CPM is calculated as: ($15,000/2,400,000)*1000 = $6.25 per thousand views In online advertising, if a website sells banner ads for a $10 CPM, that means it costs $10 to show the banner on 1000 page views.

CPA –Cost for acquisition CPA= CPM / (1000 x CTR x CR). Example: an advertiser pays a CPM of $10. 5 percent click-through rate (CTR) to the landing (destination page). 30 percent of those 5 percent convert to paying customers(CR). For 20,000 impressions, CPA is: $10/(1000*0.05*0.30) = $0.67. That is, the cost per acquisition is $0.67.
