The CMF Ads

“CMF Ads provides low-cost advertising with high benefits for publishers. With a stable economy where every credit is paid for, CMF really is Changing Marketing Forever!”

For bloggers, its another source of money. Yet the modus operandi is similar to other popular advertising networks, the cost of advertising is relatively lower as compared to other networks. I think the network is still on its infancy.

If you haven't join the program yet, here is how CMF ads work:
1. Publishers sign up, add their blog(s), and add the CMF Ads widget. Advertisers sign up, and add their site(s). Publishers can receive ads and also place them. Advertisers can only place ads, they cannot receive them.
2. To advertise, you need credits. Credits can be purchased, or earned. 1 credit is worth $0.25.
3. Once you have found a site to advertise on, you click the Advertise link and confirm the ad purchase. Then the publisher decides whether to approve or deny your ad. If the ad is approved, it will run for 30 days.
4. Multiple ads can be placed on a blog during the same period of time. Larger widgets can be used to display multiple ads. Currently the widget can display 1, 2, 3 or 4 ads at a time.
5. If there are more ads than ad spots, a random selection is chosen from the ads that are running. This is why the ads are so affordable - you share the ad spot(s) with other advertisers.
6. Once an ad has run for a full 30 days, it will be removed from the relevant publisher. When this happens, the publisher will receive 100% of the price paid for the ad.
7. Publishers can either re-use credits for advertising on other sites, or sell the credits to CMF Ads for 50% of the purchase price.

Are you running CMF ads? Is it working for you? Please post your comments here.
