CPM (Cost Per Mille)

CPM, or Cost Per Mille, is like buying a billboard on a busy highway. It’s the cost you pay for a thousand views or impressions of your ad. If your CPM is $2, it’s like saying, “Here’s two bucks, show my ad to a thousand people.


RPM (Revenue Per Mille)

RPM, or Revenue Per Mille, is the flip side of CPM. It’s the amount of revenue you earn from a thousand views or impressions. If your blog’s RPM is $5, you’re basically earning a fiver for every thousand views.


ROI (Return on Investment)

ROI, or Return on Investment, is like the report card for your ad campaign. It measures the efficiency of an investment. If you spent $100 on ads and earned $200, your ROI is 100%. That’s an A+ in our book...


CPC (Cost Per Click)

CPC, or Cost Per Click, is pretty straightforward. It’s the amount you pay each time someone clicks on your ad. Think of it as a toll gate. Each time a visitor ‘passes’ by clicking, you pay a small fee.

Impressions: This is the number of times your ad is displayed. It’s like the number of cars that pass by your billboard.
