CPM is the dollar amount (or other currency) which you are paying for advertising per one thousand impressions for your advertising.

What CPM Means? What Is CPM 
CPM stands for Cost Per Thousand Impressions. This is the unit measurement used to calculate the cost of money spent to get your ad viewed by 1,000 visitors to the website where the ad is placed.

How do I calculate CPM?
Calculating CPM is easy, what you need to do is divide the total cost of advertising by the number of impressions of the ad and then multiply it by 1,000.
For example, your campaign cost was $500 and your ad impression count was 5,000 you need to divide 500 by 5,000 and multiply it by 1,000 which is $100 CPM.

What is a good CPM?
There is no good or bad CPM as a good CPM depends on the advertising vertical, the products or services advertised and the publisher website. As with most digital marketing metrics, you need these parameters to determine if a CPM is good or bad. Based on past performance data, the CPM can be estimated and evaluated according to the business needs.

To simplify, asking what is CPM? The answer is the cost per thousands impressions of any ad.
