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.
