OMG!!!! Is this THE END FOR ADVERTLETS!?
Apparently ADVERTLETS FORGOT TO RENEW THEIR DOMAIN, which expired on the 3rd of January this year. And how do I know this? Well, I first noticed something wrong when my blog kept redirecting to this website that looked like one of those pop-up advertising ones that normally I would have just thought it was another adware attack. But the strangest thing was every single blog that I visited with an advertlet ad in it all redirected to that fishy website. Not only that, I tried visiting their site and it redirects back to that same fishy site!
Does this spell the final end of Advertlets? Of course not. It's just a domain what. I don't expect their whole company to fall overnight. But this must had been some serious mistake and a very huge dent on their image, considering that it's not only AFFECTING THEM, but also THOSE WITH THEIR ADS IN THEIR BLOGS. Yes, and it has already affected my traffic a bit as I'm sure, all my visitors being redirected to some fishy advert site would surely have made them reconsider visiting again. As such, I have of now removed all my advertlets ads in this blog, even though I still have 90 something over with them.
But seriously, I'm really starting to lose faith in them. First they keep pointing delaying payment, then they deny you payment because of click frauds that was reported like months later, and then they cut your earnings, giving you 0.01 cents. And now, they forget to renew their domain, causing me countless problems visiting other blogs, including mine with THEIR ADVERTISEMENTS. Seriously, does anyone still have faith with them? Maybe those with big traffic earning quite a lot of money from them. But for us small blogs, I think most should be reconsidering some other forms of advertisements.
Oh, and please tell me this is not a spyware attack on my computer only and is really true. Because I'm really, really FED UP right now...unless of course you want to cheer me up by subscribing to the Chung Ling Feed, or maybe for some reviews of your own?

hey!yeah, adverlets is really getting worser by the day. I'm not really sure whether I even plan to put advertlets back up even after they've fixed their problem. I mean, the next thing I know, when I get reach my first RM100, they might refuse to pay me saying that some clicks are fraud -_- Yours is close to a 100 bucks..lol, you should probably just get your 100 bucks and then stop using advertlets.hahaha
They have been threatening bloggers with legal lawsuits for nothing..and now..they can't pay for something worth $10!
So...are you pulling out?
