CMF(Changing Market Forever) ads is a new ad network that aims to provide advertising space at low costs.cmf-ad-logo

The transactions are based on credits (like Entrecard). Registering is very simple and once registered, you will have to add your blog.

How CMF Ads Work?

You can buy/earn credits on CMF network. Each credit is equivalent to $0.25. After you have credits, you can use them to advertise your own blog or sell them. Credits are sold for half the buying price.

Bids are made on monthly bases and multiple advertisers can bid at the same time for single ad spot. There ads are shown in rotation and this way, advertisers get good value for money and publishers earn more.

Adding Blog to CMF Ads

Adding blog to CMF ads is dead simple.You need to enter URL, Description, Category and price etc.

After approval of blog, you have to add a 125×125 image. Read: How to Create 125×125 Ad For Your Blog.

After adding code/WordPress plugin, you have to wait for system to verify code. After verification, your blog is listed in market and advertisers can see it.

CMF is good option as you can earn and advertise at the same time. However, right now, the network is new and prices are low for most blogs. Most common price is 5 credits per month.

You can sell minimum of 80 credits for $10, so $10 is the payout limit. But this seems a bit hard to achieve for smaller blogs because most common price is 5 credits($1.25) per month and it will take some time before you start getting regular payouts.

However, if you want to advertise your blog without spending much, this is good option. Also, if you find Project Wonderful bidding system complicated, CMF ads is the way to go.

Hey, I just found this review on your blog. Since you published this post, several things have changed:

CMF Ads now operates in dollars and cents, not credits, which should make the system easier to pick up.

The minimum cashout used to be 80 credits as you said, but this required you to have $20 in your account to be able to cash out $10. You can now cash out a minimum of $10 for a payout of $5. You can also purchase a minimum of $5 to get things started – previously the minimum purchase was $10.

It’s possible to add your feed URL and get your latest post displayed on the Recent Posts page. This helps with blog promotion and I’ve noticed I am commenting on more blogs since this feature was added.

If you have time, it would be good to check out CMF Ads again to see what else has changed. Thanks for the review!
