Micro earnings from Advertlets

I almost forgot about Advertlets because I totally pulled out Advertlets … almost anyway.
There are still a couple of minor blogs having only Advertlets on them. This is what I call micro earnings

Advertlets compensation-too little, too late

I have totally dropped Advertlets on my major websites. Advertlets announced the compensation plan for the ‘damages’ bloggers suffered after their blogs were inadvertently hijacked by Advertlets expired domain for about one whole day.
It’s 10%-20% extra on your usual daily earnings for about a month.To me that’s terribly subjective issue as on my peak it […]

Compensation from Advertlets?

Getting your blog hijacked to another page is a serious matter for bloggers earning money from ads. For example, I could not remove Advertlets code from my blogs on Sunday because I was away in Ipoh. For about a day all my blogs that had Advertlets ads were redirecting my readers to a parked page […]

Advertlets Gambit or real problem?

Adverlets seem to have a problem with their domain name. It’s serious as it hijacks your entire website and redirects to a page that looks like a parked domain page. I normally see this when I just bought a domain name but don’t have any content yet.

I’m pretty disappointed as despite the seriousness of this […]

Nuffnang vs Advertlets cheque

I purposely cashed out my Nuffnang and Advertlets income on the same day over a month ago. I just wanted to see which cheque would arrive first.
Looks like Nuffnang is first! My Advertlets cheque of RM 100 have yet to arrive.
Here’s my first ever Nuffnang cheque:-

Advertlets Earnings - 10x drop

Failure after 2 monthsI tried to optimise and place Advertlets into more websites that have more ‘international’ readers but to no avail. One month of trial still results in disappointing earnings. I guess it’s a relative thing. Two months ago I was getting an average of RM 2-3 a day. Last month’s earning is exactly […]

Nuffnang and Advertlets are like Durian Trees

Now that my IQ has raised several notches, let me make some profound statements (sort of what Forest Gump said about the ‘people are like chocolate’ thing).

Update: Advertlets earning down to a trickle

Even though my impressions are around 1000 daily, the income from advertlets is down to a trickle. About 10 cents - 20 cents daily for the last week.
That’s a huge difference when it was hovering between RM 3 - RM 6 daily in the middle of October.Anyone getting the same results? Or am I the […]

Advertlets diminishing returns

I was initially happy with Advertlets CPM program because it was actually earning good money.
Keyword being intially
Last week however showed me that it was too good to last.
Good earnings in the middle of October.

Poor earnings in the last week of October.

The number of impressions was about the same but the total income was […]

Advertlets revenue drop

I was earning less than 20cents a day before October from Advertlets. Then after posting about wanting to drop Advertlets I got an email from Josh Lim telling me the possible reasons I was not making pennies from Advertlets. I took up his advice on repositioning the Advertlets ads in strategic places. I even increased […]

Raya Ang Pow from Advertlets

Got a nice surprise today when I say my Advertlets reach this amount:
On the next refresh, the magic “cash out” button showed up on my dashboard.
It’s certainly nice after several months of low income from Advertlets, things suddenly picked up the last two weeks enough to reach RM100 quickly. All I did was reposition the ads […]

Error on Advertlets ads

Ah I miss the days of seeing screens like this. After all I was a PHP programmer for many years. Spotted this on my Patzer blog.
When I was a programmer I would hate for my customers to spot this before I did because this would mean a reprimand by the project manager and a long […]

Almost doubled earnings in Advertlets

I checked my Advertlets and was surprised to have another jump in total earnings.
This was my total on 21 Sept 2007:-
This is what I saw today (26 Sept 2007) :-
That’s an almost 100% jump. Quite significant as I’ve been displaying Advertlets ads for many months now.
I wish that their stat display included breakdown from my […]

Jump in Advertlets earnings

Just when I was about to drop Advertlets, I see a jump in earnings the last few days. I did mention how poor my Advertlets earnings were in my comparison of Advertlets vs Nuffnang in my chess blog. I got an email from Advertlets CEO himself on the same day telling me that “I get […]
