time and how frequently they saw your ad before converting.
When someone performs a search, all of the ads relevant to that search “compete” based on bid price and other factors such as relevant keywords and geographical location. The winning ads are then displayed.
Impression share = impressions / total eligible impressions
Impressions are estimated using various factors including targeting settings, approval statuses, quality and etc. Impression share data is accessible for campaigns, ad groups, product groups and for various keywords.
It is a good way to elaborate on whether the ads will reach more people if you increase your bid or budget, basically is it viable or not.
