		<description>I haven&#039;t had any problems with CMF.  They have by far, the fastest and best customer service, I have found on the net. I am a loyal user.</description>

		<description>Well, Mr. Glenn, I did glean some info from your interview and the ensuing comments. I appreciate the fact that original content is appreciated because that is the kind of crap I put out. I don&#039;t pay for any advertising at the moment, but you have given me reason to consider CMF.</description>

		<description>Great interview! You nailed it! You asked the right questions so in return you got the right answers.

When I signed up for CMF Ads, my application was approved in just a few minutes as in super quick! I then created a post about it and guess what Ben personally commented on my post. Since I am new I am still learning the CMF stuff. I find the network simple and effective.

P.S.
Thanks Glenn for placing an advert on my blog. More power to MOB! I like your entertaining posts here. It takes away my stress. LOL :D</description>

		<description>An interview article can be judged on how the interviewer asks questions -- poor questions result to poor article, and a good article is a product of asking the right questions. 

In this post, I can see that Glenn was able to ask good questions, resulting to the useful and informative article about CMF Ads -- another of the many quality articles which are the trademark and brand of this wonderful blog.</description>

		<description>I personally don&#039;t allow network ads. I feel the people that pay for a full month should get that a full month. I also now limit the amount of ads I run a month, because I have 2 widgets. I want to make sure each advertisers gets at least 10,000 hits a month, if you ad in another 20 network ads, then there is no way an advertiser will get that amount. I am even thinking if my traffic does start to peak for the summer, which it probably will I will take less advertisers then I do now. I see so many blogs with over 30 advertisers and they have one widget and say maybe the site gets 2500 hits total, that isn&#039;t very many views. I think the network ads are good for smaller blogs that do not have advertisers yet and instead of running the CMF logo they advertise other blogs. I am sure that is what the intent was for CMF. I could be wrong, perhaps one of the admins will clarify this a little better for us. It is also a good buy I would imagine to get your blog advertised on so many different blogs that you might not necessarily ever thought of.</description>

		<description>I think the best way to represent yourself and your blog is with unique content, otherwise what are you trying to gain? It&#039;s fine to have guest writers and posts from time to time, like Glenn does here, but copying a snippet from someone else&#039;s article and posting it on your blog every day just doesn&#039;t work. You have to have a voice and an opinion from time to time. At least, that&#039;s my thought. I like CMF. I&#039;m still a bit weary on Network ads on one of my sites, however I will remedy that on my own.</description>

		<description>Jerry, again I am not here to be a ref for either side, as both sides have valid points. But it is their service and the guidelines that have been set are instituted fairly for all sites, regardless of their passages from the Bible or a limerick that has been passed down from site to site.</description>

		<description>I tried to sign up AsTheCrackerheadCrumbles on CMF around the same time it was accepted by Entrecard, but CMF rejected it for not having hardly any original content and too many Bible verses.  Sad.  So very sad.</description>

		<description>For those of you who don&#039;t know Turnip he is one of the original two people who started up CMF.  Ben I believe came in later. Forgive me for not introducing everyone from CMF, I personally have only had dealings with Ben. I believe the other owner is Stan Hayes from Razzball.com

I understand your point of view 100% and being a blogger who tries hard to keep my blog 100% original, I do use other sources like YouTube and others to generate my some of my posts. Being  a newspaper style blog, I believe that in order to keep many of the posts on the front page filled with new and interesting content it is important to hunt for interesting filler posts, until I can afford a whole writing staff, LOL. But my best feedback is always from posts I write from scratch myself. 

To defend Sandee is easy. She is a wonderful, giving and true friend, who like most bloggers are opinionated, after all why would we decide to blog if we did&#039;&#039;t have opinions?  But Sandees blog is unique, not based on the content, but based on the wonderful group of loyal followers she has developed over many years. I don&#039;t think any comedian could possibly be able to day in and day out, come up with funny stories, pictures, videos et.all that are of good quality if they had to rely solely on themselves. 

In every post Sandee will always give the source of where the article comes from, and yes she does occasionally post something new and just from herself.  The uniqueness that is Comedy Plus, is the interaction from not only comments, but I know this as fact, Sandee writes as much original material as any blogger on the net. But it comes in the form of comments she leaves on everyone else&#039;s blog. If you go back through my many posts you will usually find Sandee as the first commenter on almost every post. That is a lot of original content.

To many bloggers, especially this one, her comments are as important to me as any traffic service out there. She always keeps this blogger motivated and that in and of itself is priceless.

While it might not meet certain sites criteria she is FAR from being lazy. So I have to wholeheartedly disagree with you. She does not try to pull the wool over anyones eyes. To be totally honest having Sandee reposting my posts and adding my url on her PR4 blog with many, many followers and also being a dofollow blog, helped me enormously at the beggining of my first blogging attempts. You can&#039;t put a price on that, or would Sandee ever be one to brag about this point. But to many of us who blog and know of Sandee and her blog Comedy Plus, she is to us a very important person and one we are all honored to call friend!!</description>
