Is Advertlets dying ?
Are you Advertlets victim?
If you are one of the Advertlets publisher, I am sure you are one of the victim during the Advertlets domain name expired incident whereby all traffic to Advertlets.com has been redirect to the domain renewal page.
When I check my blog on last Saturday night ( about 9.15pm), my blog main page loading half way and auto redirect to the domain renewal page as screenshot below. At first, I thought this was cause by spyware on the computer, but when I read carefully on the redirected link, I suspect it was due to the Advertlets code. Without delay, I login my blog and remove the Advertlet code directly form my sidebar widget. It just work fine after that!

Josh Lim, the co-founder of Advertlets admit and apologize for the “domain renewal mistake“. He claimed that:
A complication in the renewal process caused the Advertlets.com domain to expire, and caused issues for bloggers with our ads installed, which made their blogs redirect to a placeholder page. (more…)
For all Advertlets publishers, please be aware of click fraud penalty !
