"Love is an exploding cigar we willingly smoke." - Lynda Barry

***

Advertlets seems to have committed one of the cardinal sins of e-businesses - forgetting to renew their domain name. It now seems to be held by a cybersquatter.

As such, sites with Advertlets ads are now redirecting to "www.adbaaz.com" (very cunning, this cybersquatter); I have disabled mine (and I haven't gotten any payout before either, damn!)

Let's hope they solve this problem soon, one way or another. Since I doubt they'll be willing to pay an exorbitant rate to get the domain back, they'll be faced with the (possibly) unenviable task of setting up a new domain and asking everyone to change their ad code.

Malaysia Boleh!

(Thanks for The Fell Bat for alerting me to this problem)


Addendum:

"The domain issue is currently being resolved, and advertlets.com should be online shortly.
