Advertlets: Gearing up for some big things tonight…

Happy Valentine’s Day! We hope most of you have plans tonight. Anyway, yesterday we asked 3 questions to our bloggers, as part of a mini-contest. Tonight the first 8 who got the answers correct will win, and some big things will be announced.

The answers to those 3 questions will be revealed tonight, together with some big announcements. This will definitely be exciting news for all Advertlets publishers, and represents a very significant development in the future of Advertlets in the Asian blog advertising market.

Also: A few of you have expressed concerns regarding increased loading time of Advertlets ads as of late. The short answer is that we’re serving more ads, and hence, need to upgrade our capacity further.

Some of our users might already be aware that Advertlets is currently advertising in a few other countries other than Malaysia & Singapore. Most of the countries are in the Asian region. (Yes, you’re earning from international traffic now, more details soon!)

However, for some strange, strange, reason, a lot of people are searching for “Hong Kong celebrities” these few days. There has been a ridiculous spike in traffic from visitors from the Asian blogosphere, for a reason that we did not forsee (and one that Edison Chen knows very well…).

While increased traffic is cool, it does puts a significant bandwidth load on our servers, and we are taking steps to accelerate our planned upgrades. As of last week we upgraded our bandwidth for Singapore, and it looks like we will have to make more bandwidth upgrades for Asian traffic sooner than we thought.

Ad loading time will be improved over this weekend as we modify our database structure and make upgrades. Stay tuned later tonight for a few big announcements. Or you could always check us out after you come back from your date tonight. Love ya!
