About Aductions

Monday 3 March 2008 @ 9:24 am

Aductions Inc, a San Jose Company is the newest member to the world of internet marketing. Based on a similar system of OpenAds and Text Link Ads, Aductions is said to be the first self-serve marketing system for advertisers.

Their base system is plain simple:

1) Publishers set their inventory
2) Advertisers buys the inventory off the publisher
3) Publisher pay a small cut and gets the funds immediately or upon completion.

So how does it really look or work?

Publisher Signs up. Be it a blogger or webmaster.
-Publisher assigns what to publicize: A Leaderboard, A wide Skyscraper or a Large Square.

-Publisher selects type of payment / advertising model:
CPM (cost per 1000 impressions), CPC (Cost Per Click), CPV (Cost per hundred unique visits) or CPD (cost per day)

-Publisher can do a barter trade with another publisher on the trade marketplace, like eBay.

-Publisher waits for someone to buy his inventory. If there is none, he can put a placeholder to show alternate ads instead.

Now for the Advertiser end

1) Advertiser Signs Up
2) Advertiser uploads funds.
3) Advertiser specifies his requirements
4) Advertiser filters through the publishers for his requirements
5) Advertiser places advertisement.

In actual fact, in step 3, the advertiser can specify the filters, like dermo graphics, ethnic targeting, keywords or categories.They can also see how many impressions it will come on with the CTR ratios and projections.There is even an area to choose by performance of Impressions, Click through Rates.

I analyzed the platform already and the platform in itself can filter out non-performing sites or blogs so that you get your advertising dollar’s worth. I have tried out their system out and for a start up, it is quite a simple system which is what it is all about. It makes things easier for the small timer to get paid as it’s an immediate payout system. It offers payout by PayPal and now they are setting up an overseas office in Malaysia to coax the Asian Advertisers and tease the top notch bloggers and publishers from Singapore and Malaysia.

In effect, advertising rates can start as low as 1 cent for each click to as much as $7 for a day’s worth of advertising banner on a top notch blog with over million viewers a day! You can’t get any better exposure than that.

The company is not setup or funded by any Venture Capitalist. Initiated by a bunch of British lads who had this self serve process. It took them almost 12 months to cook up a correct recipe for the platform with great dedication and a shoestring budget. Now, as we speak, there have been an influx of advertisers coming into their platform ranging from top brand names to even small enterprises.

At least, there is an underdog we can bet on.

Downgrade from Vista to XP…why?@!

Thursday 21 February 2008 @ 5:54 pm

Microsoft Corporation’s new operating system, Windows Longhorn aka Vista is far from just a Vista of goodies, as many have found out. Apparently, they have been in cahoots with Hewlett-Packard (HP) to package only VISTA DRIVERS for the new HP range of Notebooks and Tablet PCs. Forget XP Embedded or Home as most of the drivers don’t work for these motherboards. Poor users, as that means only one thing, poor performance as the need for more memory and faster hard drives will make the system more sluggish.

Basic reasons of why choose XP over Vista?
1) Lower need of Memory
2) Quicker loading
3) Easy driver compatibilities
4) Software compatibilities (Accountants please note)
5) Lower cost

XP requires just basic 32MB RAM and 250MB Hard disk space compared to Vista needing 1GB Ram and 10GB Hard disk space.

Even with XP Home at Vista’s requirements will do excellent in performance as the OS in itself loads up about 200MB of memory in it’s static kernels (kernel32.dll , Explorer, Firefox, Yahoo Messenger, Skype) loaded up.
That is far less than Vista’s 800MB memory (RAM) loaded up in it’s kernel with the need to have a swap file. Heck even at 1 Gigabyte worth of RAM, you don’t need to load any swap file or PageFile.SYS as you won’t need to unless you start doing animations or photo editing (Photoshop,Adobe Illustrator etc) or Video Extraction which is sluggish because it takes ALOT OF PROCESSING POWER (CPU) as to the RAM. Also, the hard disk needs to be fast to read/write/rewrite data to the banks.

Windows XP loads up in less than 45 seconds compared to 3 minutes of Vista Basic as it needs to check if you installed any pirated junk and pornography or pedophile related materials so they can report you.

Windows XP too can be tuned up to run at maximum capacity of 20 simultaneous TCP/IP Connections per stack compared to the rigid 5 connections per application. So much for Multi tasking!

Drivers are not so compatible with Longhorn / Vista as most are written for Win32 aka Windows 2000/2003/ME/XP and they are backward compatible as to Vista which is static for them. Mainly it’s because Vista is written to the core so that it works with Apple MacBook. Yes.. Vista runs Mac! XP Drivers don’t work with Vista and at this edition, ALi, LinkSYS, Asus and some manufacturers older boards and API don’t cal for Vista and HP is evil enough to write only drivers for Vista and not XP as they are too lazy! Dell is as evil too as their proprietary hardware won’t work on Vista as they try to clear off their old stock of Motherboards. This information is up to date for their Desktops and Mini Servers too. A collegue from DELL MALAYSIA which is round the corner confirms this as the compatibility issues makes Vista a problem child.

