Advertletdowns!
Monday, January 07, 2008
I'm on neutral ground as far as the whole blog advertising frenzy in Malaysia is concerned. Granted my blog doesn't make any money anyway lol
HOWEVER, I was pinged earlier this morning regarding our very own Malaysian-bred blog advertising network's massive disaster and couldn't resist a snippet (or two) of colorful commentary.
The big blunder? Advertlets forgot to renew their domain name.
The result? Bloggers with the Advertlets script on their site gave their users free redirects to spammy sites!
Heck, even the good people at TechCrunch covered it: Advertlets Joins The Deadpool, Or Maybe Just Forgets To Renew Their Domain Name
Personally, I find the chaos ironically amusing considering the Advertlets founder (sorry Josh lol) is the same smart ass behind the whoisAdamKing domain snatch stint a few years back.
While criticizing Guinness back then for not securing their domain name as bad marketing practice probably gave him a few brownie points, I'm not sure forgetting to renew his cash cow's domain name counts for any stellar points either :P If anything, damage control with the wicked, wicked pool of unforgiving bloggers is going to be a bitch.
Posting reactions here would be so 2girls1cup-ish... but seriously, don't get trampled by the angry bloggers on the way out?
-20 points, sigh.
