CPM Question

I am new to learning all of this about CPMs etc... I checked my CPMs and it is over $15. Doesn't this mean I should be making roughly $15 per 1000 views? All of my views are monetized.
In December I had 3,800 views and only made $4.
What is going on here?
(I am partnered with Fullscreen if that helps)

If you have under 1000 monetized views then YouTube hasn't enough info to calculate the average CPM properly and the average will be wrong (usually by 150% or more).

You must not get many monetized views if you only earned 4$ :)
 
Go into your YouTube analytics, look under ad performance and check estimated monetized playbacks. Unfortunately they are probably only a fraction of your total views as YouTube doesn't serve an ad on every view of every video.
 
I'll do the math. $4 net revenue equates to $7.27 in gross revenue (45/55 split with YT). $7.27 gross revenue on a $15.38 CPM is roughly 47% of one base increment. You had 472 (approximately) monetized views.

This assumes $4 exactly. If there is a remaining fraction then my math will be off.

Remember that not every view on a video that you turn monetization on for, is actually a monetized view. A monetized view is one where an ad was actually displayed. Sometimes ads are not displayed due to things like mobile phone views, adblocker, low ad inventory, etc.
 
$15.38, minus 45%, minus your split with Fullscreen then see what the amount is. That's what you're making.

Your right I had approximately 814 monetized playbacks[DOUBLEPOST=1389844533,1389844380][/DOUBLEPOST]Thanks everyone for the help!
So CPM is not how much you make per 1000 monetized views. CPM is before youtube and the network's cut.
Is that right?
