RPM. What comes to mind when you hear this abbreviation? A fancy dish in a Michelin French restaurant? A speedometer on a sports car? Nope and nope. RPM is Revenue Per Mille (thousand).\u00a0It calculates the estimated earnings of a webpage for every 1000 views it receives. Check out this simple math break:<\/p>\n

RPM (Revenue Per Thousand Page Views) = (Total Revenue \u00f7 Total Pages Vues<\/u>) x 1,000<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Why is Revenue Per Mille <\/strong>the keyword in <\/strong>Programmatic Advertising<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Imagine you’re organizing a big reception party (and, of course, it’s a hit). Would you charge an entrance fee based on the number of times the doorbell rang or the number of guests who actually stepped inside? The latter, right? That’s how RPM works in the programmatic environment. It helps publishers get a clearer picture of their revenue against the actual views or interactions, making it an invaluable metric in understanding the amount of euros that pour into your account from your webpage.<\/p>\n

Let’s sprinkle in some numbers. If you earn \u20ac100 from 50,000 Page Views, your RPM would be \u20ac2. Simple, isn\u2019t it? But here’s the catch: a higher RPM doesn’t always mean more revenue.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a peek at why a high Revenue Per Mille doesn’t always mean more revenue<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the surface, it seems like the higher this figure, the more money you\u2019re raking in, right? Not quite. Remember that party you were hosting? An empty room doesn’t sound like much fun. So, you invite more people, thinking the more the merrier. But numbers alone don’t guarantee fun if those guests aren’t dancing, talking and enjoying. Similarly, with RPM, if you\u2019re getting a ton of unengaged traffic, that high RPM can be misleading.<\/p>\n
