Frequently Asked Questions

*What is CPM?

As with traditional display advertising, our ad inventory is sold PER THOUSAND IMPRESSIONS which is referred to as CPM. So if you purchase a R149 package, your ad will display 1,000 times.

How long will 1,000 impressions last?

This depends on how busy our site gets. Depending on your placements, this might last days, or sometimes weeks as we have a rotational system of ads within our ad zones. It’s best to buy say 5,000 impressions at a time to make a meaningful impact on a campaign. You can indicate your desired amount of impressions in the form above.
