In mobile advertising, CPM (Cost Per Mille) and eCPM (Effective Cost Per Mille) are crucial metrics that help advertisers and publishers understand the financial dynamics of ad campaigns.
CPM refers to the cost that advertisers pay for every 1,000 impressions of their ads. This metric is primarily used from the advertiser's perspective, indicating how much they need to spend to reach a specific audience. For example, if an advertiser has a CPM of $5, they will pay $5 for every 1,000 times their ad is displayed, regardless of whether users click on the ad or engage with it. This model is commonly used in brand awareness campaigns where the goal is to maximize visibility rather than immediate action.
