Understanding CPM<\/span><\/a> (Cost Per Mille) is important if you are a publisher who is trying to maximize your site revenue or an advertiser planning to stretch your budget out. It is a standard metric commonly used in <\/span>programmatic advertising<\/span><\/a>, but it is also a metric that can create confusion if it drops or fluctuates. Let\u2019s look at what leads to the fluctuations in CPM, and what can be done to improve your CPM.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are The Reasons for a Low CPM?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Before diving into the tips to lower your CPM, let\u2019s understand the causes for an underperforming CPM.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Low-quality traffic<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

    Advertisers are interested in showing their ads to users with a high potential to engage. Your CPM will be lower if your site attracts traffic that doesn\u2019t meet an advertiser\u2019s demand.<\/span><\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Low visitor engagement<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

    Advertisers will not see much value in sites that report of a high bounce rate and low average session duration. Quality engagement is of high significance when it comes to bidding in programmatic advertising.<\/span><\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Ad placements<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

    Ads with bad placement and viewability do not get paid well. Your CPM drops when your ads are placed below the fold or where user rarely scrolls as this affects your ad viewability.<\/span><\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Seasonality and demand shifts<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

    Seasonal patterns lead to an impact on the CPM. They tend to see a spike during the holiday season but might dip in certain months of the year.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How Can You Improve Your CPM?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Since CPM is dependent on the traffic of your website, it focuses on improving the quality of your website traffic, better experiences and smarter monetization strategies.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Enhance user experience<\/span><\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n

      Ensure your site is responsive, mobile-friendly, fast loading, and not oversaturated with ads. An overcrowded site can cause ad fatigue and bad engagement.<\/span><\/li>\n

    2. \n

      Optimize ad layout<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

      Use variety of ad structures like sticky ads, in-content ads, video ads to test ad placements, formats and their viewability. Study website heatmaps to understand user engagement.<\/span><\/li>\n

    3. \n

      Target high-quality traffic<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

      Attract high-quality traffic by using SEO tactics but also focus on getting referral traffic and growing an email list. Advertisers consider returning visitors valuable.<\/span><\/li>\n

    4. \n

      Diversify your content<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

      Include topics that will attract premium advertising demand. Curate content that can lead to competitive bidding.<\/span><\/li>\n

    5. \n
