Cost per thousand

This can also be known as cost-per-impression or mile (CPM) and it is a form of advertising whereby the advertisers pay a search engine a set fee for every thousand users who see their ads. They don't even have to click through the ads, these ads are usually banner ads which are at the side of webpages.
