« G’Day Mate, Welcome to Australia
Nufflets? »

I think I need to dig my ears…

Well, like I said, it was 5.15pm on Eve of Hari Raya….and well, with kinda bad reception, so I might have heard it incorrectly, as my contact in Google analyzed the stats, and there was less than 4% of error in tracking, citing Caching issues or so. Mainly due to the fact that it loaded ShockWave or Flash applications within the ads, it may be the cause that the Singapore Proxy Servers and Malaysia ones loaded them inside, and not requiring the user to load the script and ping it again.

The issue was nn_id which was encoded into the javascript, but that was apparently inherent to US users using IE or AOL users which was IE addon. This was the respond from my friends in Google, Adbrite and Blogsvertise whom I had the privilege to be acquainted with, and helped me to see if I was showing issues,as if there was issues with mine, then there will be issues with them, and they get not paid.

// JavaScript Document
var nn_server = ‘http://synad2.nuffnang.com.my’;
var nn_home = ‘http://www.nuffnang.com.my’;
var w = 728;
var ad_type = ‘leaderboard’;
var nn_id = ‘nn_’ + ad_type;
var h = nuffnang_bid;
if( !document.getElementById( nn_id ) ){

nn_html = " < div style='width: " + w + "px;margin:0 auto;border:none !important;text-align:center;' > \ n” + ” < div style='display:block' id='" + nn_id + "' >< /div > \n” + ” < table id='nnadsfoot' width='100%' border='0' style='border:none !important' height='15px' > ” + ” < tr > < td align='right' valign='top' >” + ” < a href='" + nn_home + "' target='_blank' title='Nuffnang Ads' >< img border='0' src='" + nn_server + "/img/nuffnang_footer.gif' alt='Nuffnang Ads' / >< /a > ”
+ ” < /td >< /tr >< /table >” + “< /div >“;< /code >
document.write( nn_html );
visit = ‘visit’;

var script = nn_server + “/nn_frame.php?bid=” + h + “&ad_type=” + ad_type + “&ref=”
+ document.referrer.replace(/&/g,”||”) + “&sid=” + (new Date). getTime() + “&visit=” + visit + “&l=” + location . href;
document . write(”< scr" + "ipt type='text/javascript' language='javascript' src='" + script + "'>< /scr" + "ipt >“);
}

This was the code forwarded by my kaki up there which I owe them more than a strong cuppa Cafe Latte.The Highlighted was the issue which they presumed there was an error.

Heck, how should I know, I am a geek, but not THAT GEEKY SPEAKY like the chaps back in Shannon Ireland (where the Google’s Lab Rats were) or as knowledgeable as those Cryptologist back in the Dept of Air Force, USA, who loves cracking games and cheats at them or those WP-TESTERS whose passion is for Code (Code is Poetry..yes). Not to mention those cracker jacks working at Cambridge Worldpay and PayPal Brussels who was debugging my mobile API for Windows Mobile 2008.

So hands up if I get things muddled up, but those were the points raised, and I have the email to point that out. Like I said, it may be because they use Emulators, Virtual Machines or Linux kernels which were in development. I have alot of attention recently because I was cussing Western Digital , my first employers while I was in Undergraduate studies, that their 320GB Hard disk *(Caviars) were full of reworks and the LogPull shows it so, that only 298GB of the original 400GB Platter was working due to the unallocated partitioning; thus rebranding them as 320GB after screwing it up 9 times.

So, if anyone getting any issues with the sites, please paste the problems here, so I can send them for analysis and debugging as I am busy with my KEDAI project. I know currently the API CALL for the Google WP-GUM Mapping and tracking analysis were a bit of a jumble as the API_KEY was not working as well as it should be. Its in the TRACT anyway,and likewise, Beta testing in progress.It even shows me that someone was logging in from Bandar Penggaram ,and NONE FROM PENANG ISLAND (which I think is a sidetrack).

Anyway, Like I said, the Analytics came be fuzzy and 5% is acceptable due to alot reasons, like plugins never installed or anything else. Only Critical Criticism was to show embedded GIF89a only as default with ALT TAGS as it will be backward compatible.It will also show on people’s mobile connections, and if the keyword is “ad”, most likely Microsoft will block it, as I did check last week that the nuffnang subdomain synads are banned for unauthorised 3rd party cookie.Who reported it, I don’t know.If it’s still there or not, Wallah..God Knows.

So, sorry if you guys feel hurt, but I did point my stand, and all I care is to make the users NOT to lose even 0.01% as it may be the case that pays the most money to them, by differentiating the bands of payment. Even my own internal ads show a NO SCRIPT with IMG SRC with a randomized function, so every ad is not static (like NO-CACHE PRAGMA) which complies to the IAB requirements.

Just that I wish we can have standard IAB 468*80 Banners so it’s easier to embed onto the posts , in between every post or so, to ensure the best exposure for the advertiser or client Ref to Function(onLoad:) or onFocus function, just like Vizu did, so when someone sees it within the viewable screen, only then it loads.

In essence, Hands up, I made my mistake.Point noted. TRY not to repeat it.Thanks for pointing that out, and thanks for the Missed Call to my US number.And yeah..I did dug my ear because I can’t hear on my iPod properly….and do you think this is The HostGator Ugliest Website Competition?? I think so because I think so…
