CPM

Short for Cost Per Thousand, CPM is ad impressions, an industry standard for measuring and selling ads on web sites. The 'M' is taken from the roman numeral for "thousand." Sites that sell advertising will guarantee an advertiser a certain number of impressions, then set a rate based on that guarantee times the CPM rate. 

For example, a web site that guarantees an advertiser 50,000 impressions at a CPM rate of $30 will cost $1,500. This can be figured by [ (CPM * Impressions) / 1000 ] or can also be figured by [50 * 30], the 50 representing the 50 in 50,000.
