please be fast.. how on earth they so unprofessional..

LOL! This is so stupid... I wanted to check my earnings and when I go to its website, gone...

My blog also down due to this. Forgot where else I put the ad codes... I thought I already removed them all... Hmm...

Many are going to kpkb about this incident. How the **** did they forget to renew? Their professionalism is VERY questionable?

I think I'll go fully nuffnang and see what happens...

dash, help me on this one.

you mean that those blogs with the JS wouldn't even load because of this?

sorry, i'm on my mac and the file with the Advertlet codes are on the other machine. my site currently no Advertlets ad atm so i donno what's the effect.

AFAIK they just call a JS file or something, thus it should be leading to something not loading only. not sure.

so care to explain? really site cannot load because of that failed ad loader? (yeah, really. in my years of using the Internet I've not encountered such thing. so educate me please)

No wonder blogs with Advertlets became like this.
I can hardly read their posts. Lol.

Lucky I've removed Advertlets since a month ago. XD

goldfries..pages with the JS(javascript) gets redirected to some site..somehow..im not too sure why this happens..should it just load some error msg or something when the domain expires?why redirect the whole page cos of 1 lil script?

It loads... but when it detected the codes (which I'm sure I've already removed ), it will be redirected to a URL like this http://www.adbaaz.com/?dn=www.advertlets.c...b0MPf72QvKEM171

I'm in a daze myself. Peaz has warned me before of Blog Rush that if their server is down, he suspected that it will take down the server where my blog is hosted too. He asked me to be careful. But I didn't expect this could happen to an ad as well.

When it is redirected, another pop up ad will appear alongside.

Hm, I think it's hard for Advertlets to fight with Nuffnang already.

lol, thanks smallstripes... just found out I removed the wrong thing. haha.. that's what you get when you have a drag n drop interface (Serendipity) and you're lazy to put title on each module.

Yay! Back up!

Goodbye Advertlets! Once is enuf already!

it won't take down the server la but based on posts so far, it seems that it redirects the SITE itself to some other page which is what i find (based on my understanding) quite puzzling.

now that i'm back on my main machine, i tested (with my local / development server) - yeah it seems to redirect traffic.

this is the code that i used



if using this, it will redirect.



AND



changing the www part to localhost or www.goldfries.com and the entire page works as it is just that JS did not load, which is what I expected to happen if the browser is unable to locate a JS file.

man, i can't imagine those who use it get forwarded to odd pages, everyone thinks their page is down. those without knowledge won't know what hit them.

it's the first time i see an UNFOUND JS forward the browser to an entirely new page instead of just aborting the JS loading.

i also did a hunt for the "http://www.advertlets.com/_/js/advertlets.js" - it's not found. you can try it on GETRIGHT or whatever stuff you have, it's NOT FOUND. however place it on the browser and it gets forwarded to the adbaaz or whatever.

perhaps there's a HTACCESS or whatever that sets whatever is loaded to override the page loading. hrmm........... *investigates further*

Added on January 5, 2008, 8:35 pmOk, here's what i found out.

Adbazz loads the following javascript.

REMEMBER : Advertlets' JS loads some HTML page in your AD box, that's why when Advertlets server was down you'll see the default TIME OUT page of your browser.

so, now this time it doesn't TIME OUT but it loads THAT particular page.

and that page contains the following javascript. yup, based on see and understand - the JS WILL override your page loading and loads the instructed page instead.
