thanks for the info! i’ve been trying to figure out the difference between CPM and PPCs but didn’t have much information about it till now. hope you could also share links to ad hosting sites other than adsense.

I don’t think that has ever been a problem. As long as you don’t overdo the ads or use annoying pop-ups, visitors won’t mind some ads. Most don’t even see them.

Yes, the high paying ones often require your site to be a pretty high-traffic site.

What about visitors who come purely for content and not to get bombarded by advertisements?

Won’t you lose such visitors?

Sorry for the silly question as I am fairly new to blogging.

Regards,

Ian.

I’ve been looking into these types of ads for a while now and with my blog the CPM networks I get accepted to the rates are too low and the ones that give good rates I get denied from.

Suzie, if you are going to sell your advertising on a per click basis it would be CPC (cost per click) CPM ads are billed based on the number of views (cost per thousand impressions) For a newspaper CPM is probably the most logical choice of ads and it makes it a lot easier to plan your ad space sales: a per click ad could occupy an ad slot on your site for a very long time without making you any money (if nobody clicks the ad) The CPM ad, on the other hand, will expire after the paid for number of views. Looking at your site stats, you can make a pretty accurate estimate on how long a given ad will run. There are numerous, ready to use, ad scripts available or you could write your own simple script. I have a simple php ad script tutorial available at phpinclude.net This script only handles the actual viewing of the ad and keeping track of the number of views, but it could easily be extended with additional functionality.

Thank you Nico for your reply
We are not signed with an advertising program.
Our Website is a newsPaper, and we add advertising to the site( simple one) like an advertising for a company or something like this.
till now we count on time basis, for example for one month (advertising appear on our site) we took xx$ rate.
from now on we need to count on click Basis (CPM) but I don’t have an idea on how CPM works.

Is it a simple code that we have to write? or it is a software that we have to download.
Our site is done in PHP.

Hope you got the idea now, if not I can clarify more..
Hope u can help me..
Thanks a lot

Suzie, I’m not sure what you are looking for. What kind of banners are you showing on your site? Are you signed up with an advertising program?

Dear Friends
We have a Website containing few Banners, we need to add the CPM (cost per 1,000) to manage our Banners system.
But I don’t know how to do it, is there a stand alone software (CPM) or a script that we can add that can do the calculation.
I need CPM Program…
our website is done in PHP
If some one has a hint or can help me, I’ll be more than thankful
thanks a lot…
