Some sad news has recently been announced by the Blog Advertising Network, CMF Ads, the website will be closing its doors to its members on the 30th October, a sad do for those of us who have been with the site almost from the start.
Why Is CMF Ads Closing?
That was the question that I have asked and so have many other users of the Blog Advertising Network and Ben posted up on the CMF Ads blog with the reason:
For several months we have noticed a sharp decline in activity across the site. Many of our advertisers have simply stopped coming back.
We have had several attempts to bring the site back to life, such as Atomic Ads, but these have hardly been used. We have also noticed a big decrease in the amount of payments coming into the site. General site usage is also down.
There are always reasons for activity to decline, such as people going on holiday, having time off work or school, going back to work or school, going outside during the summer, and so on. However, there’s only so long you can come up with excuses. It’s reached the point where we can’t ignore it any longer.
It seems such a shame that the site is closing for me it’s been a good staple diet of traffic with the Sparks and Firework ads, that for a small cost would allow me to advertise on other sites for the fraction of the cost of some of the bigger advertising sites.
But as they say “All good things must come to an end”!
What If You Have A Balance Left In Your Account!
Don’t worry about that, members will have up to the 23rd October to request a “cashout” of funds over $1 (once a new cashout method is in place). So that should keep most people happy, of cause you could donate your funds back to Ben at CMF Ads.
Farewell CMF Ads
So goodbye CMF Ads and thank you for all the traffic you have sent me over the years and good luck to Ben with his future ventures
