If you are not familiar with CMF Ads, please see my other blog post on adding CMF Ads to your blog.

CMF Ads has a great forum.  The community is very close and I have used the forums a few times to get help on topics both CMF related and otherwise.  Also, this is a great way to improve your visibility within the CMF Ads website if you are still waiting for your first advertiser.  If you are an advertiser, it is also a great place to meet publishers who share the same interests as you so that you can find the right websites to advertise on.

While you are posting on the forums, you might as well advertise your blogs for free by adding them in your signature.  There was some confusion while I was trying to add a signature so I thought I would post a short tutorial here.

Firstly, you need to have posted 10 messages on the forum before signatures will be enabled for you.  Once you get involved in a discussion, this should take no time at all so get cracking.  Once you have 10 messages, it takes about an hour for your signature page to be enabled (thanks Ben).

Signature Link

 

After the short wait, log into the forum, click on the User CP link on the left.  You will see a new link ‘Edit Signature’.  Click this to goto the edit signature screen.  

Some guidelines for the signature: Everything except text and links will get stripped out however affiliate links are not allowed. Formatting options include Bold, Italic & UnderlineLinks to blogs are ok.  (Thanks Turnip & Jane).  

 

 

 

Edit Signature

Enter your signature here and click ‘Save Signature’.  You will be shown a signature preview.

Preview Signature

Thats it.  All new forum posts should now show your signature.  Post a new message to check this.

Check if your signature shows up properly

I hope you found this guide helpful.  Do let me know if you find any errors.
