Jialat dot Com In Top 100 Blogs For Advertlets Singapore?
Mar 21, 2008 Blogosphere, Jialat dot Com, Money
Josh said that, not me. But, there are all together how many blogs registered with Advertlets Singapore? This is what I am keen to know. It doesn’t mean anything if the total is maybe 300 over blogs and Jialat dot Com is at 99th, right?
By the way, I would like to thank Josh for his time to pop by and answer my question. I hope Advertlets will be able to pull in more advertisers and give us bloggers more juicy deals. I am looking forward to see how the partnership between Advertlets and clickTRUE can benefit us bloggers.
Check out Josh’s reply to Jialat dot Com HERE.

Questions To Advertlets
Mar 17, 2008 Blogosphere, Jialat dot Com, Money
I believe a blog post will get me faster reply then an email to info@advertlets.com. Yes, I did send an email last Tuesday regarding 1 of my questions below, and no reply yet.
1. One of my readers from China was actually asking if he is eligible to be a member of Advertlets. He has a blog in Chinese. (I did not go and read all the T&C) I am asking on his behalf, so anyone who knows about this can reply, thanks.
2. I understand that there is a terms from Google AdSense which saying that publishers cannot, in any form, encourage their reader to click on the AdSense ads in their site. I am wondering if Advertlets has similar terms also? The reason being, recently I have came across some blogs with Advertlets ads, and having some “encouraging sentences” just on top of the ads. If there is such terms from Advertlets and the bloggers do not know about it, then maybe Advertlets should inform them to correct it.
This is one blog that I came across. The words on top means “Clicking the advertisement helps you lose calories, and earn money”. (I will come back to the “empty content” in Question 3)
This is another one. The sentence means “I tell you to click!”.
3. Recently, very often I see the Advertlets 336 X 280 Banner ad being empty, blank. I notice it in my blog, I notice it in others’ blog also. It is not constant, but frequent. Examples from my blog:
Using FF
Using IE7
I am wondering if there is anything that need to be done at Advertlets server site?
4. Just checking, my CPM dropped drastically since 14th March. For the first 2 days I saw no advertiser ads but Advertlets’ own ads. After that, I only see the Recruit.Net and Free Rice ad, and sometimes Advertlets’ own ads. There is no more new advertisers? From Advertlets homepage, I saw that they have advertisers like Toyota, Digi, Mediaprima, but I hardly see them nowadays.
I just want to sort out some doubts. I will still support Advertlets becuase it did earn me so good money during the Edison Chen scandals period, kekeke. By the way, hope Advertlets can process my check faster though I only cash out early this month.

Got Advertlets, Got FACES
Mar 15, 2008 Blogosphere, Fun, Malaysia, Singapore
Yeah, if you got Advertlets ads, you got faces! Kekeke, joking lah. I am referring to a contest for all Singapore and Malaysia Advertlets bloggers offer by FACES. What is FACES? Seriously I am not very familiar with it. Think I only came across the magazine once or twice one or two years back. But thanks to Advertlets, I get to know more about FACES now. From FACES homepage, I saw that there are sections about music, IT, travel, movies, and ect. I like watching movies, think I have got 1 more sources to get some latest movie reviews now.
So, what is the contest about? You can go HERE to take a look. Basically, register yourself as FACES member if you are not. Then go back to the page, select the freebies that you like, fill your blog’s URL into the entry form. Actually I am getting a bit confused also. Josh said there are 6 contests for us Advertlets bloggers, can choose from any of the 6 freebies, but on that page, it only said the Starbucks freebies are reserved for Advertlets bloggers, not the others. But anyway, I want the Starbucks, so no difference.
So, what is the virtues of Starbucks? To me, it is none other than providing a comfortable venue with relaxed ambience. I have to say that besides selling great coffees, latte, mocha and tasty pastries, it is the environment that keeps the customers there. Imagine in the afternoon, under the burning hot sun, you walk into any Starbucks outlet, order your favourite mocha (and pastry if you want some), just relax on the sofa at one corner, enjoy the aircon and soothing music. You can either read your favourite books (of course you bring your own lah) or surfing Internet, chatting over MSN, or blogging, with your laptop (of course you bring your own laptop there also…, ok PDA, Blackberry, Ipod Touch also can…). What a way to kill your afternoon right?
Then, how Starbucks outlets can improve? If I am not wrong, I think there are already albums under Starbucks’ label sold in Starbucks outlets in America. What I am thinking is relevant to music also, but further than that. I want live music! Starbucks can set up a small stage in some of those more spacious outlets, then invite some live band, or performers to perform. It can be Jazz, or Bosanova, Acapella, or anything nice. Anything that is great for a hot afternoon or romantic evening. Also, Starbucks can even encourage their staffs, who are talented, and willing to share, to perform on stage also. This is a way to build up their self confidence also. In a way, Starbucks is grooming their future leaders, who knows, right?
Yeah, I think I have written a bit too much. So, would you like some FACES or a cup of Starbucks coffee?

My Reply to Advertlets Josh Invitation to KL
Feb 16, 2008 Blogosphere, Malaysia, Singapore
This is regarding the comment Josh left on my this post. I requested Josh to hold a Vantage Point screening in Singapore for Singapore based bloggers, similar to the coming one in KL.
Aiyoh, Josh, if I am able to make it to KL during the Vantage Point screening during that time, I will not be asking you to hold one here in Singapore already. You know, we poor bloggers got no car no transport, want to go to KL from Singapore very troublesome one. At least 4, 5 hours gone, one way, return another 4, 5 hours. It is like, I spend about 10 hours on the road, just to attend a , maybe 2 hours screening, kind of silly right? And it make us look so “Eao Gui”.
Josh, I know you got lobang one, hold one here in Singapore!

Josh, Any Vantage Point Screening for Singapore Based Bloggers?
Feb 16, 2008 Blogosphere, Malaysia, Money, Movie, Singapore
I was so happy when I saw Josh’s post on Advertlets Vantage Point screening for Advertlets bloggers, initially. Then I realized that it is only for Malaysia based bloggers, and I “sian” half.
I have been wanting to watch this movie! So many good actors and actresses inside and I found the story interesting also! Too bad, this screening is only for guys in Malaysia.
Josh, you got any lobang for screening in Singapore? I also want to watch leh!
