I (Wong Tech Jung) am a Chinese blogger. In October last year, I decided to use Advertlets over Nuffnang. This decision is due to the amount of Nuffnang and earning I received from Nuffnang is too low, and lots of Malaysian Chinese blogs are using Advertlets as well. However today I gave up Advertlets and changed back to Nuffnang again.

The decision of abandoning Advertlets is simply because they can’t pay to the publishers. After using Advertlets for two months (since October 2007), my blog was affected by its domain name expiry in January. Due to Josh and his colleagues Alzheimer, they allowed their domain name to expire and this is the worst thing that could happen for an online company. However I still wanted to give it a try.

After Advertlets settled its domain name expiry issue, it decided to pay more to the members who continued to use Advertlets. During that time, I have a pretty good earning. Some time later, I discovered Advertlets actually paid differently to bloggers with same traffic and advertisement (shown in image below).

I requested for a cashout in February and March as I reached RM 100 in both months. As Advertlets earning is just peanuts compare to other service, such as Google Adsense and Text Link Ads, I simply forgot the existence of Advertlets in my blog and didn’t bother to check back Advertlets earning again.

I have been receiving Google AdSense payment via Western Union for months. It is very convenient and, most importantly, save cheque processing time and bank charges. However, my June 2008 payment is different. I received a Google AdSense cheque by DHL Express Mail!

Oh~ I miss the “green paper” from Google AdSense

The DHL delivery is not free. Google charged me USD$24 (RM76.80) for the express delivery. That’s not cheap! With the cheque, I still have to bank in, wait for cheque processing, and pay bank fee…

So, it isn’t good to receive AdSense payment by DHL.

Why DHL instead of Western Union?

There is a maximum payment limit (USD$2,800) for Western Union payment method. If your AdSense earning exceeded the limit, Google AdSense will automatically switch your payment method to “Secure Express Delivery”.

You will continuously receive AdSense payment in “Secure Express Delivery”, unless you change AdSense payment method to Western Union again.

Last week, Syam did an interesting short interview with 5 Chinese online money maker. I was invited as one of the five, others are HongKiat, Chan Lilian, Wayne Liew and the popular John Chow.

The “interview” is so short that you only asked to answer 3 questions and they are nothing related to “make money online”.

1. If you in a soccer team, which position you like and why?
2. What color of your toothbrush and brand of your toothpaste?
3. Give me the 4 digits combination of your lucky/favorite number

You can found the answers at Syam’s post. I discovered that I am the only one not using white color toothbrush. LOL~

What would your answers be if you were asked the same questions? I am curious

I am a fulltime blogger but I was away for a long time and didn’t update my blog at all. Did it affect my online revenue? Not really. In fact, I am still getting the same amount of money while I am doing nothing. Dream job, right?

The above is part of the line chart of my AdSense earning for the days while I was away(6th - 27th Feb). The total earning for each day might look vary a lot, but the average earning is same as the normal days.

How about the site traffic? Just like the AdSense earning, there is not much different on site traffic while I was away. The site is still getting same amount of pageviews even I was not blogging.

The above graph is generated by Google Analytics for LiewCF.com during the away period. As you see, It is a stable straight line throughout the days.

No update, but still getting the same traffic and money. Isn’t it great?
