Remove your Advertlets ads

05 Jan

Posted under This blog

Well well well - looks like someone in advertlets forgot to do something really, really important - that is to renew their domain name which expired on 4th Jan 2008. Now if your blog is running their ads, visitors will be redirected to another domain which contained only ads.

Hmmmm I’m still waiting for my cheque which they haven’t sent since Oct 2007 (they claimed I was involved in a click-fraud scheme, for which I denied). Anyway, hopefully they can fix this fiasco as I believe this affects hundreds of Malaysian blogs.

ok people, the domain has been fixed however, not all can see the domain as the natural behaviour of DNS, it would take up to 48 hours for everyone to see it.. u can check the updates on this temporary page http://advertlets.blogspot.com/
