What is the difference between RPM and CPM?

RPM is publisher earnings per 1,000 pageviews. CPM is advertiser cost per 1,000 impressions. RPM is always lower because networks take 30–50% revenue share.

Insurance ($12–$65 RPM), Finance ($8–$50 RPM), and SaaS/Business ($7–$38 RPM) are consistently the highest-paying niches for ad revenue in 2026.

How do I calculate my break-even point for a blog?

Divide your total monthly costs by your effective RPM, then multiply by 1,000. Example: $500/month costs ÷ $5 RPM × 1,000 = 100,000 pageviews needed to break even.

Does traffic geography affect ad revenue?

Yes, significantly. US traffic earns 5–10x more than Indian traffic. Tier-1 countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia) drive the majority of ad revenue for most publishers.
