The rate per click in this type of marketing is figured out through two models namely the flat-rate model and the bid-based model.

1. FLAT-RATE MODEL: In this model, the advertiser pays a pre-decided rate to the publisher for each click on the advertisement. Publishers may charge a lower rate if the advertiser signs up for the contract for a longer duration. 
2. BID-BASED MODEL: In this type of model, the publisher holds up an auction and the advertisers propose the maximum amount they are willing to pay to get their ad published. This auction is held with the help of available tools and the winner is decided based on a few factors.
