Ad Display System Upgrade In Progress – So Everyone Can Advertise!

Josh Lim — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 06:42:22 +0000

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.

The campaign aims to change the perception of beauty in the mind of individuals in today’s society. So basically we are here to tell you – YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL IN YOUR OWN WAYS!

Advertlets launches Ad Campaign for Exabytes!

Josh Lim — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 07:42:19 +0000

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.

We’re proud to say that this feature of geolocation (show to Malaysian visitors only) that we have spent a lot of time developing is unavailable to our direct competition, and will give us a valuable edge in serving more relevant ads in future. Visual-wise, we kept your blog templates in mind, you will also notice that different ads display for the male and female bloggers, where the aestethics of the ads shown on the female bloggers are more feminine in comparision. In short, we have pink (yay!) banners for the girls, and blue banners for the guys!

Blogs & bloggers who are participating in this 1 month distributed campaign include:
