Solved Where to view CPM?

[ExtremeExtremity]

Hi,

I recently joined Freedom! and I am wondering where I can view my CPM / RPM. I can't find the answer of the FAQs or any of George's videos on YouTube so I thought I'd ask here.

Thanks in advance.

Go to your analytics ( https://www.youtube.com/analytics ), look for "Ad Rates" button on the vertical menu, click it and you should see your CPM. If you just joined, then you should wait about a week to get first statistics about your CPM, ad revenue etc.

Firstly, you get the same CPM through Freedom! as you would through AdSense or other networks.
Secondly, CPM isn't an exact thing for a channel and usually varies a lot (depending on things like view location, type of video, viewer age, viewer interests, etc.)

You can see an average CPM for your channel by going to your YouTube Dashboard >> Analytics >> Ad rates.

Here is a little information just so you and anyone viewing this thread understands what CPM means : -
CPM, or Cost Per Mille, is the price an advertiser is paying, per thousand monetizable views, on your videos. Each view is carefully reviewed and designated into either of the following categories.

• YouTube defines a monetized view as: "a monetized playback is when a viewer views your video (i.e., a view) and is shown at least one ad impression or when the viewer quits watching during the pre-roll ad without ever reaching your video (i.e., an abandonment)." Basically, that means that the viewer must watch and/or click an advertisement on one of your videos to be a monetized view.

• A non-monetized view, however, is when a viewer does not see an ad on your video, but it counts towards your view count. These are actually the most common view you will receive. This is how you can have 10k views one month, but only makes $3.00.

CPM brings a lot of factors into play like: the type of content you produce, audience demographics, audience residency (some countries don’t have a partnership program, so they may not be eligible for ads), tastes/interests, and many more. CPM also fluctuates a lot. During the Holiday season, when advertisers have their largest budget, your CPM will skyrocket and then drop during the Spring season when their budgets are at their lowest.

Always keep your eye on your CPM, but don't rely on it too much since it can (and will) change periodically. Contrary to common belief, CPM rates are determined based on your channel's content, not the network you are partnered with. Every network uses the exact same advertising system, the one provided by YouTube. No network has a "special" deal and can guarantee any CPM rate, as it fluctuates periodically.

To view an estimation of your CPM you can go to your Analytics page on YouTube and then click on 'Ad Rates' and then this will be broken down your estimated monetised playbacks, playback based CPM and CPM.

Ah thanks for the info! My YouTube analytics is still showing revenue too but I thought that was just for ad sense - will this show my earnings accurately?

The YouTube Dashboard will provide an accurate estimate of your earnings. The earnings displayed there aren't final, the final earnings are what's paid out in the end and shown in the Freedom! Dashboard. I'd not recommend going by CPM to get information about your earnings as CPM has way too many random factors to it.
