Mortgage CPC Plummets
Efficient Frontier recently released its U.S. cost-per-click data for the month of December 2008.
The Mortgage category saw the biggest month-to-month change with a 34 percent drop to $1.47 in December from $2.23 during the previous month.
In November this category saw a 24 percent month-to-month decline. This is hardly surprising given the downfall of the housing industry.
