Top AD Networks (CPM) to earn from. Adsense Alternatives
When it comes to CPM most people think they get payed by every 1,000 visitors but is actually by 1,000 pageviews, theres a HUGE difference!
CPM stands for Cost per Mile which is Cost Per Thousand views (VIEWS not Visitors)
For example one day you might have 500 visitors to your site, lets say all those 500 visitors viewed 3 pages and in each page you have a total of 2 banner ads so that means:
500 x 3 = 1500 x 2 = 3,000
That means 500 visitors gave your 3,000 pageviews, so depending how much the CPM network you are using pays per 1,000 impressions then thats how much you make. For example lets say the CPM network you are using pays 0.40cents per 1,000 pageviews that means with 3,000 pageviews you made like $1.20
Of course there are networks that pay even 3$ or even more per 1,000 imps, but if your sites are mainly warez then you will probably not get into any of those really HIGH paying networks!
BE AWARE THAT NOT ALL NETWORKS WILL PAY YOU FOR EVERY PAGEVIEW A USER GIVES YOU. SOME NETWORKS HAVE A LIMIT OF 3 UNIQUE VIEWS FROM THE SAME USER,ETC WHILE OTHER NETWORKS COUNT MOST OF THEM.
