CPA stands for Cost / or Commissions per Action and is essentially an umbrella type for a number of other models such as CPI and CPS. This is the most popular model among publishers because it offers a win-win relationship for advertisers and publishers.
The former find this model the most attractive one because, with a catastrophic level of fraud that devastates CPC and CPM models, CPA provides a safer ground to work with. The latter have less headache as well, knowing that they can safely deliver something advertisers want.

CPA, most commonly known as cost-per-action, can also be referred to as cost per acquisition or pay per action. It means that brands only pay for their ads when those (who view it) complete the desired action.
