Q:        How do cpc ads compete with cpm ads on the dispay network
Ans:    CPC bids are effectively converted into CPM bids.

Both CPA and CPM bidding automatically get an equivalent CPC bid in order to be entered into the auction. For CPA, the equivalent bid is based on the historical conversion information in the given campaign. For CPM the auction pulls from the the historical CTR. Once these equivalent CPCs are established, they are then entered into the auction with the other CPC bids. Where a CPA and CPM bid are competing with each other, it is the equivalent CPC bid from each that will be used. 

Note that the CPM and CPC aren't equivalent. The equivalent CPC bid is variable and will totally depend on the CPM bid and the historical CTR for that placement.

3. Sprites

When we talked about reducing the load time of landing pages and discussed ways to achieve the same, we talked about reducing image size and using less heavy formats. Sprites are one such tool which help achieve the same.
An image sprite is a collection of images put into a single image.A web page with many images can take a long time to load and generates multiple server requests.Using image sprites will reduce the number of server requests and save bandwidth.Hence reducing the load time of the page.