Software wise, I was told that QUICKBOOKS and many others are not compatible YET on Vista due to the way the network issues are set up. Security tokens don’t work with even SUN Servers. So much for inter-operatability.

Costs? XP Home Stickers can be bought as low as USD25 as they are over the 6mths tie in with the OEM Manufacturer. Vista..is far more. I can’t disclose due to the licensing rules.

For me, if all fails, I just stick to CentOS or Debian Linux. It will sure work at base configs! And it’s free@! Anyway, Microsoft based their kernels on Linux..so what works on XP or Vista MUST work with Linux. Right? Even Apple MacBook Air works on Linux.

Sorry! This is me.. The Geek!
Any updates will be flashed at http://www.azrin.net/?s=helium
Do look out for the privacy issues too@!

Glitter today, Gone later in the day

Wednesday 16 January 2008 @ 12:38 pm

Seems that I have not been getting enough traffic to warrant the need of me having Glitterati and even with Tim’s in-depth explaination, seems I can’t draw enough traffic to make me have some glitter to the party.

Meaning,because some of my sites are not performing just as required,they does not mean it’s not worth a view.And it’s quite true, since alot of my domains point to one site, like WarongKopi.Com and KedaiSingapura.COM but it’s not in Nuffnang marketplace anyway.

I will separate my entities out from Nuffnang anyway, since there would be a conflict of interest actually since Kedai dot Everything offers a Marketplace, Banner Advertising and advertorials which are competing their business in essence.

So, like I said, this Glitterati business is affecting some people’s business but like I said, it depends on the blogger itself, if earning 20% less is better off than earning more in bet-spread terms, by offering more value for money to both the advertisers and readers alike.

If you are wondering where I have them installed, this is the Long List:

Ads, Clicks and Rewards @ Kedai dot TV
Kedai dot US
Kedai dot SG
Kedai dot Info
Marketplace @ the Kedai.TV
BBS Community Websites
Discuss it @ Kedai.TV
Picture Perfect @ Kedai dot TV
Questions? FAQ it!
Network Support for Kedai.TV

Blogs I manage:
What’s the story with Tia Baby
Singaporean in Europe
Walk with me in Europe
Geekz Corner (this one)
SEO Engineering 101
Driving Me Nuts…
SEO that Blogspot
RA Tree Intra Holdings Blog

Chef, Photographer wanna be

That is a long list…but it’s actually longer… and it would be a conflict actually if I install more.
So now, I leave that to it…and stick to chippsmore cookies… and them ads.

If you want more info, look in my Bloglog community on the side OK?

Wordpress Update…. Don’t forget to do this!

Thursday 10 January 2008 @ 6:03 pm

If you upgraded from 2.1 to 2.3.2, please don’t forget this database update:

You may need to access your MYSQL DB controls thru your control panel (CPANEL / WHM / PLESK / HELM ) and go thru phpmyadmin to access them.
Check your CONFIG.PHP for your database settings.

Then …easily update yr blog using the WP-AUTO-UPGRADE script. Yeah..the post ID is satanic abit.

Updating without an update

Wednesday 9 January 2008 @ 7:43 pm

Well, I had the issue with having to upgrade the files of my blog manually. I placed a wishlist with the 2.5 Dev Team in the wish list to have it auto update as Fantastico is a bit slow in updating it’s files and stuff like that and by the time they updated, you have been hacked.

So, what to do unless you want to upload everything? They have this little plugin that does auto updates. It is a small set of files and if you have many blogs like me (about 72 as of today), updating them manually is a hassle. This plugin auto updates it all for you, your files and stuff like that and backs everything up.

Oh yeah. Pre 2.0 to 2.3.x needs a new database-table called Post2Cat so it does the auto updates , which is somewhat an addon to the Tags and auto save function. You will need to add that table in manually thru your SQL.

Anyway, it’s a cool feature to have in your back end, saves alot of hassle of over writing files and stuff like that. Making sure you don’t accidentally delete the wrong one is a nightmare. So, use it..it’s plain simple.

Chao! (and let me know how U find it)
PS: download the plugin, decompress and upload everything to your wp-content/plugins folder. The need of an FTP software (or even in Explorer) is needed.

Goodbye NuffNaggers

Wednesday 19 December 2007 @ 5:16 am

Well blow me down. I was so happy today being Hari Raya Haji (I follow what MEKAH for Hajj) and well, I had a nasty email from YAT about me having both Nuffnang ads.

Hi Azrin,

Upon checking your blogs and account, we have found out that you are serving Nuffnang Ads from both Malaysia and Singapore, meaning you have accounts in both countries. AT LEAST 5 out of 8 blogs registered under your account have ads from both countries. Namely:

http://marlindaradzi.com/
http://azrin.net/
http://melayu.eu/
http://www.azrin.info/
http://www.athira.net/

I’m sorry but we have to tell you that our system do not allow Nuffnang Ads from both countries on the same blog. After all, both countries’ ads are marketed differently, and there will be payment issues on our side. So you can ONLY choose ads either from Malaysia or Singapore. If you want to keep any of the URLs in Malaysia account please delete the URLs in the Singapore account and vice versa.

