Stay tuned – we have even more exciting news coming your way for ALL sorts of different bloggers!

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.

Here’s what’s interesting: The main point of this upgrade is the new “daily limits” system, that will enable advertisers to distribute their budget across a period of time. So, even if you’re an advertiser with a small budget of RM500 / USD149, you can run a cost per click campaign that distributes your budget across a month, for instance. Your ad will be run rotated with other ads, targeted by geolocation and demographics.

Just like how we aim to enable all bloggers to make some money through blogging, now we aim to let advertisers of all budgets advertise on Advertlets. This is a very important step in our development as a blog advertising network, and we will appreciate your help to squash bugs while we are still in beta. Very soon, you will see a lot more advertisers as more people take advantage of this new feature for our valued advertisers…and ultimately, more advertisers means more money+happy for more bloggers.

We need your help though, to make this happen: If you find any bugs or error messages, do e-mail us with a screenshot to info@advertlets.com. Your valuable assistance is much appreciated while we upgrade our system to serve you better.

When the system attempts to automatically format the code, it will add extra formatting tags (like extra spaces or line breaks), and cause errors with the code. Please use the “Edit HTML” mode when pasting in your Advertlets code, or else it will not work properly. Refer to the diagram below for more details:

Also, when you input your blog URL into the Advertlets Blog Manager or when you sign up, please omit the “www” if it is a subdomain already. For example, if your site is http://example.blogspot.com, please put in http://example.blogspot.com, not http://www.example.blogspot.com

Thanks, and we hope that this clears things up for our Blogger.com/Blogspot.com Users!!

Just so you know, demographic poll submissions are not compulsory, but help us match you better with advertisers based on the audience of your blog. You can read more here on the Advertlets Support KnowledgeBase – Blog Demographics & Statistics

2. Please use the Advertlets Support system – we will be able to respond to you much faster than through conventional e-mail. The KnowledgeBase will help you with the most frequently asked questions.

Just 3 more to go! So, do wait for 24th May 2007, 9:30PM to see a whole lot of changes on Advertlets.com – and a whole new set of benefits & features for advertisers and bloggers. (Yes, and new paying ads too).

PS: To those who have cashed out already, you can expect your cheques in your mailbox very soon!

From our talks with advertisers and bloggers so far, we understand that advertisers want their ads to be noticed (resulting in better clicks), and bloggers want a good reason to put their Advertlets code in a prominent position on their blog. We’ve come up with a solution that we think is fair to all – bloggers who put their sidebar ads higher, will get paid more! We know that your blog design is very personal, and the sidebar is a very visible part of your blog, so we hope this is a good incentive to you. Help us deliver value to our advertisers, and we’ll reward you too

This will be based on an semi-automated system (we will also manually check and adjust if needed) that measures the distance between the top of the page to the sidebar advertisement placing. Please note that this will be sector/range based (eg, there will be no noticable difference putting your sidebar ad 100 pixels from the top of the page or 200 pixels from the top of the page).

For optimum earnings, we recommend that your sidebar ad is visible upon your blog first loading, without having to scroll, at a 1024 x 768 resolution on standard Internet Explorer/Mozilla Firefox web browser and toolbar arrangements.

In summary:

1. Advertlets will launch new, non-traffic sensitive ad formats beneficial for low traffic bloggers.
2. Your earnings will not just depend on your blog traffic, but the establishment level of your blog (Advertlets Premium Factors)
3. All Eligible Malaysian Advertlets Members with the Advertlets Code installed in their blogs, will get ads!
4. The Advertlets Support System will be launched!
5. The higher you put your Advertlets sidebar ads, the higher you will be paid!
6-10. (To be revealed)
