CPM – Cost Per Mille/Cost Per Thousand

CPM = (Cost to the Advertiser / No. of Impressions) x 1000

CPC – Cost Per Click

CPC= Cost to the Advertiser / Number of Clicks

CR – Conversion Rate

CR= (Number of positive conversions/ Number of clicks received) x 100

CPA – Cost Per Action/Acquisition

CPA = Cost to the Advertiser / Number of Conversions

CPA = Cost to an advertiser / (Number of ad impressions x CTR x CR)

eCPM- Effective Cost per Mille

eCPM = (Total earning from an ad campaign/ Total impressions) x 1000

eCPC – Effective Cost Per Click

eCPC = Total Earning from an ad campaign/ Total number of clicks received

eCPA – Effective Cost Per Action

eCPA = Total earning from an ad campaign/ Total number of actions taken
