new to blogging, noticed that most of the time i get a nuffnang placeholder only?

well, i've had over 40 uniques for two days and still placeholder

darn, that placeholder cacat looking, makes me look despo for add... i dun really expect to earn much, but having a few advert widget looks so pro

i only registered yesterday and so far the only thing i see on and off is the nescafe thinggy, which to be honest is somewhat underwhelming...

at least afdvertlet gives me something to display constantly...

but google adds look kinda err... dun want a colgate add on my blog i thought the nescafe was bad enough...

didn't think that much about making $$, just wanted to fit in with the 'big boys' really, but this warrants a rethink

when i was putting everything together i kinda pictured the right part of the screen to have some revolving add widgets to accompany the must have playasia link (up to 12% commission oooh)
perhaps i'd cook up some 'fake' adds and stick them there instead
problem is the blogspot slideshow resizes to 150x150 max init, and add widgets are often taller

well, almost eeryone here has some sorta advert in their blog

on a more serious note, i like revolving adds as they make the page seem err... less static...

does adsense really make you ppl any money?

tell me about it
trying to get three columns was a real pain for a buta-html person like me

and for that you desecrate your little piece of internet real estate with a colgate advert

aren't there more specific adds, for instance mine's about gundams, figurines and other geeky otaku stuff, so adverts like playasia fits right in...
nescafe and toothpaste potong stim ler.

i am new to blogging and such but i am beginning to think that nuff nang isn't great if you do not generate much traffic. Mine's a hobby site, and as such i do not update it all that frequently, depending on how many models i actually complete. Traffic's slow but steady, around the 30 - 40 uniques a day but more often than not i only get a placeholder.
advertlets might have its share of problems, but at least i DO get an add. Like i've mentioned b4, i sorta factored the adds in when setting up the layout, and a placeholder SUCKS.

so although it is not 100% their fault, I've taken down the nuff nang add, will replace it with some custom made banners for local charities i feel passionate about instead. I do think btw that if either of the nuff nang and advertlet bosses are reading this, they should consider having 'charity' banners instead of placeholders.

also, the 200x200 adsense box has earned me more in one day than those two banners combined

that's the thing init. nuff nang caters for high traffic blogs. can't really blame them, i personally don't think they have enough advertisers nor revenue to share around, but a little more effort instead of the placeholder will be much appreciated. Plenty of causes to champion in Malaysia, no?

yes, he is famous. very. he gathers gunpla news from all around!

swiss verein?

I've decided to remove ALL adds on my page in hope of getting it to load faster - i have had no luck at all with the 'read more tags'
