3 Best CPM ad Networks to Monetize Blog Traffic

Do you have a high traffic or are you looking for an Adsense alternative to monetize your website or blog? I will introduce you to the best CPM ad networks that you can join and start earning money for your hard work. 

What are CPM ads?

CPM (Cost per Thousand Impressions) based ads are a reliable and great way to make money with your blog. CPM advertising pays you for every thousand potential customers that view ads on your blog. CPM is an initialism for Cost per mile, with mile beign Latin for thousand. 

An “impression” means the display of an ad to a user while viewing a web page. A single web page may contain multiple ads. In such cases, a single pageview would result in one impression for each ad displayed. Therefore, the higher your pageviews, the more ad impressions, the more money you make. 

Therefore, to make more conversion from CPM networks, place ads in prominent positions in your blog or website.

CPM ads may not be as rewarding as most CPC ad networks especially Adsense, but they work best for bloggers with high traffic. With traffic volume of about a thousand plus daily one can make cool money with CPM ads.
