Advertlets auto forwards to AdBaaz

It was funny when i logged into advertlets.com this morning and to find that they seem to have a new layout.

Then when i looked closer i realized that at the top of the webpage, that the Advertlets Domain has expired!!



I was like NOooooooooooooo!!! How come advertlets website is down? I hope its only temporal.



When i googled "Advertlets expired" i found Danny Foo's website explaining that two things that was happening, one was that the domain for Advertlets was expired and secondly if u had the Advertlets code on your blog, it was forwarding it to some funny adbaaz site!!

And the first comment on Danny's Blog was from Josh Lim who said that Advertlets was not closed!! I am glad to hear it.. but i sure do hope that Advertlets fixes its domain problem fast!!!



So what to do?

I didn't want all my web traffic to go do adbaaz.com so the next best thing to do was to go to all my blogs ... sigh one by one .. and remove all the Advertlets code from it!

No choice lor ... it was a painful process .... rather it was long and tedious cos the codes were in some of the Widgets in the Page Element and then there were some codes that was in the HTML section!!!

So aiyoh lah ... step by step have to remove them until it was all gone!!

Otherwise .... if you tried to come to this blog, it would have auto directed you to some funny website on adbaaz!

I do hope that Advertlets fixes the problem fast and that the domain / site will be stable!!

Let's see what happens next!!

Curiously .... RedesignMalaysia.com .. which is one of Josh Lim's blog is also down!!


There's a FAQ site that has been set up on Advertlets.blogspot.com Click on it to get some answers to what's been happening today!!

Hey, thanks for the link back.

Anyway, just wanted to inform you Advertlets is back up again so you're gonna have to invest a little more time...once again. :)
