Wired story with nice graphics by Build.
I signed up with Advertlets when they first launched, but never quite served out their ads here. After logging in again, I think I know why I never used them.
- The choice of ad sizes from them is limited to about five.
- You don’t have the option of showing text ads.
- The smallest ad size is 165 pixels in width – 120 pixels would be a good ’small size’.
- There’s no option to serve text ads.
- You can’t really customise the colours of the ad frame – it would be nice to be able to select the border colours, logo colour, etc.
- And yeah, there’s no option of text ads.
( An actual ad served by Advertlets.com )
Honestly, I actually think Advertlets is a good product. Bloggers and self-publishers in Asia can serve targeted ads and earn some cash, while their readers get to see relevant ads for Asia-oriented products & services.
I am sure they will tweak their offerings as they grow, but until I can choose text ads and be able to customise their appearance, I’ll stick to Adsense.

I’ve started re-working the site, though I may re-do everything at the last minute. I am migrating to the free and extensible Wordpress finally, after many aborted attempts.
The old stuff (2002-2006) will stay archived, warts and all. So, if your bookmarks are still pointing to the old random notes, please update them to point here. (The RSS feed will redirect automagically once I am done with the site.)
Please stay tuned, as we continue dressing up.
