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.
