As a publisher, you need to be well-versed with both terminologies within <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/programmatic-advertising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">programmatic advertising<\/a> to reap the full benefits of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/ad-inventory-management-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ad inventory<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advertisers use CPM to target relevant audiences, increase the visibility of their ad campaigns, and optimize them accordingly. On the other hand, publishers use eCPM in advertising for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ad revenue optimization<\/a> and compare inventory effectiveness across their digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get into eCPM vs CPM in detail and understand how the two metrics can be beneficial for you as a publisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-ecpm-ecpm-meaning\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_eCPM_eCPM_Meaning\"><\/span>What is eCPM? (eCPM Meaning)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>eCPM stands for Effective Cost Per Mille. As mentioned earlier, eCPM is a monetizing metric used by publishers to know the revenue generated per thousand advert impressions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Trivia:<\/em><\/strong><em> Mille is the Latin word for Thousand.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, effective is the word you should emphasize. It means the effective revenue earned by the publisher per 1000 impressions sold to the advertiser, whether the ad gets clicked or not. Apart from CPM, eCPM is also determined using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/cpc-calculator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CPC<\/a>, CPL, and other campaigns that use the publisher&#8217;s inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two terms a publisher should be aware of regarding eCPM:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>eCPM Floor:<\/strong> It is the minimum price set by the publisher per thousand impressions to display ads on their website. Advertisers placing their bids below the eCPM <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/what-is-floor-price\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">floor price<\/a> won\u2019t be able to show their ads on that publisher\u2019s website.<\/li><li><strong>eCPM for Ads:<\/strong> App developers use eCPM to compare ad revenue across various platforms using multiple factors like location, demographics, etc., to determine which ad unit makes the most profit.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-calculate-ecpm-ecpm-formula\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Calculate_eCPM_eCPM_Formula\"><\/span>How to Calculate eCPM?

Then, the eCPM will be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(2500\/850,000)*1000 = $2.94<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, the publisher earned USD 2.94 per thousand impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s look at what CPM is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-cpm-cpm-meaning\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_CPM_CPM_Meaning\"><\/span>What is CPM? (CPM Meaning)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CPM stands for Cost Per Mille. It means the cost incurred by a marketer for every thousand impressions sold to them by the publisher. It\u2019s an important metric for advertisers to decide their budget for ad campaigns across platforms. CPM helps the advertiser decide which platform will receive what percentage of the total advertising budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-calculate-cpm-cpm-formula\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Calculate_CPM_CPM_Formula\"><\/span>How to Calculate CPM?

You are a shopkeeper who sells lemon juice. At present, you have 5 liters of lemon juice, or 20 glasses in your stock (ad inventory). Each glass of lemon juice represents 10,000 impressions. In total, you have 200,000 ad impressions to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, as lemon juice is a perishable item, you will need to sell them as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first half of the day, you sell 16 glasses (160,000 impressions) for $2 CPM price. This gives you an ad revenue of USD $320. You sell 3 glasses in the evening for a CPM price of $1.5, generating an ad revenue of USD 45.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, a fly dropped in the last glass, so you couldn\u2019t sell it. In total, you sold 19 glasses for USD 365 (320+45).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, your eCPM would be the total revenue generated divided by the number of impressions sold multiplied by one thousand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>eCPM = 365\/190,000*1000 = $1.92<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that the eCPM calculated here is only for the 19 glasses or 190,000 impressions you sold. Hence, you have earned $1.92 per thousand impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-derive-ecpm-from-cpm\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Derive_eCPM_from_CPM\"><\/span>How to Derive eCPM from CPM?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We will be taking another example to understand how, as a publisher, you can convert an advertiser\u2019s metric to a publisher\u2019s metric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s keep the above example to maintain uniformity in our understanding. You are a publisher with ten ad slots and got connected to an advertiser through an ad exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advertiser is offering you a guaranteed deal of buying your 100,000 impressions for USD 500. So, the CPM price will be (500\/100,000)*1000 = $5 CPM rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as you are getting this deal through an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/what-is-an-ad-exchange\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ad exchange<\/a>, you won\u2019t be getting the full amount. The platform will be deducting a certain amount as their fees, let\u2019s say 10% ($50). Accordingly, you will be earning 500-50 = USD 450 for 100,000 impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going by this, your eCPM should be USD (450\/100,000)*1000 = $4.5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the advertiser paid a $5 CPM rate, the amount you would be receiving as a publisher would be $4.5. Hence, one should make sure that eCPM and CPM are not used interchangeably. Keep this variation in mind while negotiating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/programmatic-vs-direct-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">direct deals<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-is-effective-cpm-ecpm-important-for-publishers\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_Effective_CPM_eCPM_Important_for_Publishers\"><\/span>How is Effective CPM (eCPM) Important for Publishers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>eCPM is a core metric used by publishers to judge the quality of their ad inventory.
