Maybe not many of you know of ProBlogger, or Darren Rowse. If you are not into blogging for money kind of stuffs, probably you won’t visit his blog. I subscript to his feed and have to say that he gave very useful information, sharing on blogging.

Just get to know from his blog that his wife just gave birth to their 2nd kid, a baby boy. What a wonderful gift to Darren on this Father’s Day! Congratulation and happy Father’s Day!

It’s a Boy!

Advertlets members, do you know if you are Titan members?

Apr 10, 2008 Blogosphere, Jialat dot Com

Just want to check, for Advertlets members, do you know if you are in the exclusive Advertlets Titan group? Due to some issues, I want to check my status (I never apply for it before). But when I logged into my Advertlets account, I found no indication there telling me if I am in the exclusive group.

Can someone tell me if there is way to check in Advertlets site? Thanks all.

I Wonder Where is Nuffnang’s innit Heading to? Is It Your Loss to Be Out?

Jan 23, 2008 Blogosphere, Jialat dot Com, Money

When I decided that I still want ads from other SEA ads company on this blog, it meant I would be out of the Nuffnang Exclusive club and the usage of it’s innit service.

Actually, initially, I was rather sad, or felt that it was really pity, because I thought init could be a rather good tool to bring in traffic, since Jialat dot Com is so new. Since the day that I was out, which was 13rd Jan (or was I ever IN the club? I wonder, keke), I visit innit once or twice a daily, to see if there is anything good, funny, useful, to read.

However, today, I totally feel that, it is not a loss to me. First of all, the traffic there is actually not very great, not as great as ping.sg, or tomorrow.sg. I compare the traffic that I ever gotten from innit, to those I gotten from ping.sg or tomorrow.sg, or even those organic traffics from search engines in recent days, it is really peanut (not the 600k Sing dollars one of cause lah). And I found that, since the activation of the exclusive club, I guess many are kept out of the club, and hence it seems that the traffic there drops a lots. Many times, I saw the most popular post on the chart, the number 1, was with just 20 over clicks, or less. Ok, 20 over clicks is still traffic, but it really seems pathetic to me.

Another thing that I am not so happy with innit, since day one, is the fact that we the bloggers need to actually “add post” manually, instead of, like what ping.sg is doing, auto-update with maybe 1 click on the button. I have to admit that I am not so familiar with innit, maybe I was wrong and there is this function there. Can anyone enlighten me? This is really troublesome. Every time I got a new article, I have to go there, add new post, copy and paste, copy and paste, and copy and paste a few times, to get it done. What if I got a few articles in a day? I got to do it as many times! What’s worst is, some people just abuse the service. Unlike ping.sg which is by tracking the blog’s feed, and what’s updated will always be the latest (I think we can still play with it by changing our post’s timestamp, am I right?), innit this pure manual system gives users a loophole. I encountered before that, once I saw a thread title which was rather interesting, and I clicked on it. Upon entering the blog, then I realized that it was actually a post that was few months old. The users can anyhow manually add any post, regardless of the timestamp.

The last thing, which I feel most uncomfortable now, is that it seems like it is becoming a Nuffnang fans club or worshiping site, instead of blog networking. Every time I visit there, for sure I would see some Nuffnang-praising articles there. There are always a few such articles among the top 10 posts also. And I heard, there is administrator and if your article was of something bad about Nuffnang, it would be removed. It means you will only see those articles about the founder’s attending certain national TV programmes, about those activities sponsored by the company, about their gathering, about how much they earned from the company, and how proud they are to be in the club. How about those unhappy stuffs? Those negative issues? I doubt people there will get to see those. It makes me uncomfortable because the way it is run now, is so so so similar to some churches or MLM companies. You were in the circle or the group, and you only hear cheers, praise, compliments, positive stuffs about the circle or group. And you are somehow being “told” into believing that it is really good stuff and worth waiting, even though you are making nothing now.

I am glad that I am out. And thanks for giving me such opportunity, to milk every drop out from Advertlets, kekekeke.

So Someone Were Faking as Nuffnang People and Gave Comment on Behalf of Nuffnang?

Jan 14, 2008 Blogosphere, Fun, Gossips

I saw this article from this themediaslut’s post, which was triggered by Bobo’s this post.

What interested me is the comment given by Timothy Thiah, as following:

Dear Mediaslut,

You said it yourself

“Furthermore, Nuffnang signed off the comments as Nuffnang.

Nuffnang is the name of a company, or a brand.

Mr Snuffleupagus is a name.

When commenting, especially in dealing in such a crisis, the receiver wants to be talking to a human. This gives it a personal touch to the reply.”

Whenever Nuffnang responds to any comments online, if you notice… it is always responded under a name, either Ming, Timothy, Samantha etc etc.

You can check all the comments for the past 11 months that we’ve been around.. we have NEVER once responded with the name as NUFFNANG.

That comment is not from anyone FROM Nuffnang and I have already informed Brainy Bimbo of that.

We’ve been responding to blogger comments like this for the past year… if you would notice, the arrogance in this comment is NOT our style.

-Timothy Tiah of Nuffnang

So, someone was actually faking as nuffnang staff, personnel, and going around giving comments on their behalf? So what will nuffnang do to counter this? Will they take actions against the counterfeiters?

I Opted OUT, of Gliteratti, and You?

Jan 13, 2008 Blogosphere, Gossips, Money

Today is the day, if I remember correctly.

And, my conclusion is, basically no damage to me even if I am not in the club.

No, I am not a fanboy of advetlets, not before, even not after their saga. It’s just that, since day 1, my earning from nuffnang has been pathetic. Those from advertlets is not fantastic, but at least I saw something moving. It just does not justify the result if I were to take away other ads and keep only nuffnang, just to be in the club, with no guaranteed ad nor any promise. Yes, I know that, most likely is because the style of my other blog is not suitable for the ads, the advertiser, or not good enough, sucks. Since I am not going to change my style, so I change the ads networks.

Yes, I am out. And from today onwards, I cannot use the innit already. Fortunately, I still have ping.sg. And maybe I should register this blog with Blog2U.sg also. I am not any big time blogger who always got ads from nuffnang and can earn 4 digits amount from them. So I can only look for all this ikan bilis. I really do not mind having thousands of ikan bilis……
