CPV is the acronym commonly used to refer to (cost per view) or (cost per view) in advertising, but for some time it may also be a cost per visit. The CPV is an advertising space billing method that was first used for advertising banners on the Internet at the time when it was considered that a banner displayed was a banner seen. The concept of CPV was then linked to that of CPM. The concept of CPV was then used to address the problem of the visibility of display advertising and in this context, only commercials technically analyzed as visible in the sense of the MRC are counted and invoiced (for more details see the CPMV principle). The CPV is also used for video advertising (see CPV video) and now wins the digital display in outdoor advertising.
The EPC is the acronym for Earnings Per Click, which stands for "earnings per click". This expression is used by advertising networks on the internet. The EPC represents the amount that the publisher (the owner of the website that displays the ad) will receive for each click of the mouse on an ad. The EPC should not be confused with the CPC, because the EPC is the money that the publisher will receive for each click while the CPC is the amount that the advertiser must pay for each click (the advertising advertising takes a commission). Generally, if the publisher has rare and exclusive content and the advertiser has specific advertising then the EPC increases.

For affiliates, services and benefits can include simplifying the process of registering for one or more merchant affiliate programs, reporting tools, access to product API's and payment aggregation.Affiliates are generally able to join affiliate networks for free, whereas there is generally a fee for merchants to participate.

It is also common for affiliate networks to charge merchants a percentage of the commissions paid to affiliates, this is known as an (over-ride) and is payable on top of the affiliates commission.

CPM or (cost per thousand) or is the dominant mode of valuation and invoicing of Internet advertising space by which an advertiser is billed according to a price of advertising space expressed for a thousand views of the creation (banner, video, etc.). Excluding discounts and tariff discounts, if an advertiser buys 1 million advertising impressions at EUR 2.00 CPM, the cost of the campaign will be EUR 2000. The CPM can also be used to compare contact costs on other media. The CPM can sometimes be replaced by the concept of CPMV.Cost per mille (CPM), also called cost per thousand (CPT) (in Latin, French and Italian mille means one thousand), is a commonly used measurement in advertising. It refers to the cost an advertiser pays for one thousand views/clicks/impressions of an advertisement.The purpose of the CPM metric is to compare costs of advertising campaigns within and across different media. A typical advertising campaign might try to reach potential consumers in multiple locations and through various media. The cost per thousand impressions (CPM) metric enables marketers to make cost comparisons between these media, both at the planning stage and during reviews of past campaigns. Marketers calculate CPM by dividing advertising campaign costs by the number of impressions (or opportunities-to-see) that are delivered by each part of the campaign. Thus, CPM is the cost of a media campaign, relative to its success in generating impressions to see. As the impression counts are generally sizeable, marketers customarily work with the CPM impressions. Dividing by 1,000 is an industry standard.
