CPM

CPM stands for “cost per mile” or, alternatively, cost per 1,000 clicks. It refers to the monetary expense associated with obtaining 1,000 advertising impressions on a web page and helps marketers better understand a campaign’s budget and impact.

For every 1,000 impressions, advertisers pay websites a predetermined price. Email marketing professionals also use a CPM calculator to establish the CPM using the following formula:

Campaign’s total budget / number of impressions * 1,000 = CPM
