My New Buzz: CPM - Cost Per Megabyte

What is your CPM? Cost Per Megabyte?

I think maybe it is kind of useless, as most count Income Per Unique Visitor or Income Per Page View etc. I just want to think in the old days, when hosting is pretty expensive. What is your earning per megabyte? I guss it is pretty useless, as most of us never used that full megabytes provided by hosting company any way.

Also moot when you can get dedicated servers that offer 1TB a month for under $100.

or a gigabit line for $10k/mo ;)
per MByte I am making about $0.003

that is really bad. you are making only 3$ per G?. If you make 1T full, then you have 3000 minus the cost of 100, net 2900. Not bad if you can get there. Small numbers add up.

I know one guy making $4000 out of $30M, so $133 per M. Another person $2500 for 3G, so it is about $5/6 per M.

My target is $1 per M. that will make a $8 hosting plan $40K a month. Hey. Hey. Am I dreaming? If I have a dedicated server - That is $1M per month - same as the Top ebay affiliate.

I just made all of my pages bigger with 2000  's at the bottom, and de-optimized my gif's. I should see a nice revenue increase. :)

If you make 1T full

it takes a couple hours to do that yes... some of my competitors make even less per MByte... perhaps $0.0001 or so... but they also make $0.5M or so profit per month :)

What? You are making that much? Wow

Only take you few hours to have 1000G transfers? Your competitors make less per Mbyte, but still in the same level as you -- $500,000 per month?

Are you just running the site yourself? I admire you soooo much. $500,000 per month............... A long way for me to catch up...........

CPM is generally used as 'cost per 1000 clicks' usually in the context of I make $200CPM.

I always thought that CPM was cost per thousand impressions, not clicks?

Yes, it is impressions, not clicks.

[ShepMode]

Sorry yes impressions.
