Hi there,
Let's learn 2 lessons here :)
1) CPM = cost per mille. As in, the cost of 1,000 clicks. You divide by 1,000 to get the single click rate
2) Good consultants learn how to figure things out/research on their own. A 2 second google search would have given you the answer here!

CPM: cost per thousand. ;)
When you don't know what a term is, you have to ask. In this case, as Ian points out, you should google.
Doesn't make sense to try to answer a case if you are not understanding the terminology.

How much does the interviewer prompt you in an interviewer led case interview? After doing your structure is it pretty much just answering their questions?