{Some Contents deleted on request of Ming}

Have a nice day.
Regards,

Yat Guo Jian
Nuffnang Sdn Bhd
http://www.nuffnang.com.my

Shiver me timbers, just as I was getting my BREAK FAST and it’s 10am in the morning. I don’t recall that you CANNOT do so, only to state on the TERMS AND CONDITIONS that you CANNOT show the same ad of the Advertiser in the same page from another network. That is it. Discriminatory? I don’t know. I will not go down the Hindraf way, and well, if you had objections, WHY DID YOU NOT STOP ME 6 MONTHS AGO??!! Honestly, I am feeling lucky now, that my lawyers said that they are DISCRIMINATING AND THREATENING.They forget that their Singapore Office is the place for us to sue them,as most of the sugar is there, and it’s SO EASY to knock SG companies down. Take Criminal Corporate Law pathway, because the CID and CCD will flock that company like a pack of Hyenas for this act of misconduct.

Oh just as well,it’s been fun. It’s been great.I have not received my cheques yet and I know I will never be. So, Goodbye Singapore Nuffnangers, I have to leave. As proud I am as a Singaporean, I will let the current spur run thru, and I think I should remove all of the Nuffnang Ads, Malaysia or Singapore as I know I will NOT GET PAID. At least Google Adsense and Adbrite pays me more often and and with greater payout. Just as I thought I could be their featured MALAY BLOGGER instead of the full runs of Chinese Bloggers like 5xMom and others,with a great sense of earnings.Heck, I don’t receive RM950 per check or so in a month from Nuffnang, but I sure draw more than that.I still have my affiliate programs and other ad units, which makes me think, that I should concentrate on my Kedai-dot-TV which pays for your participation and views and visits and reviews. Best of all, it will be in Pounds Sterling instead of US$. More MOOLAH, but I will not enter the Nuffnang Line of Business…too much dirty.

And so,I have to wave goodbye to my fellow comrades in Singapore and Nuffnang. I already took out Advertlets for the problems with my domain, and so…this means more work on my side to decode all what amendments I have done for them.

So, Thanks for nothing. Their boss said nothing but the tycos wanted to show me who is their gangster, the Real Ah-Long Bukit Beruntung….And the painful lesson to learn that you cannot be a Singaporean and living in Malaysia to earn a decent living which is not enough to pay for my Penang Bridge Toll. Heck even a decent cuppa teh tarik and Roti Prata is not enough with them.

Enough Said?

More Upgrades

Saturday 10 February 2007 @ 4:31 pm

Don’t say I DID NOT WARN YOU!
I am about to embark on my biggest project ever.

What to expect? Alot of downtime, for sure,cos mainly, I’m the only person doing all these stuff.Basicly, alot of factors made me do this.

1) Powweb Servers rental are due. They are not giving us the great deal as before. $7.77 was the deal, with buy one year, get 6mths free… and I took the 2yr get 2yr free. That is still active on the Perkahwinan.Org server. I’m going to remove all that, and port it to another single entity. I have 3 servers there, and there are are two which is under utilised and nearly to it’s end of the prepaid term. So , in order to renew, it’s $200 each, and it’s not worth it. I better put it to good use and renew the domains instead.

Their servers are getting VERY SLUGGISH nowadays, so I think it’s time to port out!Too much problems.

2)Hostgator Server 51 *(NS101) is on the Pre-Upgraded set. So, I am stuck with 5GB Space…and 75GB Bandwidth, whereas the newbies get 100GB space and 1,000GB *(that’s One Terrabyte!) Bandwidth. I have noticed that this server is getting sluggish and since the time we got banned due to a script error. So I did not want that to happen, and killed ALL of my sites, thus I took on more, with one I got for 1c on the first month. It’s silly, and I can say, it’s a real hassle!

But it works like a wonder! At least I can get things done properly, with PPP giving me a hit on the head for some work!

3)My Photo Galleries software are out of date, and so I took a new licensing for TWO new sites and a Photo based Advertising Gallery. That will be on my Free Property Listings - UK Edition. It’s a EBAY Style listing, and Foruming all in one. I will be working on it abit more, cos the previous marketplace I installed, well…sucked! Open Realty also has ALOT of limitations. I don’t want a vB based Job Marketplace…like Powweb did…..nor I want something on Ruby-on-Rails which I don’t even know head from tail! I will work on this once I learn new tricks and when my Linux machines come back to me. At least I can crash and trash it for all I care.

4)For the time being, it’s a one man show, less Mommy Tia & Co, in the world of Technology.My old operations have cease due to alot of problems I don’t even want to get into details.It sucks, and I hate to part with my friends who are my co-workers. So, if you want to work on this project with me, fine, as it’s quite promising, especially on the advertising aspect of things.

There will be more…but do understand if any of the network sites have an issue, it’s probably me doing something in the back…again!

Best Wishes.
