CMF Ads revisited.

Just lately CMFAds have been adding new services and improving their product range. ‘Fighting back’ if you will.

Frankly I think this is nice to see. Previously I considered CMF ads a reasonable product, although without a real USP. However, with the addition of their Spikes (mentioned in a previous post), and now their USD10 network campaigns, I feel they’re coming into their own. No doubt they can only have benefited from the carnage that Adgitize has been experiencing too.

I know that Cornyman and Eli from Business Sphere have already mentioned CMFs new network campaigns, so they’ve both beaten me to the punch. However, that’s not going to stop me jumping on the bandwagon! lol.

First, the product. CMFAd’s network ad is simply your ad appearing all over the CMF network (assuming the blog owners accept it). Previously you had to choose blogs to advertise on, which is fine but a bit cumbersome. Now you submit an ad and off it goes! Wooo!

It also benefits publishers too. I’ve seen my incoming ad numbers increase on all my blogs with CMF ad spots on.

To try it out, I’m running this blog on a Network ad as well. After about 4 days running, the stats for my ad (taken from the CMF dashboard) are:

Chinaren’s Blog Pageviews: 49,302; CPM: $0.20 Clicks: 77; CPC: $0.13

…so whilst it’s not as many clicks as, say, Adgitize (when it’s working!) there’s a reasonable rate of clicks. I’ve certainly seen my ad on quite a few sites as I’ve been doing my blog rounds.

I’ll keep you updated.

As an aside, Adgitize has been up and down the last week. As I write this it’s down again.

As another aside, my apologies if I’ve not dropped on you recently. The last few weeks dropping/clicking as become a real chore as China’s new ‘Great Firewall’ policies hit your browser if you click on anything they don’t like. It makes life extremely difficult, to say the least, and I’ve had to rely on a VPN more and more.
