Putting the ‘bling’ in ‘blogging’

Advertlets: Singapore, We Have A Problem (But Its A Good One!)

Right now, 100% of all Singaporean blogs registered with Advertlets who have the 165×240 ad formats are running a CPM campaign! This is a big step for us - being able to serve EVERYONE within our network who have signed up with us for advertising opportunities, and definitely a challenge that we’ve risen up to, compared to the competing providers. We’re pretty excited, and quite sure that you’ll appreciate it too. :)

As you might have noticed, the network wide ad for Singapore (and Japan) is for our client, emusic.com - our advertiser that supports true indie music from artists of the like of Johnny Cash, Bloc Party, Ray Charles, Dashboard Confessional, John Lee Hooker, Miles Davis, Spoon, The New Pornographers and Interpol. Like indie rock? You can support your favourite artists directly though emusic.com - check out what emusic.com is about here, or check out how you can get 25 free music downloads here.

Anyway, here’s the Good Problem : we have more clients interested in advertising on the Singaporean network, however - we’ve close to sold out most of our inventory!

As of such…we need your help to make the network even bigger, through installing more ad formats. Most of our Singaporean Bloggers have the 165×240 Sidebar ad installed, but not all have the 336×280 Rectangle ad format.

Just a placement tip: The 336×280 Rectangle ad format works best if placed in between blog posts on your main blog, or at the comments section at the end of an individual post. If you have international traffic (besides Malaysia & Singapore), you may also want to consider installing the 468×60 format.

Very Limited Time Sponsored Post Opportunity For Singaporeans (Be Kiasu And Hurry!)

The first 100 Singaporean bloggers who write a post to encourage people to sign up with Advertlets (if they haven’t already) and install the 336×280 ad format, will get SGD15 each.

Terms: As long as you are a registered Singaporean member of Advertlets, and have above 20 unique visitors a day, you qualify for this sponsored post opportunity. Make sure the posting is at least 100 words long and includes a link to www.advertlets.com, as well as at least one image (eg, the Advertlets logo, or you might want to show the Get Code screenshot to instruct readers on how to install the ad format). When you’re done, leave a comment on this post so we can approve your posting and credit your account.

Mini Contest: The 5 best posts out of this 100 will get the special amount of SGD50 instead of SGD15 :)

Update: Thanks for the good response, although its over the weekend! Oh, and its good to share: you may also want to tell your friends that they can take part in the posting opportunity, direct them to this post. Cheers.

Scheduled Upgrade Complete

The upgrade is now fully complete, starting from 9PM yesterday, and thankfully we didn’t have more than 30 minutes of downtime. Its 2:43AM! Our tech team just came back from the datacentre an hour and a half ago, and now, double-checking from home, we’re happy to say that all Advertlets functions are back online. You should be feeling that ads load much faster now, as well as your Advertlets account login and this website. Let us know if you face any issues, cheers!

Scheduled Downtime Tonight For Server Upgrade

We will be undergoing a major upgrade to our servers tonight, due to increased international traffic and a sharp increase in the number of blogger signups. As of such, during the period of 9PM-10PM tonight, you may face some downtime/errors in ad serving and this website. After that, Advertlets should be faster than ever before. Please let us know if you face any issues after this time period. Cheers! :)
