CPM or PPC?

Which do you prefer as a primary advertisement form?

PPC or Pay Per Click is the more dominant on the market, however clicks can be invalid or have many problems associated with them. There can also be low paying clicks, but also high paying clicks.

CPM or Cost Per Million is the lesser used advertising type. You get payed for displaying their advertisements. However, pay is sometimes low. You are not guarantied clicks. Easy for publishers because they don't need worry about clicks or fraud.

If you join adsense or widgetbucks, both program have that ppc and cpm. I like to join both because they paying us from that. Some ppc network from my country also paying like that. I like it because its another way for us to earn big money..

Yes, both is preferable, but if you had the choice of only one of the two, which would it be? That is my question. In my opinion, I can't really decide, I have not yet have enough experience with both to determine the better alternative.

Err.. I think usually the PPC is much more preferred because the paying rate is higher. CPM usually has much lower and it takes too long of a time to create the same amount payment compared to PPC.

CPM is best for sites which have a very low click rate, in other words if you have 1000 visits a day and only 1 person clicks on the ad then you only earn from that one person. The only problem with this is people try to cheat the system by using autosurf programs which can have your account deleted.

PPC is only good if you have a high click rate, but the only problem is that you cant really say "please click on this ad" some sites do, but these sites rarely have the PPC ad's for long.

Find out your click rate then decide from there.

Also, I would expect high traffic sites to be using more CPM rather than PPC because they have enough traffic to raise their CPM rates if using any program. However, it is unlikely that the CCP will rise.

PPC. Thats the better if i need to choose. Its more better than cpm. I'm not good to get many impression every month. But i can sure i can gain a lots of traffic and loyal visitor. Its hard. But i think its fine if we give a try right?

Yeah I do agree with you that if your traffic is high then CPM is much more worth it compared to using PPC if you have a low conversion rate.
Anyway, I don't think it's an issue since Adsense and Widgetbuck is also offering both options for the users so we can opt to use both.

I suppose so, with programs offering both I don't see why you would use one or the other. Unless you figured you got more money/more of a share with just a company that specialized with one or the other.

Yeah. Just use both of them and nothing to lose. There's not much of a debate here on which to choose since you can have both options.

Surreal · #11 (**permalink**) 01-21-2008, 10:43 AM

Indeed, not much of debate. So why don't we make it you have to choose one or the other. Which would you choose and why? I know you can have both, but if you could only choose one, which would it be?

Yap. Thats the better idea because i already use both to earn money from internet. Even i'm not earn big. But i believe thats the best way i can earn from internet if i really do my work..

Please be careful when using CPM, some of them have really good rates, but when you go to take the money out they ask you to pay THEM to access your money, their excuse for asking for money is:

"We have noticed you are not a pro member yet - to withdraw money you must be a pro member. Click here to upgrade for only $5.99 a month"

I just been caught by one on my other sites, I dont mind upgrading once becuase I have more money in the account, will keep you updated on this con
