What is CPM?

Definition

Cost per thousand impressions: what you pay for 1,000 ad views.

Formula: Spend divided by impressions, times 1,000

CPM reflects how competitive the audience and placement are. A high CPM is not automatically bad if the audience converts well, and a low CPM is not automatically good if nobody acts. Sudden CPM spikes are worth investigating.
