What does CPM stand for?

[NightmareAngel]

Im a newbie, and curious, so tell me...

Im not sure what CPM stands for, but it means that you get paid per impression. If an ad agency says they pay $5 CPM, that means you get $5 for every 1000 ads you serve.

Cool

Thank you

CPM stands for "Cost per mille" or Cost per thousand.

It is usually used for imperssion based ads but it can stand for anything.


If bunny rabbits cost $1.75 each than they have a CPM of $1750.00.

Thanks...

I was wondering if its possible to add the CPM on message boards like Ikonboard and UBB? Is it acceptable?

 

[Cheap Bastard]

true

but doesn't the M simply represent the Roman numeral M, which stands for 1000?

 

[Czar]

both right.

Yup. Mille is latin for thousand. The M in Roman Numerals is an abbreviation of "mille", and is pronounced as such.

but this one sounds so much better...

Cheap bunnies.

So what would be the average CPM for cows, Supermoo?

 

[}:8) Supermoo]

lol

I can't really put a price on myself, maybe an apprasial?

Well, based on the advanced 'edible days' algorithm, a well-preserved cow should fetch:

Freshness(B x weight)/100 - where B = bunny and Freshness = length of time (in days) where cow meat can be ingested without adverse reactions.

So a cow of 300kg whose meat can be preserved for 24 days should be valued at:

24(1.75 x 300)/100 = $126

Of course, a premium "Supermoo" should fetch at least 3 times that, unless infected with mad cow disease (which could very well be the case )

lol

Argh, but how about telepathic abilities to communicate online? oh no, I forgot... that's mad cow disease!

 

[jw]

Is there a reduction for foot and mouth diseased cows or mad cow diseased cows?

 

[}:8) Supermoo]

I think mad cow infected cows are much more interesting so I'd guess they'd be worth more. Not to sure about taste though!

 

[Cheap Bastard]

I think Supermoo is priceless... I mean, after all, to eat a cow, you have to kill it right? Who wouldn't give a million bucks to kill Supermoo

okay j/k. Dang moo... 300kg? You need to do something...

 

[}:8) Supermoo]

hehe, thanks Cheap Bastard!

 

[KapTinKiRk]

A cow is worth nothing with only one horn, buahahaha, muahahaha, haha, ha, hhmm

 

[Robert from SI]

Hmmmmm.....

If CPM is "cost per thousand" shouldn't CPC be "cost per hundred" instead of "Cost per click" as "c" is the roman numeral for 100?


Damn Romans.

Long live base 10!

 

[Cheap Bastard]

if decimal is base 10, and binary is base 2, and hexadecimal is base 16... what base is Roman.

 

[}:8) Supermoo]

I don't think Roman has a base... oh no... it would be 10. hehe, smart Romans
