There are two types of advertisements, that is CPC/PPC and CPM. CPC stands for Cost per click (pay per click) ads which are placed as banners on the websites. Pop-ups, and under ads are also used in the blogs to display advertisements.

In CPC ads, when a reader clicks on the ad, the blogger is getting paid for that click. Another type is CPM which stands for Cost Per 1000 impressions, you will be paid by the number of impressions on your ad, they don’t need to click it to generate income.

The blogger’s blog should have the number of visitors and if it satisfies requirements of ad networks policy, you get approved to place the ads in the blog.

The requirements differ network to network. For example, If you need to place google ads in your blog, you should have quality content, at least 6 months older domain, sufficient content in the blog etc, to get approved.
