What is “CPM”?

Cost per mille (CPM), also called cost ‰ and cost per thousand (CPT) (in Latin mille

means thousand), is a commonly used measurement in advertising. Radio, television,

newspaper, magazine, out-of-home advertising, and online advertising can be

purchased on the basis of showing the ad to one thousand viewers. (from google)

If you have thousand impressions, you earn 0.05$. it’s not much, but it’s good for

beginning. If your site have many visitors in a day, then you can use banner ads too.
