Advertlets Crashing Again

Posted by: Singapore Entrepreneur In: Business in Singapore

With the new campaign going on, I decided to move my Advertlets ads on my sidebar further up as Josh Lim suggested. I had placed them way down below because it took forever to load the darn things, but thought to give them the benefit of the doubt with new business coming in.

Alas! There is a constant connection error to the Advertlets ads. The bandwidth issues I raised earlier in August remain and it looks like it could be a coding & SQL problem as opposed to a bandwidth problem. I’ve seen these problems before with my former software company. It doesn’t matter how many servers you add, it’s the coding and the system set-up that’s the problem.

I hope Advertlets figures out how to deal with these issues soon as its already nearing 3 months since the problem was raised and Josh and team should have figured out what to do by now.

I just checked the link and it talks about the delay in processing payments- nothing about Advertlets not being able to handle the current traffic flow which is slowing down the display of the ads.

As Advertlets grows, this is just going to become a bigger problem … Josh?

Actually, it also mentions the bandwidth issue, its in the third paragraph. An upgrade is planned later tonight. Cheers :)
