How much is a good CPM rate?

In the world of online advertising, CPM impression rates (cost per mille or cost per thousand) are what most publishers and advertisers agree upon. Of course for the Advertisers, getting the best lowest CPM rate is ideal - but all this depends on the volume and quality of traffic a Publisher’s site is able to generate on a daily basis.

Again, measuring the the quality of traffic is important - and top 3 authority on measuring and ranking a site’s reach and traffic are Alexa, Google Page Rank and Technorati.

I have been looking around to check what would be the ideal CPM rate - for a site with no ranking, and for sites ranked under 100K by Alexa, or sites with Google Page Rank and for sites with Technorati rank as well.

And these are what I found:

For new sites - and sited not ranked: Usually it’s under a dollar per CPM, in some cases may reach up to USD4.00 but Advertisers do not gamble that much.

For newly ranked sites (close to 100K in Alexa ranking, Google rank of up to 2):USD1.20 to USD2.50 on the average and may go up to USD8.00.

For mid-ranked sites (under 100K in Alexa ranking, Google rank of 3 to 6): USD4.00 to USD8.00 on the average and may reach USD10.00 in some cases.

For high volume sites (usually ranked high in Alexa, with Google rank of 4 up): The unconfirmed ’standard’ CPM rate plays around USD10.00 and may reach to USD20.00 or more in some cases. That’s 0.01 to 0.02 cents paid to the Publishers per 1000 ad impressions. (edit: per ad impression, not per 1000 ad impression)

However, there has not been any published authority on CPM rates - though I’m still new to this, somebody may wish to share with me if there’ already one out there.

CPM rates may vary depending on a site’s reach, visitors demographics, media and technology used and several other factors.

Will continue to do a research on this.

An irresistible Web Hosting offer

Ever since I started blogging (3rd week of November, 2007), I always wanted to have my own domain and hosting - a dream that came a reality a month after. It was in December that I got my own site ( http://on-myweb.com ) through the small earnings that I generated during that period - plus a little extra cash.

For just USD4.95 a month, I had my first domain (free with the package), with unlimited emails, 1.5 Terrabytes of web space, 15 Terrabytes of bandwith, complete with Blogging softwares and other great add-ons. Plus, it allows me to host up to 25 domains - at no additional cost!

It was in January (last month) that I bought another domain http://bloggista.com for just USD6.50! Yes! I thought it was a bargain, plus I felt Bloggista.com is a premium domain name.

I’m still working on these websites contents - but all of these are hosted at iPower. Check out iPower’s great hosting deal this month - only until Valentines Day! For just USd4.95 a month (iPower Pro Plan), it’s definitely a bargain.

Recently, newbie Bloggista learns something from blogging (aside from creating great contents - an every bloggista dream):

QuestionNewbie bloggers should not - ever leave a comment on a pro blogger’s blog if not invited.

Answer Lesson learned: You will definitely be ridiculed by that pro blogger. Your supposedly good-intentioned, no-malice comments will become a pro blogger’s hit for the day. And you will be thrown like free snack to the pro blogger’s swarm of readers and commentators.

Answer Another lesson learned: Not all bloggers take free snacks.

QuestionNewbie bloggers should not leave a url link on a pro blogger’s blog - even on a chatbox.

Answer Lesson learned: Only the pro blogger has the right to put links on his/her blog. If you do so, then you are a spammer. You get to ride on the pro blogger’s popularity and ranking - which is, according to the pro blogger, is rude…unethical…

Answer Another lesson learned:  Its stupid to leave your url link on somebody else’s (especially on a pro blogger’s)  blog when your blog has a higher page rank anyway - stupid noob!. Don’t ever leave your url link again - blogRebel… stupid noob!

QuestionDon’t mess up with the passionate bloggers - who’s not going for the money anyway.

Newbie bloggers should not be stupid enough to praise a pro blogger, else he’ll be accused of accusing the passionate, talented pro blogger of being just after the money - of just getting paid of the things that pro blogger loves to do.

Answer Lesson learned: Passionate, talented pro bloggers don’t do it for the money. They think it’s a shitty bull shit of taking advantage of their thousands of loyal readers by putting crap ads  and product promotion shits on their blogs. Which will make you wonder how could a newbie blogger accuse a pro blogger of such…

Answer Another lesson learned: Just avoid praising and commending pro-bloggers, even if you are just simply appreciating the pro blogger’s blogging prowess. No matter how pure your intention is - you are just a newbie, and one stupid noob at that.

So don’t talk shit - noobs.
