Google Adsense CPM Ads Earn Money Without Clicks
November 12th, 2005 | Filed under Adsense, Google, Make Money Online.Not all Google Adsense Ads require clicks to make extra money quickly for you. If you analyze reports, you may have seen earnings without any clicks. This is because many ads are CPM ads for which advertisers pay you money per 1000 ad impressions.
CPM stands for “cost per 1000 impressions.” Advertisers running CPM ads set their desired price per 1000 ads served, select the specific sites on which to show their ads, and pay each time their ad appears.
Why is it good for you?
CPM ads in Google Adsense compete against pay-per-click (or CPC, cost per click) ads in the ad auction, so only the highest performing ads will be served to your pages. If an advertiser wants to specifically target your site, they will need to bid high enough to beat out the CPC ads that are already in the auction in order to show up on your page. Google pays you each time a CPM ad is shown on your page. But you won’t earn additional revenue for clicks on these ads.
How do CPM ads look like?
CPM ads can be either text or image ads, and are always site-targeted. CPM text ads will expand to take up the entire ad unit.
What I learnt from this?
I had earlier added a competitive ad filter to several ads which seemed less targeted and were less likely to get clicked, but as income dropped I realized that these were CPM ads and they made extra money even if they were not clicked. And they competed for price with ads which would have appeared in their place, so no point filtering them anyway. The Google Adsense ad auction and smart pricing are too complex for us to deal with, lets leave it to Google at best. For more information, visit Adsense support.

But guess what…advertisers pay only 25 cents for 1000 impressions which is not cool..and i always stay away from it..only one advertisers taking control over your website and paying so less.

hi i need Google Ad sense Help Thx
Just to response to Jack,
CPM varies greatly from a mere 25cts to $50. So it really depends on your case.
you had really done a great job my friend
sooooo, do i have any say on what type of ads show up on my site?? cpm or cpc ads?
Thanks for this information - I always wondered why once in a while I would have a considerable bonus in my account at the end of the day, but I guess it was because Google of payment for impressions.
I agree with Jack. I have tried many cpm advertisers. None of them pays higher than 25 cents. Some them pays as low as 8 cents.
At times i wonder when would google give publishers choice to either select CPM ads, CPC or both. I wish we could have that freedom.
I like your post so much.
Good article man, but yo can use CPM advertising only if you have not so targeted audience.
