Nuffnang don’t like that leh.
I received my first set of ads last week from Nuffnang. They’re scheduled to run today… and I should be excited, but something kinda killed it. Brutally. Their website was down for more than 6 hours just now. From 1 am, until now… 7:21 am. Yes, I didn’t sleep. =.= No, not because of this.
Anyway, their website being down and all should be none of my business, as long as I get my ka-ching, BUT, it made my entire blog unable to load because their banner was in my header code (which loads first), which means that if it can’t get “called”, nothing else can appear. Which inevitably makes it my business.
Hai, anyway, the reason you can even see this post is because I’ve removed the leaderboard ad for now. I hope it wasn’t a maintenance thing, because I didn’t get any notification at all. Which, I infer, means that their site just crashed.
Hope they do something about their site stability… I don’t want my site becoming a blank page because of their server issues man. That’s terribly unprofessional and… honestly, quite annoying.
If they want us to have the codes on our site, then they should realise making sure the codes actually work and don’t screw up the entire site is kinda crucial.
The hours that it was down was in the wee hours of the morning in Singapore, but the Internet isn’t our local kopitiam. It’s kind of the world wide web.
I’m disappointed.
edit #1: It’s 7:35 am and Nuffnang is up. Still. Well, on the bright side, it is up.
edit #2: 8:19 am. It’s down. Not again. How many times am I going to have to edit my header.php and upload it? What about people who have other advertisers on their blog? Got compensation for loss of revenue? No… cos it’s in their disclaimer. Ha ha.
edit #3: 8:30 am. I’m going to have breakfast. Meh. This is ridiculous.

Didn’t know that it was your first ad, have the impression that you have been getting countless ads and cashed out already. Nuffnang is being very unprofessional, and this isn’t the first time which has happened. When I couldn’t post to Innit, they gave me a reply which said that this is a technical glitch, that I have to keep on submitting and hope it works. Hardly a satisfactory answer.

Well something like that happened with Advertlets..Most of our blogs get redirected to some other page. I had to edit the php files too. Anyway are you signed up with their Glitterati Program? Would like to know how good is their “improved chances” of getting ads. Ah well..I left them about 10 dollars and threw in the towel with NN.

I hope that it won’t happen to blog2u.sg as they expanding much bigger than both advertlets and nn combined now! Setting up offices in many asia countries! This one must watch out as it is really turning into asia not leading or first but may turn out to be largest one.
I like their silences working on making it happen than like the 2 kids fighting everyday.
Like you ignorantsoup, I have long given up on nn also. Talk a lot but no deliverables.

Haha, am the least surprise. Nuffnang NEVER admit their mistake whenever they made one. But when time comes for them to claim accolades, you can bet for sure, with your entire family’s fortune on them being the first on the line with open arms trying to grab all that they can grab.
Remember few months ago, Advertlets did a boo boo when they did not remember to renew their domain? Well they were gentleman enough to not only admit its their fault but also compensated those affected. You want Nuffnang to compensate you, forget it lar. They are reserving their moolah for events only. They are not professional enough.
