It’s CMF Ads Once More

When my blogpal Michelle saw again the CMF Ads widget on my blog yesterday, she e-mailed me, asking why I rejoined as a publisher with that ad network. 
By way of introduction, CMF (Changing Marketing Forever) Ads is an ad network where a blogger can advertise on its member publisher blogs for as low as $ 0.01 for 30 days.
A CMF Ads publisher-blogger can earn 100% of the funds from the ads placed on his/her blog, while a blogger who promotes and advertises his/her blog on a member site benefits from a very low price through ad space sharing with other advertisers.
Reasons Why I Rejoined As A Publisher.
Since I changed my publisher account to that of an “advertiser-only” two months ago, I have observed that there are many positive changes and innovations that took place at CMF Ads that make being a publisher exciting.
So here’s the reasons why I rejoined.
1. Spikes
Spikes is a great but cheap way to drive instant traffic to a blog. All bloggers need traffic, and Spikes guarantees 25 unique visitors to your site for only $ 0.10, 50 unique visitors for only $ 0.20, and 75 visitors for just $ 0.30.
Furthermore, through the Spikes I was able to see blogs with good quality content posts in different niche and categories which I did not see before.
2. More Blogs To Advertise, With Bargain Prices
CMF Ads has many good quality blogs whose owner-members charge for as low as $ 0.01 for 30 days – which you can’t find anywhere else in the industry.
That alone makes advertising in CMF Ads not only wonderful but also awesome. And a member-blogger can just advertise with ease on any sites that he/she likes from his publisher account.
3. Dynamic Forum and Excellent Support
The CMF Ads Forum is a wonderful place to meet new and veteran bloggers, exchange ideas on blogging, blog promotion, traffic exchange, and on anything related to blogging.
In addition, what I like in CMF Ads as a publisher is its support. Every time I have questions or problems I can just create an “alert” and presto! I can get answers within a day, sometimes within a hour!
In my experience, not every ad network has this kind of fast and excellent support to its members, with the exception of Adgitize.
Those are the reasons, Michelle, why I rejoined CMF Ads.
In Conclusion
It was just like yesterday that I left CMF Ads as a publisher. Now I’m back and to paraphrase a classic refrain of The Carpenters’ song –
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me smile.
Just like before
It’s CMF Ads once more.
Glad you rejoined! Every venue has its strengths and weaknesses, but overall, I think CMF is doing quite a bit right.
I’m glad I happened on this post because just yesterday, I was thinking about cancelling my CMF account. When I review the results of my ads, the number of clicks back to my blog is low to none. Yes, it’s inexpensive, but not really sure if it’s effective. I am getting good results from EC and Adgitize, but so far, CMF has been the least successful at bringing traffic to my blog–just personal observations!
Great review of CMF Ads. By having the choice of Spikes and traditional banner ads, a publisher can have the best of both world: Guaranteed visitors and getting your brand out there.
A friend of mine just cancelled CMF but, honestly, I get a kick out of seeing my blog advertised on others sites. Having recently retired after losing my forensic nursing job of 21 years in massive budget cuts to the city and county of San Francisco, I can’t afford my other advertising. My income dropped $90,000/year. That why I have time to blog!!!
Thanks for the info on CMF. I really did not know much about it, but your post will have me considering it. Your information has been helpful. Also, thanks much for the recommendation you gave me on Entrecard. Very kind remarks which I do appreciate.
I recently returned to CMF Ads as well. I have been particularly interested in the spikes and I have found that it has given me a boost. I am still concerned about the bounce rate that I get off of EntreCard, CMF, and Adgitize.
Thanks for the fair review, I’d be interested to see how your referral stats have changed over the last few weeks.
Showing your age with that reference to the Carpenters, Eli
Hope this finds you well.
Sincerely,
Mike
Good to hear the advatages of CMF Ads in such a detailed presentation. I joined CMF Ads a few weeks ago because after a blogger friend introduced it to me through via twitter. I am really enjoying it.
I am still figuring out how good the “Spikes” works but I have used CMF ads for quite a some time already. I like it more than adgitize or EC because I can control my ads value.
