In Google Adwords what does CPM stand for?

[Miss T]

I am trying to reduce the budget for my Google Adwords campaigns. What does CPM stand for is it cost per month? I think it means something else though? Any tips on reducing the budget?

M is the roman numeral used in the printing industry to represents quantity of 1000.

Hence CPM means Cost Per 1000 ad impressions.

Generally CPC cost per click, is a safer investment for an untried campaign, it insures you at least get some user action for your money.

cost per mile - usually 1,000 impressions
