Advertlets Will Be Down for Emergency Maintenance This Saturday 9PM

2008-10-10T11:12:00.000-07:00

Advertlets will be performing emergency maintenance this Saturday (11/10/08) from 9PM onwards to pre-emptively replace a hard disk that is on the verge of a crash. While the maintenance may take a few hours, this is a necessary step to ensure data integrity for items such as your personal details & earnings as well as to ensure that loading speed of ads is optimal in future.

Your blog will load as usual during that period, however, during the maintenance period default ads may be shown or the ads may not display. Also, during that period you may not be able to login to Advertlets.com or access the site. We expect that maintenance will be complete by midnight to 2AM on Sunday (12/10/2008), and there should be no loss of data as we will be replacing the hard disk before it crashes, and making backups just in case. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

Wow. That's all we can say. We think its great that we're on the Technorati Top 15 as of now. But we're pretty suprised as to a significant number of posts mispelled Adverlets...is the T that easy to miss? Personally during the rare occasions when I mistype, it's usually Advertets, and I miss the L, not the T. Hmm. Ohwell...

Advertlets and Mispellings

2007-03-18T23:16:00.000-07:00

The name for Advertlets, the asian blog advertising network is the combination of two words - Advertisements (adverts) and the "lets" suffix which denotes "smaller" or more compact - (like applets, couplets, piglets, etc). Which makes sense, considering we specialize in unintrusive (no need to be big!), intelligent advertisements.

Sometimes, people mispell Advertlets as: advertlest, adverlest, adverlets, advertles, advertlet, adverlet, or aardvark.

Google asks whether you mean "advert let's" when you search for "Advertlets". Hence, it's kind of cool. Yes, let's Advertise :)

Advertlets - Asia's Better Blog Advertising Network

2007-03-05T11:08:00.000-08:00

Advertisers make their message count.
Bloggers make money doing what they love.
It all makes sense on Advertlets.com
Asia's Better Blog Advertising Network

Advertlets™ is an Asian blog/weblog advertising network that offers the remarkably sensible proposition of targeted, unintrusive advertising that benefits the online advertising and blogger community, as well as their readers.

Bloggers get better advertising that is relevant to their readers, and advertisers make their advertising dollars and their message count.

Through a system that allows the collection of real-time demographics, and even allows the bloggers to make their own custom polls, we are different from anything out there, at least until our competitors start copying us.

And for site visitors: Web 2.0 convenience ensures that visitors don't have to leave the blog currently viewed to take any poll. Our blog widget allows for multiple polls questions within a limited space - no long load times or reloading needed.

And with functions to rotate the ads being shown (ever saw an ad you wanted to click, but it refreshed and disappeared before you could click it?) , as well as the ability to voice opinions on ads (tell the advertiser what you like - and what you don't), users have control over their online blog advertising experience that wasn't possible before.

Did we mention, the system looks really good too? If you like our logo, you'll love our system. All will be revealed very soon.
