Advertlets apologised

I received an email apology today from Advertlets. It was sent out to all bloggers that have registered with Advertlets in...Malaysia & Singapore.

According to Advertlets, "a complication in the renewal process caused the Advertlets.com domain to expire, and caused issues for bloggers with our ads installed, which made their blogs redirect to a placeholder page..."

That explains why my blog was redirected to a placeholder page.

At least they apologised fast and mentioned that it was not their intent to do so.
But the damage to my blog and traffic was done and the question now is...should i still continue to work with them?

It is interesting that Nuffnang has just launched Nuffnang Gliteratti for "exclusive Nuffnang blogger".

Which one should i choose? Advertlets or Nuffnang Gliteratti?

Exclusive or not?

Nuffnang has launched Nuffnang Gliteratti for "exclusive Nuffnang blogger" which it stated in its web site as "blogger that has NO advertisements from any other ad network that originates from South East Asia on his/her blog". There are apparent benefits.

Now, to go exclusive or not, that's the question...

With the previous forced redirection of page that has happened to me (read my previous post What is worse than pop up ads?) It should not be a problem for me to decide. It is such a waste, Adverlets pays me a better rate though.

What is your decision?

10,000 reasons to celebrate!

YES! I finally crossed the 10,000 web hits mark for this blog! and i made it before the close of 2007! I thought i have been blogging for a long time but it has only been 6 months.

Thank you to all of you especially my blog buddies and friends who are supporting this blog!

Cheers!

Finally! I signed up for PPP!

Finally! I signed up for PPP and My PayPerPost (PPP) application is approved! Persistence paid off. I was rejected once because my blog was less than 3 months old at that time. I was a bit disappointed at the time as PPP badges were everywhere in the blogsphere except for mine. PPP, by the way, is a marketplace for both Advertiser to get their latest product reviewed and for Blogger to get paid blogging.

During my initial months of blogging, I made many new friends. At the encouragement of my blogger friends, i tried again. I was so delighted when i received an email to say my blog was approved for PPP. It is a sort of coming of age for my blog and i am glad that PPP held such a high standard to preserve the quality of each review post.

You have to be above 18 years old, have a blog of 3 months old with at least 20 posts. Good things are worth waiting for. Once your blog is approved, I can tell you the opportunities offered in PPP is simply the best! Don't worry, you can still adhere to your blog ethics and review only the things that you like. You can search and select the opportunity that suits you and write about it. You will be paid via paypal according to the amount tagged to each review opportunity.

I am going to use my PPP earnings to set up my online store. I know there is still a long way to go before my blog is able to generate some decent passive income but at least I am taking steps to monetize my blog. I believe PPP is one of the best options. You can start taking steps too.

What are you waiting for? Sign up for PPP now?

You will get $20 for your first paid post
