Have you ever seen an advertisements sliding upwards only after the page loads for few seconds? I have personally seen this on Sitepoint and I think it is good way of getting exposure at at the same time not as annoying as popup because it still does not disturb the page you are viewing.

This cool little script, catfish is actually made by Ian Purton, and it uses iframe to implement the advertisements sliding from the bottom. There is few command which you could after the way you want your advertisements to appear, including sliding time, delay, url, height and increment per millisecond.

I am still having trouble embeding this onto my blog because it seems that there is error on IE7 only on Wordpress. This script would run normally onto a html. I think there is something that could not run concurrently with wordpress.

If you are interested to implement this onto your websites.

Feel free to check out the tutorial on how to make a bottom sliding advertisements. It is very easy to implement. Just need to run the javascript and have your bottom sliding advertisements on another html file.

Despite everyone saying that our Malaysian online advertising network, Advertlets are not paying, I still gave them a try and accumulated the minimum payment of RM100. This is because I still see some prominent blogger who promotes their service. My payment is now 2 and a half months due from the day I ask for my payment.

Here is what I have copied out from the FAQ, it seems that they do have the intention not paying or delaying the payment indefinitely because there is no mention of the processing time taken (I though I recall seeing some processing time)

When will I receive my money after I request a cashout?

By default we pay all publishers by check. After your account has accumulated exactly or more than RM100, you will see a cashout button. Once you’ve requested a cashout, we will send your check via mail for Malaysian publishers and Air mail for our Intern

As of today, Oct 15,2008, my payment status remains unpaid.

Did erase my username and shorten the bar so that it could be inserted on this blog easily.

I would guess that they will claim that I have click fraud and it is under investigation therefore it is slow (this is what I have read from other blog comments).

The good thing is that I have switch to other advertisements network after I got my minimum RM100 because of all the rumours. I guess I am not going back then.

Kontera is actually a in-text ads for your website or blog. And after a month of installing Kontera on 2 of my blogs. It is actually getting a small constant earning, although it is not a big sum but it is a stable income. Especially for this blog, Kontera is great compare to my other ads.

I would suggest bloggers to give it a try because it actually does not take up extra advertisements space like other sort of advertisements. Also, I do rarely see any advertisements appearing on my website, it may be due to my geographical location that less advertisements are showing.

I am actually quite happy with website statistics provided by Google Analytics together with Sitemeter stats. On top of this two great website statistics provider, I am also using Woopra because I enjoyed the live statistics on my website visitor. Google Analytics on the other hand is quite slow in its stats and the timezone is messed up, but does provide me a good range data.

Yahoo! Web Analytics is currently at beta stage and unfortunately I am also unable to register for an account. Hopefully Yahoo! Web Analytics will be able provide us with some better stats that no other analytics could provide. From its front page, these are the following features:-

• Basic Analytics Features
• Custom Design Report
• Drag and Drop customization dashboard
• Live statistics (within minutes)

Previous post I did write about an Interesting website about Website Jobs that I have found and I actually did not notice that the link of the website was not included. Howevery, there are already 3 other comments before the forth commentator, Life4Hire mentioned that the link was not included. This is how powerful Top Commentator Plugin could do, but of course excessive of this type of commentator is actually not good therefore, I decided that there should be no keyword specifically to target search engine, you could like as Internet Marketing if you own InternetMarketing.com or some related domain. Also, linking to other path of a domain is not allowed.

I will have to moderate my comments!
