AdWords Site Targeted CPC Will Replace CPM...Maybe

I've been testing the AdWords site targeted CPC ads. I started slow but yesterday added a few hundred sites and upped the budget to see what's out there in terms of volume. After the new site additions yesterday I received 232,182 impressions for a total cost of $6.81.

Considering that the minimum bid for AdWords CPM ads is $0.25/M it really makes me wonder why anyone would use the CPM model if the site targeted CPC model is rolled out to all accounts.

Anyone care to speculate?

That would really depend upon the
consistent CTR of a CPM campaign wouldn't it?

I know someone that does better with CPM rather than with CPC, because they target certian blogs and forums. And as a result they have a better CTR with CPM. But they are selling to tech consumers, so perhaps it depends on your product and market. I don't know if a B2B business would be able to get their results.

Ian - you got it! I intentionally just provided the impression data and left out the click data:-)

Site targeted CPM ads will still be a viable, cost effective option for advertisers who write great ads ( in terms of high CTR) and can therefore get a high number of clicks per thousand impressions.

My 2 cents.
