Basic Math for Mobile Ad Ops for IAP PublishersCalculating eCPM based on IAP Revenue: AKA, why is it so expensive to purchase inventory from certain mobile pubs?

Use IAP Revenue to Calculate LTV

e.g. $5

CTR = Clicks/Impression

s

e.g. 10%

Conv Rate = Conv/ Clicks

e.g. 2%

(Conv/ Imp) = CTR * Conv Rate

= .002

(Conv/ M) =(Conv/ Imp) * 1000

= 2

eCPM (RPM) = (Conv/ M) * LTV

= $10
