The Mother of All Mile Runs 0.015/CPM
Not so long ago I have found the cheapest and the easiest way to get SkyTeam Gold level with Aeroflot on one of its routes .
Currently from the 1st of October to the to the 30th of March fly Moscow -Vladivostok route which will earn you 16000 Miles return as they are credited as Premium fares (200%) , the trick is they are subsidised by the state and only cost £172 return which means the 3 trips needed will cost you £516 or around $800 being the cheapest way to get SkyTeam Gold and 52000 Miles as well .
There is a limited amount of countries that can enter Russia without visa but in this instance you don't need to it as Sheremetyevo has a Transit zone and in Vladivostok you will just need to do a turnaround and fly out on the same plane . Otherwise you can get one for around $80 .
This is my first mile run suggestion so please don't be rough with criticism )

Warning!! This is a special "B" tariff, 25% bonus only!
Congrats with the first MR post... and a few crucial corrections:
This is not correct, bankops is absolutely right - SVO-VVO is a domestic flight, so you have to pass the border control.

With the standard Y/B SU bonus my math shows 1.7cpm (0.017$pm).
But this is a special Y/B fare tariff with 25% bonus only (same is true for SVO-KGD/SIP/PKC/KHV/UUS).
So, it will be 0.027$pm for the return flight and even 5 SVO-VVO flights would not be enough for SM E+ status.

Even if you take premium economy you get 200% and it will take this to 0.01CPM, still great deal...

I do. Please consider this thread from about a month ago: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milea...o-uus-pkc.html
P.S. It might work for a PE booking in A class for about 3.5 CPM.
