Ad Display System Upgrade In Progress - So Everyone Can Advertise!
We are currently upgrading our ad display system to implement new features, and cope with increased load, especially from international traffic. As of such, some of you might face error messages or certain ads not displaying properly.
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.

Have a good holiday, and cherish your independence & freedom - yours, and of your country. Malaysia’s a great place to be, it may have its quirks, but its home and I won’t rather be predominantly anywhere else but here. PS: Foreigners, you should drop by here sometime for holiday! Food’s great, people are friendly, and we have a good clubbing scene as well!

Take a guess, and I’ll be announcing the numbers soon. We’ll be back tomorrow. Cheers, and Meeerdeekaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Advertlets launches Ad Campaign for Exabytes!
We were approached by Exabytes to do a campaign not long ago, and the results of which launched yesterday. We are proud to support a forward thinking client like Exabytes, as they are active in online advertising and promotions. The client, who previously tried a campaign across a huge network of blogs on a different platform, requested our capability to not just serve ads across multiple blogs, but also to target the advertisements to be displayed to only Malaysian visitors. In addition, we provided demographics data for the client to choose which blogs to advertise on. Since the campaign was targeted at bloggers, we chose to advertise on sites that were frequented mainly by other bloggers. Our demographics data for the blogs included Gender, Age Range, Profession and Whether Blogger Or Not.
