Difference between fixed vs cpm?

[Kaizahr]

Hey everyone, I've been reading some info on networks and have become a little confused. I see the initials CPM being thrown around a lot and I don't know what it means. Can someone please explain how networks pay you? Some say they pay a fixed amount while other offer a percentage of the earnings. Which is better and why? Thanks!

Fixed flat rate CPM is never a good idea as you will lose out on popular seasons when CPMs shoot up

I used to be at a fixed CPM and was happy with it. Instead of making a statement like "Fixed CPM's always suck", why don't you just let the person decide for himself. Some people like a fixed CPM because it provides security in there payout.

Oh yeah! I dont have fixed CPM and im getting like 15-20 dollar CPM here in finland so I think that fits me the best

Basically, a flat rate on CPM means you'll always make a certain amount, say $2, pet 1,000 views. Obviously that can be good if you would have earned less, but it's bad if you would have earned more. I guess you have to ask yourself whether you believe that you will go viral or slowly fade into obscurity.

I'm not sure what the actual acronym stands for, but it means the pay rate per 1,000 views.

Not at all... all fixed rate contracts I`ve seen, have a clause that says if the partner is making the network a loss, they have a right to kick them...
