CPC

CPC = Cost per Click

CPC is a click on an ad. CPC is the most popular and known word in Google Adsense. This determines the income of one's YouTube, App, and Website. Different amount of money is received from Advertisers for each keyword on websites. When the ads displayed in Adsense are clicked, the advertiser who runs the ad goes to the website of the advertiser and can be made to perform the necessary actions on that website.

CPM

CPM = Cost per Mile (or) Cost per Thousand

The word M in CPM stands for 1000 in Roman letters. So CPM is also known as Cost per Thousand. CPM refers to the amount paid by advertisers to publishers for viewing 1000 ads on Adsense.

How to Measure CPM:

CPM = Total amount spent / Total Impressions × 1000

Example:

If an advertiser advertises for $100 and 10,000 impressions are displayed, the CPM for the publisher is $10 per 1000 impressions.

CTR

CTR = Click through Rate
