CPM
With CPM ads the Difference is that someone is paying per impression for that ad to run on example.com so example.com has a CPM also know as CPI or (cost per impression) ad running on the site.This is because an Advertiser though that they would like to have an Ad Running on example.com and are willing to pay $4.00 for every 1000 veiws his Advertisement gets.While the CPM Ad us Visible on example.com they will earn $4.00 for every 1000 views that Advertisment gets.
