What is Advertlets?
On Advertlets webpage and portal, this is what the company claims to be:
“Advertlets.com is an Asian blog/weblog advertising network that offers the remarkably sensible proposition of targeted, unintrusive advertising that benefits the online advertising and blogger community, as well as their readers… Advertisers make their message count. Bloggers make more money doing what they love. It all makes sense at Advertlets.com – Asia’s Better Blog Advertising Network.”
From my personal observations, Advertlets is a company with significant presence in Malaysia and Singapore. Their main competitor appears to be Nuffnang, another Malaysia-based online advertising network. Both advertising networks have a substantial blogger base in the two countries. The business model is basically to attract advertisers who are willing to pay for exposure on regional Internet blogs, and to attract bloggers who would like to earn a side-income while blogging.
Is Advertlets Reliable?
But why should I avoid Advertlets? Well, the reasons are pretty well-documented over in Wayang Times:
Advertlets is a Scam Advertising Network? Advertlets Not Paying? I Hate You Advertlets?!
Advertlets Payment Made in 24 Hours! Advertlets is Not a Scam for Wayang Times!
When Advertlets Owe Money, Will They Ever Pay Money on Time?
Did Advertlets Lie to Me about Paying Me My Previous Months’ Earnings?
Given that there are quite a number of bloggers such as Wayang Times who are not getting paid on time, and often with significant delays, I would recommend that bloggers avoid Advertlets till they prove themselves.
As for Advertlets, perhaps the company should consider publishing their Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) or Service Level Agreements (SLAs), specifically with regards to their ability to pay to let the public judge for themselves.
Or at the very least, answer your emails.
