Calculate your website's Page Revenue Per Mille (RPM) to measure how much you earn from every 1,000 pageviews. This is a crucial metric for publishers to assess overall monetization performance and optimize their revenue strategy.
Your Page RPM is:
Page RPM measures your total earnings for every 1,000 pageviews your website receives. It is calculated by dividing your total revenue by your total pageviews and then multiplying the result by 1,000.
Formula: (Total Revenue / Total Pageviews) × 1,000
Example: If your website earned $250 from 50,000 pageviews:
($250 / 50,000) × 1,000 = $5.00 Page RPM
A 'good' Page RPM depends heavily on your niche, audience location, and traffic sources. A general blog might see a Page RPM of $2-$10, whereas a specialized finance blog could have an RPM of $20 or more. The most important benchmark is your own historical data and striving for month-over-month improvement.
Page RPM measures your total revenue per 1,000 pageviews. It's a site-level metric. Impression RPM measures revenue per 1,000 individual ad impressions. Since one pageview can generate multiple ad impressions, your Page RPM is often higher than your average Impression RPM.
Page RPM can fluctuate due to several factors, including seasonality (advertiser budgets are highest in Q4), changes in your traffic mix (social traffic often has a lower RPM than search traffic), and any modifications you make to your ad layout or content strategy.
