Aslo known as CPM (cost-per-mille) advertising, PPM advertising means you get paid for the number of times the ads are displayed on your site. The ads can be banners, pop-ups, pop-unders, or interstitials (ads which show for a few seconds between pages of a website).
Advantages of PPM advertising
- Set and forget: since you are paid at the number of impressions, you don’t have to care about the clickthrough rate (CTR), nor about finding the best placement on the pages.
- Steady income: as long as your traffic stays constant, you’ll know how much money you are going to make every month. As the payment is not influenced by geo-targeting, you can score the same even if you are doing business in the Philippines or elsewhere.
Drawbacks of PPM advertising
- High entry barrier: there are conditions of certain minimum traffic for your site to get accepted.
- Sometimes Obtrusive: some banners include sounds and very vivid colors flickering in the most annoying way. However, you can select only ads which you find suitable for your website.
