Cost Per Impressions
Purchasing banner impressions displays
is the most widely used form of
advertising on the Internet. The usual
pricing system is "Cost Per
Impressions" or CPM. Another pricing
system is "Cost Per Click" or CPC. Costs
range from as low as $1 CPM for
remnant space to $200+ CPM for sites
targeted directly at professionals, such
as Doctors, Lawyers and Senior
Management. The industry average is
about $27 CPM. For an untargeted site,
such as search engines, expect to pay
about $10 CPM and $30 CPM for a
targeted site.
CPM - Cost Per Impressions (The "M"
comes from the Roman numeral for
1,000). So $20 CPM represents $20 per
1,000 displays of a banner).
CPC - Cost Per Click. You pay an agreed
amount for each click-through to your
site.
Click-Through (CT) - A click on an ad
which takes the viewer to another site.
Click-Through Rate (CTR) - This is
the number of people who click on an
ad (banner or text link) divided by the
number of displays of the ad,
represented in percentages. For
example, when 50 people click on an ad
that has been shown 1000 times, this
works out as 5%= 50/1000 X 100%

The WWW websites owners darling. Any review of good affiliate programs
ranks on the top. This program places CPC (cost-per-click) and CPM (cost
per thousand impressions) ads into the same auction and lets them
compete against one another. The auction takes place instantaneously
and when it's over AdSense will automatically display the text or image ad
(s) that will generate the maximum revenue for a page -- and the maximum
revenue for you. Leader in the Internet Text Ads. Has very Strict (and some
call it unfair) Tos policy…no reasons, no excuses accepted. Lots of
complaints from publishers about being suspended indefinitely for false
clicks on their sites without proper evidence from Google. No information
