Exclusive membership status granted

I was browsing through Nuffnang to check on my account details while I was having a corporate meeting at sunway hotel earlier this morning. And I'm please to anounce that I've been granted exclusive membership for Nuffnang Gliterati, which simply means I have the privilage to higher payout of atleast 20% to 50% for ads payout. Since there was a long break time in between my meeting, i decided to make a printscreen of my nuffnang dashboard to show you my upgraded membership status.

A preview of my dashboard, with my membership status upgraded.

Though I've been granted the execlusive membership, the negative side is that I've not been getting any advertisement campaign running for the past 1 week. I wonder whats happening, could anyone enlighten me on this issue?

So have any of you been granted execlusive membership recently? Please post your comment...

Nuffnang Glitterati to take on Advertlets

Just 2 days ago, Advetlets.com a South East Asia Ad Network was experiencing a major technical glitch which causes havoc to many blogger that uses its service. As a result many blogger begun to condemn advertlets with negative remarks on their blogs and planned to boycott it.

2 day after the problem, and Advertlets has finally have their system restored, Nuffnang made a suprise announcement by launching Nuffnang Glitterati. Glitterati is an Exclusive club for Nuffnangers that meets its minimum requirement.

So Whats so Great about Glitterati ?

It's a club which reward nuffnangers for being loyal with at least 20-50% Higher than current blog income, Minimum RM 0.25 per click(compared with RM0.15 currently), 30 days payment processing(compared to 60 days currently), advertorial opportunity and many other great benefit.

SO whats the requirement ?

Bloggers must not have any advertisements from any Ad Network which originate from South East Asia. To be specific, Advertlets.com will be one of it. So to make things simple, if you wanna join Glitterati, you've got to remove advertlets completely.

So how can you join?

Well, you cant actually sign up for it, as nuffnang crawler will automatically include your blog in the club within 48 hours upon meeting the minimum requirement.

So whats your say? do share your views with me....

Advertlets formal apology

After being down for 2 days plus, Advertlets.com is finally back to business. Yes Yes Yes, they finally manage to pull it through and thank god they did, else I would have lose my earning with them. Anyway, Josh Lim has written a formal apology to all its user/bloggers, you may read it by Clicking Here.

I understand that the issue has causes mush hassle to all bloggers including myself. As my traffic has just pick up over the last few days, the last thing I would want, is to have a technical glitch that would redirect my traffic. Anyway the man has admitted his mistake, and apologised for it. Whehter to forgive and forget, and whether to give him and advetlets another chance is entirely up to your personal preference.

As for me, I would wait for the announcement of the compensations term as stated in advertlets/Josh Lim's apology. The announcement is scheduled to be made on monday. So that compensation term better be good and rewarding for us blogger to continue using your service.

Is Advertlets.com permanently down?

Dear Readers,

Please be inform that there was a slight technical glitch just now, and thus you might not be able to access my blog earlier today. Everyone who tries to access my blog was automatically diverted to http://www.adbaaz.com/?dn=www.advertlets.com&flrdr=yes&nxte=js.

After running some check, the culprit of the problem seems to be advertlets.com advertising script on my blog. Though Josh, the founder and owner of advertlets.com is my friend, I was force subsequently remove those script from my blog, so that my reader can access it. Josh, you got to buck up or else people will start migrating to nuffnang. Th removal will only be temporary, I shall put it back once advertlets system has been fixed.

Note to Josh Lim, Please please please get the problem fixed asap and also take note that I've not receive my payment despite requesting for it 2 months back. The last I check, the payment status was still pending. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Josh for being featured on The Star today.

Welcome to 2008. Are you prepare for it?

Dear Friends,

Welcome to 2008. So have you listed down your new year resolutions?

I'm always sceptical about new year resolution as I believe that, if we really want to do something in life, we don't have to wait until a new year to do it. Because, if that's the case, then we will be wasting lots of time waiting for new year to come by just to get things done. So if you really got something you think, sense and feel that it should be done, go ahead and do it, cause time and tide wait for no man.

For the ethnic Chinese who are generally superstitious, the number 8 (found in 2008) is believe to be a prosperous year, thus many Chinese businessman believe that good fortune is install for the year. Even the most prominent sporting event, Olympic 2008 which will be held in China is schedule to be officiated on the 8th of August 2008 (08.08.08) at 08.08pm. So is China gonna win 8 gold medal, 8 silver medal and 8 bronze medal?

Putting the superstitious stuff aside, just as we were about to step into the new year just few days ago, economic analysis around the world have been warning people to be take extra precaution as the year 2008 will be as bad as the 2007 roller coaster ride if not worse. Preliminary because because of the growing sub-prime issue in the United State, in which many top economic has raise concern that the world largest economic power house might slip into a recession which will in turn lead to a domino effect to the global economy.

Whether the United State is gonna slip into a recession, or if the world economies will be affected, life has to go on. So the golden question will be, are you prepared for 2008? If you are, I would like to congratulate you. If you are not, better start preparing for it. As the saying goes, Prevention is always better than cure. So start saving lots of money and avoid all risky investment, especially if you are not informed about those investment.

Before i sign off, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year, may the year 2008 bring you, good health, fortune, friendship and happyness(its not spelling error nor typo error, just did it on purpose).

Warmest Regards,

Charlie Chia
